So as many of you are probably aware, Blue 
has become increasingly common. Now I've always had problems fighting because of his skill shot range and blink ability that gives him so much kiting potential (which as a tank player, is my worst nightmare). And his use of blinks when I gank him is infuriating.
So how does one fight ? What's the strategy and what counters him?
MrBuffington5 votesEzreal is a very safe ADC since he can CS from long range with his Q and also his E makes him very slippery. I think generally blue Ezreal is pretty weak early since Tear gives him no offensive stats; he needs a bit more ramp-up time. He's going to poke a lot, his all-in is weaker. Since he's so slippery, it's difficult to force a fight with him, but if he ever uses his E offensively, abuse that cooldown. Since you're a tank player, I'm assuming you play jungle/top? I think for you, it's really about paying attention to his E usage, and punishing him for using it offensively or having him retreat and basically removing him from the fight. You can also practice dodging skillshots; most players are pretty obvious about when they're throwing one out. Blue Ezreal is useless if he can't land skillshots, and if you can either punish him for playing too aggressively or take him out of the fight by making him retreat too far away to affect the fight, you've won.
Ralanr1 votesMainly jungle. My biggest weakness is that I play with locked camera, so I can't watch his abilities 24/7. I know the one I fought only used his blink for escapes. What's the cooldown on it anyway?
MrBuffington1 votesDepends, given the CDR in his build, as well as his internal mechanic where landing Q shaves some time off his other cooldowns. In general it's pretty short; Ezreal typically maxes his E second, so you can judge the cooldown based on his lvl and stuff, but I think generally a rule of thumb is you want to act within a couple seconds if possible. I think a lot of Ezreal players are very arrogant and play over-aggressive, so you'll see them E into fights all the time, which is when you jump on them.
I think if the Ezreal you're playing is overly cautious, the best thing you can do is not let yourself get poked down, which either means you super hard engage on the enemy and just wombo the crap out of his team, so even if he escapes, his team is dead and he can't really do much on his own except annoy you. Or just avoid prolonged stand-offs. You know that time in the game where everyone just groups mid and sits there doing nothing? Yea, that's where he pokes you to death. Instead of that, move around the map and go for objectives, make Ezreal come to you, and he'll probably make mistakes which you can capitalize on (watch your smites in case of steals from his ult). Also, don't just adopt one strategy, use both, or others.
I think blue Ezreal also falls off late game, since he doesn't really rely on crit, just his damage from Q and Muramana (though with ER, he probably has a bit of crit. His Q doesn't crit, though, so he'll have to get into auto range to utilize it, making him much more vulnerable).

Don't do that.
As for cooldowns and such, I usually just use the wiki. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Ezreal You could also check some of the LoLking guides on how to play Ezreal and see if you can find some weaknesses to exploit if you're at a total loss.
Ralanr1 votesLocked camera or watching his abilities?
Chibi Templar2 votesLocked camera or watching his abilities?
Locked camera.
I used to be part of the Locked Camera Brigade in 2010-2012, and working your way out of it definitely improves your play.
Ralanr1 votesBut it's so weird...I'm too used to playing games centered around my character. If I played more RTS's then maybe I'd get the hang of it.
Illgore1 votesI think he meant watch abilities.
btw, try to bind camera lock on "space", that helped me a lot. It feels more natural and faster to switch between locked and free cam.
BladeSteel3 votesThe reason blue ez is so good right now is that every single time his q hits an enemy (minon, jungle montster, champion etc.) all his abilities cooldowns get lowered by 1.5 sec. so even though his e is on a 13 sec cooldown at rank 5 every time he q's something that gets lowered by 1.5 sec. so its basically on cooldown every 6-7 seconds or so if he hits every q. and thats not with cdr. blue ez right now usually has about 30% cdr. so it now has a 9 second cooldown. which means its off cooldown every 4-5 seconds. add the slow from the 
and you have someone you can't catch unless you're kassadin olaf or yi. my reccomendation? just ban him until he's nerfed.
and yes you shouldn't be playing on locked camera especially in the jungle. if you are playing locked camera how can you tell which lane needs ganked and which you can live from, and where the enemy jungler is so you can countergank/counterjungle?
Ralanr1 votesI've been using the minimap and teammate health totals to reasonable success.
BladeSteel1 votesbut you can't see enemy's health level. you can't tell if the enemy just used their escape ability (zed, lb, ez) to attack, so its a perfect time to gank. You can use that to "reasonable success" but it isn't perfect. your game will improve if you work on that.
Ralanr1 votesBased on my games with Shen, you are indeed correct.
Abyssphere1 votesI've been using the minimap and teammate health totals to reasonable success.
Even in the jungle? I hate unlocked cam and it legitimately makes me avoid certain champs that are majorly reliant on it (Lux and Vel'Koz have both given me trouble), but I think you do need to look at it when you're jungling. Even if switching unlocked camera is kinda awkward, you can afford to do it while clearing because you don't need to pay that much attention to your champion while doing that.

i cringed a little
Ralanr2 votesThankfully I don't play ranked.
