Why did Mystic Shot's cooldown go up?

For the records, the changes are:

Mystic Shot

Cooldown: 6.0/5.5/5.0/4.5/4.0 seconds => 6.5/6.0/5.5/5.0/4.5 seconds Cooldown reducing effect: 1.0 second => 1.5 second

Arcane Shift

Cooldown: 19/17/15/13/11 seconds => 19.0/17.5/16.0/14.5/13.0 seconds.

I really like the changes, but could we remove the cooldown increase on his Q? I mean, it only hurts his laning phase more than anything and the E nerf is more than enough to compensate for the Q cooldown reducing effect buff.

I can handle the Q and E CD nerfs if it means a whole extra .5 shaved off CDs for hitting your Q, because it means you're going to be PISSING out ultimates, which gives Ezreal much more global presence than other AD Carries. Especially with a 40% CDR build. As for the Q nerf, it's mainly a compensation for the extra CD reducing on-hit. Ezreal can already fire out a lot of Qs. Though to be fair, more Qs could just be the buffs Ezreal needs to contend in the current meta.

actually, if you hit, the CD is the same as before.

They're making building CDR on him better.

By increasing the Q CD it benefits more from cdr, but with the increased flat Q cd reduction it ends up being on a lower cdr than before the changes.

I'm not sure if that made any sense but to put it simply he'll have lower CDs if you build CDR and land Qs

He is going to be even more caster based than he is now. The goal is to make all of his spells available for use not just always Q for poke. He should have a higher damage output with this. And honestly its just .5 seconds of a higher cooldown for even more use of your 3 other abilities, one being your global nuke ult...

It's cooldown is going up because the CDR on-hit is also going up. It's not changing at all if you hit your target.

Basically, just don't fuck up and you're golden.

With the buff to the reduction, it is no different from live.

Assuming you land the hit. Sucks to suck I guess if you really can't land his Q.
