Ekko is very much an assassin. At a modest 50 AP at level 6, with no stun or ult use, he can blast you for

71+50+10, 200+40, 71+70+35 (likely 6.11% missing health)

547 + (likely 6.11% missing health).

Which is honestly is not TOO far below what Leblanc is going to hit for if you assume she likely needs to blow a distortion to get in. Leblanc with a distortion max first who distorts in and hits both ends of chain (honestly would call this harder than hitting both ends of the time winder) and an AA is going to burst for

110+40, 200+60, 80+50, 67

607

Of course you can max sigil first for a bit more damage but that hurts you in the long run and most players won't do this. You can assume leblanc doesn't need to distort in to unleash her combo but I'd argue that ekko hitting his stun or ult for damage is more likely than this, and he'd actually win in damage and utility if he hit either of these things.

Now you can argue Leblanc is going to hit two AAs, or that hitting both ends of a Timewinder is tougher than hitting both ends of a chain, or whatever. I'm just saying their damage is at the very least in the same ballpark so the idea that Ekko needs to stay in a fight forever to get his damage off is just wrong.
