Can somebody on balance explain to me why Ekko gets monster damage instead of Nautilus?

I've written about this at least a dozen times and have found no good answer to this question. Why on God's green Earth is a mid/top laner that is very viable in every meta getting special treatment to help him also be a jungler when there is an actual jungler that can't even do his first clear. Riot destroyed his shield power in season 5 in order to give his E power and then put big mana costs on his e when he popped up in top lane so he can't even use that. Then we got all those goofy Q buffs last year which were as close to a fake buff as you can get. Nautilus is below average at all of the positions currently. At least make him ok at one of them.

"Because Fuck Nautilus"

I'm still waiting for them to revert his E nerf so he can waveclear without running out of mana.

I thought we don't give tanks damage though.

Nautalis has a kit stuffed with hard crowd control, and is insanely durable. Ekko is comparatively easier to kill, has 1 hard crowd control that isn’t super reliable like Nautty Boi’s, and his ult is more for damage than heals. Don’t get me wrong I love the fuck out of nautalis, he is my waiting, but holy hell is he good as what he does already.

Why are we comparing a tank to an assassin and asking why the assassin gets more damage?

Would you rather have the tank with shit tons of hard cc to also do assassin levels of damage? What is this comparison?

I legit don't know why OP is asking why a tank thats designed entirely around durability and cc doesn't have the damage of an assassin

Like isn't it obvious why it'd be stupid if every tank like Sejuani, Nautlius, Zac, ect had damage that was designed to easily kill squishies in one combo?
