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

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ekko.
Additionally, when Blitzcrank plays with Ekko on the same side, he typically takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage could indicate that Ekko does a poor job of covering Blitzcrank during team fights.
