Just because he does not have 50%+ win ratio does not mean he is bad and that you should troll/ban him from me.Win ratio is BS and it consists of people who dont play ezreal and people who pick ezreal because he is a safe pick.
No, he is legit bad. You think out of ALL the people to play Ezreal, him having a winrate so much below 50% (44% atm in plat and above in Korea) might actually mean he's bad. That being said, I believe in having the freedom to pick whatever you want as long as it fits into the role. THAT BEING SAID, I would probably dodge if my adc were to hover over Ezreal in champ select.
Wait Ezreal's bad? I've always hated playing against him because of how obnoxiously safe his playstyle is.
I believe that every champion can be played well to an extent. If you got to my mmr playing an off meta champion, then you've earned it. Props to you for not just following the meta and playing what you enjoy.
Also, Ezreal really isn't all that bad. He's not a popular pick now, but he hasn't received any major nerfs. He's definitely not a troll pick. No other ADC fills his niche, no other ADC has a built in blink or builds muramana/gauntlet.
There is one time when I consider (JUST CONSIDER) picking Ezreal.
Double Lethality + ADC (something like 
.
Because Ezreal can go 
and have like 160 armor with these 2 items.
And even then it's questionable...
I don't care what ADC you pick as long as you're willing to retaliate in lane. You can pick 
who is considered one of the best ADCs right now, but if you're a little bitch who runs at the moment you take a single tick of damage then you're not doing your job. People should think more about what a teammate can do, not who they pick.

Ezreal is really bad though. You're just putting your team and yourself at a massive disadvantage. While you're stacking tear you're effectively dealing 0 damage in the early game (which is more often than not the decisive part of the game). So ya. Ez is bad whether you wanna accept that or not.
Tbh I think they should just make his Q able to crit. I think that would fix all of his major issues.
Another bad point of Ez is that his poke does no damage to tanks and do not pierce targets through.
Except that he is pretty bad right now, but that doesn't give anyone the reason to troll either way.
Unless he is a hardcore Ezreal main/onetrick, Ezreal in the hands of some random in soloQ is probably going to be bad. Not everyone looks up OP.GG the moment he enters champ select...
Sadly riot doesn't do anything against trolls unless there's a thread on Reddit frontpage
Well, your team definitely shouldn't troll based on your pick but you shouldn't be picking Ezreal in ranked right now. The champ is really bad and hurts your team's chances of winning significantly as opposed to nearly any other adc you could pick.
He just can't compete in a tank meta especially with how good crit items are right now since he's the only adc in the game that can't really utilize them.
(also, winrates are absolutely NOT bs and are usually a good representation of how good the champ is unless he's really hard to play like Azir or really easy to play like Soraka).
It's not that his win rate is sub 50.
It's that it's sub 45 in Diamond.
