Can we give Ezreal's Q the ability to proc Spell Effects?

As A Local Ezreal Main (Zoe X Ezreal Best OTP. What is Taric, What is Lux,) I was Testing and Playing with Runes and Kits on the PBE Last week. Then I found out on the PBE Last Patch Ezreal had the ability to proc spell effects through his Q. Which he lacks on Live. This was unintentional I presume, as it was undocumented and was not shipped to live, perhaps it was shelved.

'But What Are Spell Effects?' Spell Effects are Not Effects like item 3057 item 3100 item 3078 oritem 3025 . And Especially NOT item 3100 item 3100 item 3100

Spell Effects come from Items like item 1402 item 3285 item 3116 item 3151 , These Items do NOT work on Ezreal's Q. YET, They work on Twisted Fate's Q (Twisted Tango > Sun and Moon Birds)

When I was playing as Ezreal, I had tons of fun using it to play and win my games. Finally! A way to play AP Ezreal without looking like I wanted to throw the game! I could Freeze people with all my Spells! Proc the Liandries Combo, Purchase Lich Bane to Synergize!

AP Ezreal, with no increase to his power save for that one ability, had suddenly unlocked huge potential through the Buff. It added an entirely new and refreshing way to play him compared to his almost mandatory Manamune>Triforce build because the Item purchases carried much more usage than just the amount of Damage you did. It was HOW you damaged them now.

With AD Ezreal's Combo is: Q>Q>Q>Q>AA>Q>AA>Q>E>Q Repeat.

With AP Ezreal, His Combo's become: W+Q>E>Q>Q+W+E+R - Open Up with a Strong 2 Hit Combo, E to the Side to dodge CC Q+W>Q>Q>Q+W> - Kite and Poke with a 2 Hit Combo, Throwing W's Into your Q's R>E>W>Q - Ult from a bush, E-Flash to Gap Close and Surprise, W and Q to finish off as they run. Q>Q>Q>Q - Dat Poke

So What makes PBE Ezreal Different from AP Ezreal Live?

The Ability to Proc spell effects. Ezreal's Q is his main Item And CDR Battery, With just that Ability he can shift from a handicapped fighter to a great mage! Upgrading your Q and W first is stronger because The AP ratios make his W pack more punch, while the Q's buff allows him to start his attack from much farther away, binding people with his Q+Rylais and Proccing the Echo's Burst First, The amount of Damage he does is strong.

You would of course upgrade your E later, as the Damage from the W can turn the fight faster than you'd need to E constantly.

I'd Really like to see this buff go Live, It'd be very fun to see Ezreal be played this way, He might not even need a rework to his W if he could proc Spells off his Q! It was a very fun change that felt very healthy, as it didn't change his power or intended playing style at all. Is there any chance we can get this live?

Ezreal already abuses item 3147 . dont give him any more stupid-power spikes.

Why in god's name would you want to buff Ezreal's Q and make it MORE versatile? It's already his entire kit and has been singlehandedly responsible for nerfs to like half-a-dozen mechanics.
