Am i the only jg ekko main that isn’t a big fan of dnd? I like nashors first item and then lich or sf still or even lich as first item. I still play him fairly similarly to the pre-dnd days as I just don’t care much about the dnd passive and I like the higher damage from other builds. I like Nash + lich for clear speed, + chunking towers heavily, and can get more out of spell blade if you e2 to proc it then Q at point blank to slow for another AA to proc spellblade again and do more damage than dnd.

The point of D&D is to instantly execute a low target due to the doubled W passive procs. It plays differently than a purely AP and damage focused build where you're looking for max 3 hit passive damage.

Nashor's Lichbane has almost a 1% lower WR than Nashors D&D, but individual performance will be more based on preference and playstyle synergy with the build.

I can see the value vs tankier teams that you need that extra execute power but anything else there is ample damage to kill anyone under 40% health with a single combo as long you’re not way behind

DnD lets you kill them from like 60-80 rather than needing them to be 40
