Ezreal's Q has two components: the core ability, being the skill shot, and the functional benefits, being the on-hit effects and cdr on hit. I like to view any ability that has more than two functional benefits as being overloaded. I would say two or more, but to me in that regard it's more like two or more paragraphs in the description. As a player who has most of my mastery points in
, I like that he's getting a rework for his W, and I agree that bringing an AS scaling for his Q can help his kit better complement his passive and on-hit builds. However, I do believe that if Mystic Shot were to get a new benefit, something else in his Q would likely have to get nerfed a bit. The channel reduction is a very small benefit, so I would assume that the nerf would be small, as well. But, the damage on his Q was already nerfed to the gutter during the klepto nerfs, so Idk what to expect in this scenario.

That said, we also know that Ezreal players aren’t in love with his current W, Essence Flux, so we will be updating that ability to be more in-line with his theme of an ace spellslinger—lining up shots then knocking ’em down.
It seems like Riot wants to focus on reducing his AA potential in favor of poke and burst. I really hope he doesn't end up as the next Zoe.
