What is wrong with Ezreal?

Today I went up against an ezreal mid, I killed him a few times, but it didn't really effect him or his power lol. He just infinitely spams abilities and never runs out of mana, I was watching the mana bar while he was missing 50 billion skillshots and tp'ing all over the place, isn't that a little ridiculous? compare to ahri, ez's abilities do more damage, have a longer effective range, has more mobility, a cross map huge damage ulti, and his mana costs are r%%%%%edly low. I had to buy 3 doran's rings just to TRY to match his waveclear, and even then I could only push back after I killed him. That's pretty infuriating. Meanwhile I full combo him, it takes like 3/4 of his health, and he w q's me and it takes half mine, I'm basically OOM, and he has a full mana bar how tf is this balanced? xD

His large mana pool comes from buying Tear and Trinity/IBG - For up to 1500 extra mana (with Muramana and IBG) and 15% mana refund.

You also did not have multiple kills up on him. You never had a kill advantage over him throughout the entire game, in fact. From 30 seconds in, when you died to Leona, your KDA was always lower than his.

Ezreal's abilities do not deal more damage than Ahri's (on equal ground - neither being more fed than the other), and that's a simple fact. Then again, he had a 2k gold lead on you at the end, so there was no even ground.

Ezreal is also not "more mobile" than Ahri. Neither is more mobile than the other, they just have different windows of mobility - Ahri has a lot of mobility at once then none for a while, and Ezreal has a bit of mobility more frequently.

In short, you played poorly, didn't dodge shit correctly, and got generally out-skilled.

Also, not really related, but you placed only 3 wards throughout the entire game. Maybe if you had warded you'd have been able to avoid dying to Leona 30 seconds into the game. o3o

It is not balanced at all lol, but it does take some experience with him to get his ablities, and combos down. Doesn't make it fair though!

His W refunds mana, Tear refunds mana. Together he gains mana.

You killed him and pushed his powerspike back... only to fuck yourself over by buying 3 doran ring. That's 800 gold down the drain.
