His early game is so ridiculously strong. It feels as if his mystic shot is the strongest lv 1 skillshot in game damage wise. He is just very confuseing

Ezreals weakest point is after the first back so long as the first back is earliest enough that all he got was tear. Ezreal can back on 1300 gold, get tear, boots, maybe a mana crystal or a pink ward. Any other non tear ADC can base on 1300 and get their BF sword and then they just instawin trades because they have damage and Ezreal doesn't.

As for counter play, if you let Ezreal poke you down before the fight, he's gonna win, he's a poke champion, that's literally his job. He isn't designed to carry and straight up 5v5 when he hasn't poked the team down first. So if you can engage in him or his team before he gets set to poke, then odds are unless you misplay you will win that fight.

He is terrible late game

He SUCKS laning phase. If you're not standing behind minions at all times during levels 1-3, you're doing something wrong amigo.

I mean, the counterplay is if he spams Q a lot, he runs out of mana. His early game is definitely good, but playing somewhat passively behind minions means that he can't really harass you, so the threat of Q becomes more moot.

Playing sustain supports/ADCs with Warlord's and stuff helps deal with whatever Q poke does get through. An Ezreal mid/late game can't really out-damage ADCs without his passive stacked anyway.
