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.

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

This change may demonstrate that Ekko supports by providing cover for her to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Gwen is played alongside Ekko on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Ekko. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Ekko.

Is Gwen better when played alongside Ekko?
There is no one best companion for Gwen that will 100% of the time be her top teammate. However, Ekko is a very typical ally for Gwen. By locking into the same team as Gwen, he increases their win rate by 0.7% to 48.8%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong bond between Gwen and Ekko that allows them to perform stronger together than without each other.
Ekko has a greater difficulty than Gwen. That means Gwen players must be careful when lining up Ekko comrades to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
When playing on the same side, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Conversely, by pairing Gwen and Ekko together, you will not be providing your team much protection for burst damage. Plan to include other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of your Ekko ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
