Looking at his new interactions, it sounds as if Urgot is looking at Ekko as a potential tool. But for what? He says he shows promise, that he's learning, but from what? What's he thinking of using him for? Does Ekko even know? I need to know, man!
Ekko doesn't like a bunch of the crime stuff in Zaun and beats them up if he sees them and stuff. Urgot sees Ekko beating people up as a good thing. Urgot sees Ekko as a young lad who has some rough housing that can be shaped into a Urgot mold.
Ekko dislikes Piltover and its people, and doesn't like the current establishments both there and in Zaun. He's quite powerful for his age (teenager?), and his idea of freedom lean quite close to chaos. So for Urgot it could be fertile ground.
I'd be very very surprised if in a couple years, they make ekko actually accept Urgot's vision and become a bad guy. It would be an awesome twist.
Urgot: I am your father Ekko: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
