"Sadly I don't quite know how to balance him really without making his AP version underpowered"

It's really simple, actually: nerf his base damages to literally next to nothing, buff his AP ratios to balance the base damage nerf, nerf his base shield strength, buff his shield's AP ratio to make up for the base strength nerfs, make his stun's duration scale with AP (1.5 seconds with 0 AP, scales up to 2.5 seconds, for example), make his Q's slow scale with AP, and make his passive's slow and bonus MS scale with AP.

These changes would basically completely annihilate Tank Ekko, making only AP Ekko viable, even if with a weaker early game. If full build AP Ekko ends up being too strong as well (which would be very likely), then dial back on the ratio buffs. Pretty simple stuff.
