STOP PLAYING TRASHREAL
Literally just stop. No the champion is not good, No you cannot win with him. No you do not do damage. No you can't escape damage. Ok yes, if you are a pro and can hit 99% of your skill shots and have perfect positioning with a team that coordinates with your lack of damage and doesn't int all over the place, then sure go ahead and play the champ. But really???? Stats don't lie do they? https://champion.gg/champion/Ezreal/ADC?league= 47% win rate, 47%!!!!! Literally the only bot laners with less of a win rate are corki and varus (surprised on varus actually), yet the champion is played an astounding 11% of games. That means every 1 in 9 games has a 53% chance of a loss. So basically every 1 in 18 games is a loss, just from the champion itself. That statistic is obviously skewed as well because higher elos will have a better chance of winning with such a skill based champion. So basically anything diamond 3 and below shouldn't play him because that 47% is more like 35% win rate. Out of all 141 champions in the game according to op.gg ezreal is #137 in win rate. http://na.op.gg/statistics/champion/ That's right 137/141, only slightly ahead of sejuani ornn azir and ryze and yet somehow has the 8th most played games, just barely lower than yasuo who is #45. Now that's in all leagues. In platinum ezreal goes to #136 and up to an incredible #133 in diamond and an astounding #94 in Master.
So if this is the case, why is every single noob in the world playing this trash champion in ranked? I really wish I knew, that would be like playing sejuani in the jungle every game, or worse like playing nidalee in bronze. Guess what?! Ezreal isn't any better in bronze or silver still positioned at #138 and 137 respectively. STOP PLAYING HIM! Riot had to buff him and he's still on the loss. In case you're wondering, other skill based champions like nidalee and lee sin don't actually rise in win % until master either. Why? Because everyone sucks below that. But then again master tier has to go all the way to #115 as Illaoi in order to go below the 50% win rate, they're just that good on the champions they play.
So moral of this post? DO NOT PLAY CHAMPIONS THAT REQUIRE SKILL BELOW MASTERS! Auto attack, Instant guaranteed CC, Lots of stupid damage. A champion like Garen.... #15 in plat at 53% win rate, #1 in silver and #2 in bronze. Miss Fortune, #1 in bronze (auto attack, hard to miss ult) and still #1 in gold. Brand (stupid damage require very little skill) #4 in bronze and #11 in plat.
