I'm sorry RIOT but out of all the ADC's you nerfed Ezreal??? Seriously???

I saw the latest patch.. they buffed and nerfed many champs (by the way they should have been nerfing the ridiculously OP runes that make first bloods come at lvl 2 in every game)... so I went to bot lane since I play ADC or supp like 90% of the time and I saw the nerfs... two ADCs got a nerf... one is MF who had a nerf on her E to make the CD longer and the other was freaking Ezreal, who got a 40% nerf on his attack speed growth... 40%!!!... not 10, not 20... I know Ezreal doesn't use as many basic attacks as other ADCs but this is ridiculous...

I mean, RIOT, you're not bothered by the fact that Twitch with either Press the Attack or Lethal Tempo is an auto win with at least a couple of quadra kills if not penta, and you're bothered by the basic attacks of Ezreal who had become a very mediocre ADC last season and you're just making him worse? Isn't it enough that his skillcap level is about 10.000 levels above that of Twitch? You have to make my life harder any way you can, really? Because let me tell you this... Ezreal is by far the most fun ADC to play and when you have a great Ezreal game you feel like a boss... but right now everyone is moving forward and poor Ezreal who's blue build is such a pain in the early game has absolutely nothing going for him... and the worst thing is that it's either blue build or nothing... I tried the Essence Reaver to avoid the stupid Tear that gives 0 dmg and makes you very vulnerable early but the dmg output late becomes pathetic compared to other ADCs...

So, what I wanted to say, is that Ezreal is a pain to learn and play well as it is... if you make him weaker than everyone else too, then you're telling all the Ezreal mains a big "piss off"... Ezreal is the most fun champ ever, shooting skills left and right, but now his build is such a pain to deal with and even with the blue build you're good for just a few mins from 2 items to 4 items... after 4 items, go fight a Jinx, Twitch, Vayne, you name it... you're weaker than all of them... and don't tell me that now Ezreal is a Jungler or something... come on... because some koreans reinvented Ezreal jungle last year I have to lose my favorite bottom laner?

PS. Enough with Klepto Ezreal... we all know that they will take away Ezreal's ability to proc it with Q soon (there are about 50 posts on it, crying about it)... so Ezreal will become again the most insignificant ADC in the game... because Ezreal is one of the most fun champs to play but also one of the most HATED ones by people that never put the time to actually learn to play him because it's NOT EASY... IT'S HARD

literally almost had a 1.3 ad ratio on his q pre nerf? hes been sitting at a 55% winrate all elos for the last 2 months. his q will always proc klepto cause hes always has had onhit effect on his q like wtf are you really reaching for straws that much? "people haven't found a counter to Ezreal yet (he has very few I agree... but still, he is one of the least OP champs" yes at not evne mid game he has a 4 second q that is 2 seconds if it hits anything lol. He doesnt have any skill in his kit compared to almost all of the other adcs. People whine about ez because his winrate went up almost 10% just from one buff, but im not surprised since anivia, karthus and ez are "hard to master" to you. People who are low elo usually dont have as much game sense or knowledge and im getting that vibe from these posts.

Please do some research before posting utter nonsense. Ezreal has basically been the best ADC in the game after the introduction of the new rune system. It has to do with Kleptomancy, in case you were wondering (... and you probably were).

Also, stop presenting your opinions on the game, champions and the ADC role as some sort of gospel. According to your op.gg you've played this game since season three and never made it past silver. That means nothing you say related to this game means anything because you have proven beyond any reasonable doubt that you are terrible at it. Enjoy the game, play it... but please, leave the discussions on game balance to people who actually have a clue as to how to play this game.

I am sorry if this comes off as extremely hostile but your posts "triggered" me to the point I had to log in and leave a comment.

After writing 3 paragraphs worth of QQ, not once did you mentioned about him abusing Kleptomancy. You definitely did not do your research before posting this thread, huh.
