Been looking for a backup jungler in solo que and debating between elise and ezreal. Figured being an adc type champion with built in snipe and flash ez would be the better option for carrying. Whats the difference between him in lane and him in jungle, and how do you play him differently from other junglers?
Ezreal is essentially the AD version of AP Nidalee. You can take both buffs easily for an extremely early gank, or go buff-wolves-buff for a level 3 gank earlier than everyone else. It takes them off guard. He also 1v1s other junglers really well, especially with red.
Check out the video of how Ando (IMT backup jungler) got top 15 Korea in 2 weeks.
one has smite
the other usually doesn't
@wanfear, thanks, that helped @JZ Jora, so adcs are carrying around smites now?
"Whats the difference between him in lane and him in jungle and how do you play him differently from other junglers?" By contrast, Jungle ezreal has usefulness as a cheese pick and he's different from other junglers in that if you don't turn the game into a win immediately, you become useless as well.
You should not play Ezreal. Start playing Amumu.
He sucks at farming camps efficiently early so you need to gank a lot to get your lanes ahead, ideally level 2 then level 3 while only taking buff camps, scuttle, wolves and gromp. Should ideally get in at least 3 ganks/invade with your first clear.
He's super strong w red buff. Auto, E and Q will chunk half or more of anyone you gank which will force summs or at least pots which will help your laner out. I recommend to go straight from leash camp to gank mid since their jungler is almost guaranteed not to level 2 gank to help.
His single target spells build up attackspeed
so as long as hes hitting stuff with q. . his clear time is good enough to do blue frogs and red straight into harass
honestly? Jungle Ezreal is like the meta version of master yi. he is feast or famine, but instead of farming, he relies on ganks. He needs very expensive items in a low gold role.
a champion with a similar playstyle is kayn. they both rely on ganking early and invading.
in addition, playing ezreal jungle is like playing ivern jungle, but instead, you get a second adc instead of support. I would recommend kayn if you like the early game damage playstyle, because unlike elise and ezreal, kayn does not fall off lategame.
But if you have your heart set on playing ezreal, gank early and invade alot.
Easy: Dont tell RIOT how it works, I bet they are already looking for a way to nerf Ezreal.
well, i actually finally played against it. cho-swain top was going well...and then ez started ganking...and swain is garbage at escaping so cho and ez both just got crazy fed. we won in large part because their annie afked
