I disagree with that. Making my own point is difficult due to subjective value assessment, so I'll make it comparative, but his tank scaling isn't the issue. Juggernauts build tank, but only deal damage, and don't have that same problem.

Ekko has (had) 2 second aoe stun in a size rivaling tank ults, 80% slows and equal speed bosts, and a bunch of utility otherwise with his mobility. All these things don't scale AP. Their value remains the same with AP. as long as they're as high as they are, comparable to other tanks in the game, who don't even necessarily have the same tank scaling, and they build tank - There's no more reason to build tanky on amumu or cho gath than on ekko.

Comparing Ekko's CC to other tanks, and it's up there. persistant slow that is as strong as that, and heavy engager stun -and reliability is there too with the shield, and heal. Personal mobility is up there with fighters and assassins both in terms of burst and sustained speed.

Compare his damage to other champions, and it's just ok.

If you remove the cc, and all he had left was some damage and that tank scaling, he wouldn't be a tank, he'd be a fighter. like how mundo scales insanely with tankability, but in role and function is still a fighter. whose slow is only 40%, mind you vs 60% and what was 80% before.
