You're right about ekko being a skirmishing champion however ekko is an assassin. Riot explicitly stated he is a skirmishing assassin. So yes you're right, that just also happens to be why you're wrong. They even said in the spotlight its a new thing. In many ways its less well developed than normal assassins, in many ways its better. That he forces you to respect his zones is not a really big deal in my opinion. Just means he should have the fighter tag as a secondary and what do you know, he does. Please note, rengar is also an assassin. What does rengar have? Tons of damage (Q and empowered Q), tons of tankiness and healing(W and empoweredW),Fairly hard CC E and empowered E), Strong engage and minorly powerful disengage (ult allowing him to go invisible).  The only difference being rengar bursts you faster and has less counterplay when he goes in, but has less zone control.
