In general Riot wants Ekko to be an assassin champion. Whether that means a full burst assassin like Kha'Zix or Akali, or a tankier assassin like Pantheon or Lee Sin.

I don't think that it's really a bad thing that he needs 2 AP items and 3 tank items now instead of 1 AP item and 4 tank items. It's just different. He can still build tanky, you're just actually sacrificing something to do so, how it was originally intended.
