Tips for Playing as Ekko with Malphite
Chronobreak is a potent escape tool, but it can also be quite powerful when used offensively. Don't underestimate its damage potential.
If you can proc Z-Drive Resonance on an enemy champion, it's worth taking risks to do so. The bonus Move Speed makes it easy to escape.
Phase Dive's dash is a great tool for setting up Ekko's other abilities. Use it to get double hits with Timewinder or get into position to detonate Parallel Convergence.
Advice to Understand How Malphite Will Play
Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.
Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.

Overall, Ekko sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Malphite. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Malphite.
Moreover, when Ekko plays with Malphite on the same side, he usually receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Malphite does a poor job of protecting Ekko during teamfights.

Malphite has a much lower diffuclty than Ekko. That means Ekko players don't need to be careful when finding Malphite comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to play well with you.
When playing alongside, Ekko players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.
Conversely, by bringing Ekko and Malphite together, you probably will not be granting your team enough AD. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's kit.
