That actually isn't possible. Have you seen the conversation below? Tank jungle Ekko at the very least fills some nice niche by having to use his ult correct and land his W for a large scale stun and shield. But the shield is weak. The damage is under average, and the effect of your poke is really weak.

If anything it should only be nerfed to make the other lanes stronger but there is probably a reason why they don't want to do that.

If I had to guess. They centered his kit around him always having to telegraph himself and be rewarded for landing it. Being forced to use his utility is the only way he can be kept from being a face roll assassin that toggles skills to get the kills. Nerfing that utility and buffing his damage to compensate would put Ekko on par with most of the consequence free assassins.

Ya know, the bane of League? Or worse. It would actually make him far too weak still because everything else would be gated by time and positioning but now he has a W that's useless.
