Ezreal is the most unrewarding champion in this game

You hit your 'q'? Cool, my auto attacks do more. And it's got a REALLY high mana cost (along with everything else in his kit). The damage on his ult is basically non existent (and it's possible to miss) and his 'w' does basically nothing (if he's AD). But AP Ezreal is also garbage compared to other AP champs. And he's super squishy, even though he does almost no damage at all. His ult is so weak, he can't even kill a caster minion at full health with it. And even if he does well, he gets outscaled by literally EVERY champ in this game. We have all these point and click champions (Annie, Malzahar, etc) who are extremely rewarding to play, even though they require ZERO skill, and yet Ezreal who's ENTIRE kit (except arcane shift) is based around skillshots is nerfed into oblivion.

this HAS to be a troll. there is no way someone could possibly claim that ezreal q has "really high mana cost"

Is that why he is one of the most three played ADCs right now?

Dude I play ez alot if I have to ADC. Even though I think he's maybe the third worst ADC behind ashe and quiin. Mostly cuz I find ADC champs boring as hell with the following 4 abilities

-Generic dmg nuke/wakeclear nuke

Generic steroid
Generic Dash/Mobility skill -Generic AoE/Bursty ult.

Ohh wait thats ez too.. damn. Well at least his are skillshots that dont scale any better than others but require aiming.. hmm

think of ezreal ult is an excute, people who use it to damage people arent using his ult right.

I'm not so sure that's right. When I typically go against Ezraels, they watch for the support to engage, and as soon as the enemy is CC Ez fires off his ult, making sure they take the maximum amount of damage.

sure it does alot of damage but your also locks in place for a second, which can mcfk you, unless hes so close that he'll be able to pull off his q+w afterwards immediately

Joe DreddDec 17, 20141 votes

That's why I said wait until your support locks them in place for a brief moment, so you can have the time to use your ult without risk.

Then you took 3 years of CC to the face and still E'd to safety because mechanics

That's kind of his thing though. God forbid we have any unique champions in this game. I don't understand why so much of his power budget goes into that skill. Vayne is allowed to have stealth and %health damage, but Ezreal having a mini flash is the most broken thing in the world. GD logic.

Epilogue of LifeDec 17, 20141 votes

I never said Vayne wasn't broken as fuck and total cancer, its just that it takes no skill for Ez to press two buttons and get away from anything.

Ez's Q needs 34 mana. His ult as a matter of fact does enough damage for the low cd it when he hits q's. Please man, look up your facts.

Saying Ezreal is unrewarding when the Legend of the King Poro is out. WP bro...

Ok his skills have like no mana cost... That aside I do love playing ez and feel is is weak though. I think it's just that his steriod is his passive and it takes times to get it at 5 stacks. Like if im pushing and sudden fight happens I find I win alot more due to having those stacks.

As for AP ez. Complete garbage. Pick a real AP champ and scale harder while having some utility.

Cloud273Dec 17, 20141 votes

Ezreal actually NEEDS his abilities in order to win trades. The only thing other adc need is auto attacks. And guess what? Auto attack have no mana cost and no cooldown. Ezreal needs WAY too many items (VERY expensive items) in order to be effective, which leads to constant afk farming (while 4 v 5 teamfights happen). Ezreal is a burden to his team all game.

Sorry but the safest ADC in the game doesn't deserve to hyperscale

Darth Pixy MisaDec 17, 20141 votes

That Q is hitting you at 1000 away. Ez doesnt trade unless he thinks can win.

What the **** type of Ezreal players do you go against?

LU Vanilla Rice Jul 27, 20161 votes

Ezreal has a great kit that scales well with items... It is so rewarding because as long as you stack tear, build properly, don't get caught out, and can land your skillshots, you can easily poke down and even assassinate enemy champions.
