Lategame Ekko can as much as 1738.7 magic damage in a single basic attack if his hits both times and gets the target below 30% health (unlikely to happen if they're at full health but still possible with some squishies). Timewinder alone will be dealing about 850 damage on under a 5 second cooldown, which shares, so his damage and mobility even without his ultimate will be insane. And that's not to mention his defenses between the health and resistance items he can easily fit into his build and his 1400 shield from.

He might not have the assassination speed of a or  but his damage, defenses, and  can easily be greater. He just needs to set up things and time them well to hit everything for that 2k+ damage auto. You're right, it's a lot of delay, but you can easily get everything off during the of your W if you land it - you can usually get the full combo on 2 or 3 people during that massive CC and it will deal an almost guaranteed 2000 damage to all of them with that single attack alone.
