Am I the only one who thinks reworked Ezreal is broken?

I don't understand why such a safe champ can poke/burst so hard?

I was watching a (slightly behind) 20min ez w+aa squishy mids for 40% of their health bar? wtf?

Maybe a w+q, or maybe if he was super far ahead, but just a w+aa when slightly behind (mediocre kills/assists/cs)?

Also played against ez top as tryn, figuring I had to dive hard before getting poked out of lane. Went in against lvl 10 ez as lvl 9 tryn and all he had was a manamune (I only had shiv), more-or-less same gold at this point. Guy 100-0s me with a w+q+e+q in about 2sec flat. I even took resolve secondary with bone plating.

That DOES NOT make sense for how safe he is (long range with a very solid/long escape).

He needs either a range nerf, a dmg nerf to his w, a major nerf to his e (cd or range) to reduce escape potential, or even just a nerf to his w preventing it from going through minions. Long range safe champs like ez SHOULD NOT be bursting people down like he's freaking draven, unless he's 10-0 at 15min with good cs or something crazy like that.

Either he needs to be forced to commit to trades without escape potential (if he keeps current dmg) or he needs a dmg nerf so he needs to actually poke people a little before engaging (if he keeps current safety).

I'm really losing faith in riot's ability to balance champs in the last season or 2 (been around since start of s4).

He's not super tanky, it's just mostly how safe he is, how hard he bursts, and how easy it is for him to get his kit off.

When his w casts quick, goes through minions, and has a solid hitbox it isn't hard to hit somebody with it. Coupled with long range hard to avoid AAs to proc it and his e to engage or escape and it gets ridiculous when he does 1/3-1/2 of your health bar with a w+aa.

He's not really any harder or easier to stay on now than he was before.

My gripe is that before he had to poke you down before all-inning and now with his high burst he can all-in just about whenever he wants, while retaining his previous range/escape.

burst, range, escape. <---- Riot needs to pick 2 and remove 1

First ezreal game in 2 years.... 15/2

I didn't even realize his w refunds mana (and then some xD)

I don't know how riot comes up with this stuff.

Also didn't realize his e procs his w... and with the mana refund + some extra? Busted

IDK, ezreal had 0 pressence in MSI, did they buff him since? He was strong when he could double tear or go frostmancy with a targon support but not anymore I don't think.
