W passsive: yes, because otherwise tanks will just laugh at him. And ekko rarely has the opportunity to run in and sit on someone long enough to get more then 2 procs in. Either they die, or ekko is dead by that point.

The movespeed stealing on his passive: it's actually his only real escape if ekko gets cut off. Which means he has to outplay and skirmish to escape. And by cut off i mean put into a getting tower dived situation, or ganked / flanked while pushing. Sure he can dash over a wall but if 2-3 enemies are there eventually they can box him in.

Manaless ult: yes, ekko has low max mana, high ability costs, and its easy to go oom before killing someone with e.g. 400 mana. He would be less fun if he couldn't rewind time to escape his 400 mana all in only to run oom before a 2nd Q could be cast that would have sniped for a kill. But, same scenarario, he goes in, doesnt get the kill, but now can't get out because he has to pay for it. What assassin does that? Every assassin has mobility somehow
