>You could argue, that every mage is forced to build AP, but this isn't quite true, because they still have base values and CC that functions just well without AP

Tell me, which mages build anything other than full AP? The answer is Swain and Vladimir, and that's because they were built from scratch as AP Bruisers. Not only that, but Ekko's not even a Mage, he's an Assassin, and Assassins are supposed to build full damage, or at most one or two tank items (mostly if they're in the jungle). Ekko was building FULL TANK and wrecking face. I'm sorry to burst your buble, but Ekko, as a champion, just cannot build tank. With super spammable slows, stuns, shields, and mobility like no other champion has, he just cannot be allowed to build tank so he can be as mobile as an Assassin with the durability of a super tank while having that much damage. It's just too powerful of a combination.

Also, it's good to see how Riot did some of the things I mentioned in my previous comment (nerfed based damage on Q, upped AP scaling on Q, reduced slow on Q, added AP scaling on Q's slow, reduced base damage on R, upped AP scaling on R). Don't be so arrogant next time.
