This difference could signal that Ekko doesn't help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Thresh is played alongside Ekko on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Ekko.
Moreover, when Thresh plays with Ekko on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Ekko does a decent job of protecting Thresh during team fights.

Ekko has a greater difficulty than Thresh. That means Thresh players should be cautious when lining up Ekko allies to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.
Although, by grouping Thresh and Ekko together, you will not be granting your side very much tankyness. Plan to include other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their playstyle.
Regardless of your Ekko ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
