So I have been looking at the ability details of Ekko, and I can't believe just how absurdly overpowered thsi champ is. As an assassin, Ekko should be able to dish out strong bust damage, but it should be with significant risks as well. His kit has too many safeguard, in the case that he doesn't blow up a champion or if he messes up a combo. Thematically, anyone who messes with time continuity also risks severe repercussion from careless actions; this is a very common theme in any sci-fi where time travelers/manipulators are found.

Yet, not only is he able to do so much damage and have almost unblockable gap closers, he also has a self-heal and shield with a massive AP ratio! I was looking at just Parallel Convergence. You got a percentile on-hit passive, an AoE slow, an AoE stun, and a massive shield to boot! The base values of that shield is even greater than Shen's Ki Barrier, not withstanding the the additional AP scaling.

I think if Riot really wants to make Ekko balanced, then then they should just rework Parallel Convergence so it only has the AoE slow/stun, and get rid of the passive and the shields. Those are not necessary for Ekko's kit, and it plays along the lines of the risks when dealing with the time stream; if you mess with Time, Time will mess with you.
