Build that made me go 16/1/11 last game as AP Ekko mid vs Heimerdinger: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2060475859/39699769?tab=overview

1. Hextech Gunblade - For the sustain, the active, and both AD and AP that Ekko makes use of.

2. Abyssal Scepter - Went for this second because of the enemy team having 4 AP champions and Heimerdinger.

3. Ionian Boots of Lucidity - CDR is your friend

4. Lich Bane - Already slaying people long before this but made my burst get much higher + CDR

5. Rabadon's - Didn't feel right to build it before this point, E + Lich Bane + Passive = one shot

6. Void Staff - Was gonna finish up with this for the pen since I had no trouble surviving without Zhonyas

Core Items:

Hextech Gunblade - Sustain is massive, Ekko makes good use of both the AP and AD, and the active is just amazing once you're accustomed to using it. Using Timewinder on an incoming wave and procing your passive on creeps will take you from 0 to full in a few seconds.

Lich Bane - Now with CDR! Land two hits of Timewinder and E in to kill someone from over half hp.

Rabadon's - Huge chunk of AP

Situational:

Abyssal - Great item on Ekko overall since he makes great use off all of its stats assuming you're fighting an AP mid, but if the enemy team lacks AP go Zhonyas instead.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity - CDR to dash all over and have your ult up when you need it is a must, and if you can't fit it anywhere else in your build then pick up these boots.

Void Staff - Good chunk of AP, amazing Mpen, but otherwise nothing else. No need to grab it if you're not having trouble killing people like I wasn't in the above game.

Morellonomicon - I love this item. AP, mana regen, CDR, and healing reduction all in one place. Definitently worth building if the enemy team is really sustain heavy.

Luden's Echo - Movespeed is great on Ekko, AP is great on Ekko, and the passive is decent, even if it doesn't fit Ekko's assassin character. The Luden's proc with 800 AP would be doing 180 magic damage before MR and pen and whatnot, spread out over the whole enemy team it's useful, but for killing lone targets the passive is trivial.

Rylai's - Could be great on a tank mage Ekko, or if you just need the hp to go with Abyssal/Zhonyas. Great AP, great hp, great passive. Should proc on the third hit of Ekko's passive and make it impossible for a fleeing enemy to escape.
