@Meddler - Scope of future Ezreal changes?
Arcane Shift (E) new effect: now has a .5 bonus AD ratio
First off, I am slightly disgusted with myself for including an @Riot tag. It feels petty to try to call out individual names but it seems to work for other people so.. hey, I'll give it a shot. Hopefully this doesn't come across that way, I'm just trying to reach out.
Now, you've mentioned before that Riot was looking at changes to my favorite Champ.
Some of the stuff we're looking at for 5.18:
- AD Ezreal (too weak?)
I mentioned my thoughts there, but as comments can get lose in the crowd I wanted to try to speak up again after seeing the latest PBE change to add an AD ratio for Ezreal's E. I've gone much more in-depth here but the short of it is that I don't think a simple ratio is necessarily what is holding Ezreal back from his full potential. I am simply curious, at this time, what the plans are in terms of scope for Ezreal? On the one hand, I sincerely hope he doesn't get a full rework and end up with some "mini game" aspect to his kit.. but I also think he needs more refining than simple number changes. While is definitely a straight buff to AD Ezreal, I think a little more depth to future changes can really bring out his best attributes.
The basics of my suggestions are to replace his passive with a more cohesive one, in particular adding some situational mobility. Also, the bigger issue in terms of properly carrying I think lies in his late game scaling. Since Ezreal doesn't scale as well with crits (since his main/safest/reliable damage is his Q and does not crit) he needs a better way to amp up his late game damage.
I have had various ideas and suggestions for these but I am wondering at this time what the scope of changes you are looking at for Ez? Number tweaks or any possibility of a partial update to his kit.
