Suggestion to change Ezreal W spell

Macilento··2 votes·547 views

Okay so, im playing quite a bit of Ezreal lately, and everytime i play him i wish that W wasn't in the game at all.

So a bit of context: I really like the niche of Ezreal being a caster adc (or mage sometimes) all based on skillshot, and he is pretty fun to play too. He is also one of the most versatile ADC you can have, in terms of builds and utility. All of his others spells are really good in terms of feeling and satisfaction and general theme, exept that W.

That W is unholy i swear. It's so horrible when you use it. Yeah it gives AS to allies or yourself if you do that very mechanical combo, but does ap dmg, and DOESN'T HIT MINIONS.

It's a so bad design for me for an adc, that spell hits like a truck if you do AP, but for the rest.... sorry to say but it's shit pretty much.

So, Ezreal would be in a much better place in terms of feeling and satisfactory play, if Riot could give a look at him and change heavily or remove this ability.

What i suggest is to keep it a skillshot, but with shorter range then his Q, does always magic damage and hit everything it passes through (yes including minions :P) and apply a debuff on enemies hit by it.

I was thinking something like "the next spell or autoattack of Ezreal that hit debuffed target cause it to radiate arcane energy for 2 seconds (in a small radius around it) dealing X magic (little dmg) to anyone around it".

This would probably require a bit of scaling up or down on his others spells probably, but in the end it would be cool to have that new mechanic on him. It would help his waveclear that is non existent, without changing his thematic.

EXAMPLES: Wave clear: You could do some better waveclear shooting a W on the minions near you and then Ulti on them. Since only the ulti is not that good of a waveclear (unless you are AP) with the new mechanic the little aoe of the debuff of the W could couse the minions to die, Giving Ezreal a way to do a healthy waveclear but costing him much mana and a ulti, so not something he can do always.

This would also consolidate the "Poke ADC" theme of him wich i fear is not that strong right now, so ID HE LANDS HIS PELLS RIGHT he could do some very cool poke on the enemy (E to get in range, W for debuff, Q that proc the debuff)

Tell me what you think guys, i would appreciate a Riot answer on this too thanks :)

I like it the way it is.

tl;dr A shorter range in exchange for minion hitting and more damage?

I like him to have some variability that doesn't involve a way that he can be abused any worse than he already is.

Mmm, Shorter range doesnt mean "very short", but just not as long as Q, and his dmg would niot be "more" but distribuied in a different way, with that aoe component

Just an opinion tho, i really don't like that spell as it is right now
