So what exactly was the goal with the Ezreal update?

  • Better wave clear
  • More safety
  • More damage cause he really needed that

Well? Seems like a failure of an update and it won’t surprise if Ezreal reaches a high ban status soon because he’s not fun in any way at all to play against after his update.

doesnt have more safety or wave clear, his update was to give him a w with an actual use on ad ezreal

They removed the 10% less damage on his ultimate for every unit hit thus making his wave clear better again.

His E also no longer has the clunky delay giving him better mobility and safety.

i wouldnt count his ult as wave clear because of its cd, its not consistent or a normal way to clear waves regularly and his e still has the delay, they are NEVER getting rid of it either because if they did it would literally just be flash

His ultimate cool down will never matter because he gets a slight CD reruns for every Q he hits and he can rinse and repeat given when it’s necessary to wave clear

But it does 50% to minions and non epic monster, so it is actually worse for wave clear now.

The only purpose of the rework was riot didnt like how the champ basically had 2 spells during lane phase. They wanted to give him a reason to take w earlier, and I don't really feel like it helped him. The attack speed buff on old W was actually pretty useful for taking objectives as a team. And he's been a pretty lackluster adc for awhile, he's got the range and safety, but super low dmg output.

His ban rate is almost entirely from supports who are tired of watching him do nothing in lane. He's mediocre in a bot lane meta that is very unforgiving.

Exactly my point he does nothing in lane and can get away with it due to his extreme amounts of safety.

Then he has a better all in potential with that new W.

Doing nothing in lane is a very, very bad thing in this meta with all the damage floating around.

He's so easily bullied out of lane its not even funny, and not even by only mage supports. I can zone Ezreals just fine with enchanters. Sitting under the tower in this meta means you've lost.

For the love of god people, stop picking this champion.

He spams his 1100 range Q all lane, yes he can do nothing all lane and get away with it.
