Since when is Ezreal considered overpowered? I have no issue with this champ what so ever. He's got an average lane phase, his team fight potential is average, his AD dmg is average, his push potential is average. He's just a well rounded champ...The jack of all trades and a master of none. I see no reason to even touch him right now.

It's because he belongs in a museum.

I think the simpler solution ((Lazier)) for them is to just dial back numbers on Ez. Otherwise they'd have to put time and effort into changing his kit, since they're so hell bent on him having the option to be a utility carry.

so instead of solving the problem ruining the champion further would be better?

keep in mind he had his numbers reduced both cooldown AD, and AD growth this season because of IBG

Also, keep in mind Kalista and Azir. Riot are not against ruining champions.

He has no utility. No stuns, no team buffs, no heals, no cc.

I said the option of being a utility carry, which IBG provides.

His W can grant his team mates an attack speed buff if they line up and his Q applies on hit. I assume that was what he meant by Utility.

It opens up a unique option that other carries don't have. That's not exactly a bad thing. If he has to be balanced around it, that's not exactly a problem. Making it melee only just reduces future potential options for the sake of solving one champion's temporary balance problems. That's bad design. Design goals should aim at increasing potential options, not limiting them.

Besides, is Ezreal really overpowered right now? I mean, he seems pretty average to me.
