Other Assassins do what he does in a shorter time frame, with more reliability, and outright better.

Also, his q slow is meh, as in people will outrun the q since it moves so slow, his passive slow takes three hits, and his w slow will almost never do much, since whenever it would he can likely just stun with it. Basically, he has a lot of utility, but most of it isn't impactful.

If you really want a two second stun just take Amumu or Galio, they can usually safely get into the midle of a team, and their stun/taunt is much more likely to hit something. If you really want an assassin take Leblanc or Zed, they can actually kill the carries before being forced to run.

The only niche time to pick Ekko mid is if you just have so much lockdown that your w is impossible to miss. If you hit multiple people with that, which is extremely rare against even decent opponents, then Ekko was for once actually useful in a teamfight.
