Why is no one talking about Ezreal next patch?

Next patch Kleptomancy will be removed and I am afraid it will nerf him alot.

I really like playing Ezreal since it’s the only ADC I can really dominante with when I’m on my second role. No other adc’s appeal to me the same way as Ezreal does, and how he works with Kleptomancy.

Not only will he be nerfed, but other ADC’s like Kai’sa, Vayne, Xayah, Draven and Lucian seems plain better than Ezreal.

I don’t see why Kai’sa is WEAKER than Ezreal in SoloQ or ProPlay. It just makes no sense Ezreal has to be nerfed this hard with no compensation buff.

kleptomancy is unhealthy for the game: for the sake of RNG you can get free gold and other items for essentially nothing. spamming Q or some other ability is NOTHING. not only this, but some champ can abuse that rune to such and degree that is un-evens the playing field dramatically. ezreal being one of those.

despite its removal, it wont hurt Ezreal, he has pretty much always been viable, is safe to play and has GREAT ranged poke. And has multiple options for a build path.

to top it all off, he is clearly a favourite amongst riot and the pros - the only reason he will EVER be non-relevant is if all other ADC's get buffed to thanos-levels or ezreal get hard nerfed 5 times in a row.

also: kai'sa is NOT weak, and dont pull up the 'but, the wInRaTe' argument: winrate has always been a bad way to balance champions and will remain so for EVER.

That's all.

Now he's free to abuse Dark Harvest as his go to again. He's still going to be that safe farming, looking to scale up, type adc. In low elo where I am, I could abuse Ezreal with Klepto simply because it shored up my piss poor cs as an adc. I only ever did well because I had a safe champion with extra gold flowing in.

Depending on how his Q applies energized attacks, Fleet Footwork could be good.

Comet also synergizes with him buying Iceborn Gauntlet so that one is a good candidate.

Predator provides upfront damage so he could maybe use it to some effect.

Glacial Augment could be viable if you decide to go Hextech GLP on Ezreal but he doesn't really need that.

The other keystones either require too much ramp up time to be useful for Ezreal imo or flat out provide him no benefit.

his nerfs that were added after klepto abuse should be reverted, simple change

How many things is it now that his Q has broken? Can we stop with the on hit cheese gimick and actually make him into a real champion?

Nothing should happen. Ezreals already a safe laner with a cheap build and high burst damage.

He was fine before, way too strong with and will be fine without it again.

EDIT: For the people, who don't get how statistics, in this case Winrates, work, in relation to difficulty and playrate. Ezreal is a pretty hard Champion, with an insane play rate everywhere and absolutly dominating in asian regions

What a shocker that his WR is low, as it is supposed to for a difficult champ, with a large following.

Thing about ezreal and klepto is that if you fall behind its very difficult to come back, you cant farm anywhere if you are behind cause no gold or items you will get hunted down by even 1 of the fed enemies, you also cant farm in your base or compete with your teammates wave clear/ability to kill minions. Ap ezreal has absolutely no way to wave clear since his ult was nerfed and his aas do jack crap to minions. once behind thats it if you didnt snowball out of control in your lane an get tower plating + few kills or won early team fights you will be useless till you can actually get items. pretty much what works on me in mid plat elo as ap ezreal is to just camp the lane as the jungler, if im playing agressive with my E to all in my laner or nuke them then that opens me up to free ganks and this works constantly and it pisses me off when i get 10x ganked b2b trying to dominate my lane while my jungler eats paste in the corner and is not helping other lanes.

he will find something else to abuse no doubt

Ez is not the only champ that takes Klepto 90% of the time.

Illaoi is getting hit hard too. People say "Oh take Conqueror" but its not really good on her. Thats why we took Klepto over it. Grasp is the same.

He'll probably get some slight buffs to compensate.

Riot already stated they will be watching Ezreal after Klepto is removed and will buff him if need be
