[Help me? ;-;] How does one carry/win as Ezreal?

Alright, so I'm averagely-bad at league of legends. I have no problem admitting it. I also know one of the keys to climb at lower elo is is to play simple champions with lower skill caps. That's how I got out of bronze in a week (used Fizz ) after 2 years of being b5 (2 years?item 3070 item 3070 )and climbed to S1 from S5 in 2-3 days in pre season (usedSoraka ) But I just * love playing Ezreal, holy. There's just something about landing skillshot after skillshot and pulling off flashy plays if you do stuff right, that has revamped my interest in league as a whole. Yes, I could just play him in norms, but playing normals I find really kicks the fun out of the game I find, I'm far too competitive to not play ranked unless it's down for x reason.

Here's my dilemma. So, as I said I'm currently S5. I'm playing ADC now because of said champion, and I have played 2 normal games, and roughly 25 ranked games as ezreal. I've only won 10 (2 unranked 8 ranked). I have won lane every time except for once, and usually have 140-180 cs by 20 minutes (depending on how active or passive laning was).

I usually build [Core: item 3004, item 3078 (or item 3025 if all AD enemys), item 3153 (or item 3072 if no tanks)] , as wellitem 3158/item 3009 for boots, then depending on enemy team/my team two of: item 3814 item 3156 item 3139 item 3142 item 3036 item 3033

Runes: +9 Armor +8.5 AD +16.1% Attack Speed +6.7 MR Masteries: 18/12/0 18(Fury, Fresh Blood, Vamparism, Battle Trance, Battering Blows, Fervor) 12(Savegery, Stash, Merciless, Dangerous Game) I was running 18/0/12 because from the guides I read that's another viable option but I just found I was a lot more useful with 18/12/0

Teamfights I fight them like any other adc, stand behind my front line and attack the safest target to me while avoiding cc/damage. I'm usually the last to die in a fight and end game win or lose I usually* have the most damage in the game if not that then the most on my team. But I just can't seem to win. I feel like I'm doing everything right. I played a more 'meta' adc (MF) and I just stomped 2 games like it was nothing, and I played the same way as I play ezreal as far as decision making etc etc go.

It's only Silver V. It 'aint plat/diamond over here. Surely there's a way to climb with Ezreal. What am I missing? Help? qq ;-;

Edit: There's also a good possibility I'm a boosted animal and need to be euthanized item 3070

Its probably something in your playstyle. As ezreal, you should be autoing and q'ing in team fights. Use the extra attack speed on your passive to your advantage. If the tanks get to close to you, E away and keep kiting. I see alot of ezreals just staying very far back, pressing q, and missing them. Also, ez isn't a hyper carry, IMO. Just watch other diamond ezreal players and observe their playstyle.

Be sure to spam abilities with tear, and get murana arund the 20 minute mark.

If you get it too late, you lose a lot of mid game power

Hit the skillshots and you will carry. I've seen Ezraels to do very well - some of them even too well (probably scripters). I sometimes play Trynda top and when I slow them with my W, Ez on my team usually lands all of his Qs, so get a friend that plays a champion with a slow, if you wanna climb with EZ.

I don't really think ezreal can carry this patch... or even next several patches... His scaling time is too long comparing to those high win rate champions
