As DexterWolf said, everyone's fears are more than justified, Ekko's kit is so packed full of everything that he could go full tank and still duel the enemy damage dealers with ease. Give him just one or two damage items on top of his ridiculous base values though and you get the definition of a broken, toxic champion. Even with just Sorceror's Shoes, Haunting Guise, and an Athene's, his mana problems disappear, his cooldowns become a non-factor, and he can melt practically any target.

From what I've seen on PBE, I can only pray that the live playerbase makes enough noise for someone at Riot to finally see how out of touch their balance/design team is. After making Bard, a champion with such an absurdly low positive impact in games that he's still just considered a "troll pick", it seems like they severely overcompensated when making Ekko.