Rebonack2 votesBarring a bushwhack, hard engage/CC lock is the only way to reliably kill Ez since he's moderately durable.
That or just hope he's bad and Es into melee range with your Jax.
Maple Crusader2 votes{quoted} moderately durable.
Ez is insanely squishy. How is he durable?
Meep Man3 votesBlue Build gives him increased durability by a decent bit if I recall.
Abyssphere1 votesEz is insanely squishy. How is he durable?
Blue build has tank stats incorporated.
darkmatchwaldo1 votesModerately. he gets 65 armor from
Maple Crusader1 votesFlash and CC him?
Reynard the ƒox1 votesHard engage counters poke. Vi, Malphite, Leona, et cetera.
Xenomancers1 votesIt's a pain in the butt. Having lots of tanks is the best way to deal with him. He can only slow one of them down.
Erockandroll1 votesIf I had to base my answer of the Blue Ez I played last time. It would have to be "Kill everyone else first" (Then again, I was worlds ahead of my team.)
It would seem like Ez's poke and kite, is at cost of DPS and tank shred. Also, his safety allows him to work well from behind. However, he may not have enough DPS to kill you if you focus someone else. (since you won't have to worry about him kiting.)
My only other Recommendation would be to flank him in a major team fight. But that may not be your job if your playing the tank. and you should probably focus one of the other carries first.
Dedrius1 votesIf you play tanks that are easily kited, you are playing right into Ez's wheelhouse when it comes to being countered. He is very strong against tanks that need to run him down to do damage (Darius, Garen, Voli) but not amazing against tanks in general. You could play something like Gnar, who has range, engage, and some hard CC to get onto Ez and lock him down without getting kited too hard, or you could try something like Naut or Mao who both have Point and Click CC that make his mobility and ability to kite a bit of a non-factor.
Meep Man1 votesMainly just by bursting him down as quickly as possible through Assassins and Light Fighters.
I AM MUFFIN LORD1 votesidk man ez seems weak to me every game ive had that had an ezreal adc made us loose ;/ guess thats the bronze curse
but if he does give u trouble just try to bait his e since thats his basically a flash since ez isnt like other adcs which rely heavy on auto attacking you can out trade him by bursting him down also stick between minions to avoid his q and even his e
Drehirth1 votesit's like master yi lol. Every one on my team just happens to be trash. Other team different story -_-
ProfDrDeath1 votesIn the banning phase.
Ralanr1 votesThere are a lot of champions worthy of bans. I'd like to learn how to fight certain champions so I can save my bans for other things.
ProfDrDeath1 votesTrue.
The problem with that ****tard Blue Ezreal is that you either counter him on a compositional level or you have to hope that he or his team screw up.
Drehirth1 votesAs far as your characters go (tanks) just start making 
core(it's a very good item to begin with atm anyway according to many, and it's noticeable as well). Since you are already relying on other people for damage the best way I would think is to try to kill his team and just push because as a tank you'll get kited forever by him.
MunchCrunchLunch1 voteshes one of the squishiest adcs. because he doesn't build attack speed or much lifesteal so that he usually get bursted down quick. unlike some adcs that just heal themselves like crazy. just pick something like vi or renekton and jump in his face and blow him up
Crossette1 votesPlay Udyr, he can flash, E, Q you with an , everything. You'll catch him and kill him.
RookPusher1 votesTake a Maokai support. Not only does Ezreal give Mao near constant heals, but his gap closer/CC screws his day up.
NazZomLord1 votesYou deal damage to him, more damage than he has hit points. That is how you kill him.
KyroRayne1 votesYou play Taric against Ezreal. They are the top OTP for LoL currently. They can't do anything except be together if in the same game. Kill Ezreal while he's distracted and then win the game.
darkmatchwaldo1 votesTaric Mid OP
Dominick Destine1 votesJust remember that is a lover, not a fighter.
Lovely Pants1 votesEzreal has always been a slippery fish. I've traditionally preferred to just look for a different mark as a jungler unless he's bent forward all the way in lane. If you're ganking his lane as a tank you could always opt to punch his support in the teeth instead. Even if the Ezreal player is being super safe, if you can force the support back enough that your ally support can pressure the lane, he will find it much harder to trade and keep on top of his minion count.
A starved blue Ezreal is a pitiful picture and never really gets the chance to become exceptionally bothersome, in my personal experience of this season hanging out with him in the duo lane.
Ralanr1 votesThis was a mid Ezreal.
Lovely Pants1 votesAh. In that case, it's pretty much the same as Zed tactics for me. Relieving a little pressure on the lane opportunistically if you can, but not really going heavy unless he has spent his escape to go aggressive already or you can chain CC after your mid laner lands an invitation.
FooDang1 votesIf you played Irelia then this post wouldn't even exist.
Very Epic Guy1 votesHate facing a blue Ezreal so much... Just literal endless poke
Mistikal1 votesYou simply smash the wave into his tower early and ward deep to keep from being ganked. his wave clear is awful and you can starve him of hi late game.
