Ekko's CC is hardly avoidable... Q's missile speed on the way out is one of the game's fastest, and turns into a decent AoE. If you use it to gauge whether to go in or not (like new Nida Spears), you get a slow which you then can use to Phase Dive on the enemy, run past them in your preferred direction, and then watch them absorb yet another hit from Timewinder, for a near-guaranteed passive proc. That's overly reliable for that much damage, and why he will be Kha'Zixed out of general viability at some point... unless he finds himself safely avoided like Zed has.

Too many people are gauging his viability on his W, which is a luckshot at worst, but can be a strong bait mechanic since his supposed "counter" is to focus him down when he overextends. 2.25 seconds stun is extremely strong, and if he procs it, he still gets a crazy powerful shield to go with it.
