This whole Tank Ezreal thing needs to be addressed.

There is absolutely no reason how an ADC should be allowed to get 3 tank items (each of which have no AD on them at all) and be destroying games. He's way too safe for the poke he can put out, and behind the right team, the man never dies. Ice born gives him kallista level kiting, while giving him a shit ton of armor and CDR.

This build has got to be nerfed somewhere.

What build are you talking about? I haven't seen what you're talking about, and I'm curious.

I had a game where Ezreal went: Manamune, Iceborn, Blood Thirster, Banshee's, Guardian's Angel, and Boots. He ended up with 27+ kills. Most damage done to our team, and was virtually unkillable. It was so far through the late game that He was able to sell his Guardian angel after the cooldown and buy Black cleaver, then sell it once the GA was off CD.

yeah that build looks like solo queue cancer. but literally anyone on earth playing any champ in the game can be strong if they've got a lot of kills and are rotating efficiently

for that build though, its pretty much just cheese. by the time your teammates realise the ez is tankier from the iceborn, hes gotten enough kills to carry and just be strong in general no matter what he builds. the problem isnt buying GA and banshees or whatever in the late game, its that the iceborn can work so well on him and it may aswell act like old vlad sustain with spell vamp + spirit visage. unless your teammates are smart enough to deal with it properly, that builds gonna easily carry him to gold/plat. actually im surprised he didnt get visage with that bloodthirster and the probably vampirism mastery, but he probably had 40% CDR already

i dont like iceborns synergy with ezreal for an ADC, but the item was already nerfed and hes not as popular in the meta so riot probably wont touch him

That build looks hilariously bad. When he had the GA, he had no armor penetration. Did you have any tanks on your team? Because he shouldn't have been able to do damage to them if they built armor. It just sounds like the Ez got insanely fed, but then it doesn't matter what build he went. If your team was only squishies, that's on you, not the build he went.

We had a malphite and a mordekaiser. I was Evelynn, but I went slight tanky, mostly assassin build. He built against me cause I went 25+ kills and was 2 shotting their top and mid, I couldn't kill him though.

Picture of OP.GG showing the game analysis

My fault I didn't have a malphite, I did have a nasus though.

Speaking about his build, He doesn't have exactly everything I said on there. He did get dominic's regard. That was part of his core past 30 minutes. He sold Manamune at some point in favor of keeping black cleaver at the end, but that wasn't until the final push.

Arcane shot: is now treated ONLY as a spell and not a spell/basic attack.

Ezreal is now fixed. Further, you could change it so low base damage high AD scaling and make it crit.
If you make it crit, ezreal will be god though.

It's a decent build and all -- but he won't mean a single thing to actual tanky champions who will take almost no damage from him when you're approaching past 30.

if ezreal can afford to build 3 tank items its because your team is too puss to pressure him much beyond whatever one-trick you have carrying you.

He'll just poke you down because he knows you don't know what you're doing

that said, its more likely that you're just full of shit and lying about the 3 tank items
