Ezreal, balanced? you decide.

Ezreal as you probably know, is one of the highest tier marksmen right now. I bet you're wondering why (if for some reason you don't know.) Let's a moment and evaluate his kit shall we? Ezreal has 3 skill-shots, and a built in mach-flash. Both skill shots scale well with AP, (considering the base damage, and CD) and mystic shot scales with both ad and AP. Now, that sounds balanced, and for how squishy he is, I would tend to agree. However, one thing he has, I just can't accept. Mystic shot applies on hit effects. Why? Well we don't know. Ezreal has one of the few skill shots that applies on-hit effects. If we compared that concept to say..... urgot. Well that would be over powered as hell. Imagine if acid hunter applied on hit? Well that would be crazy, urgot dps would shoot through the roof, and no one could beat him. (cough cough) I think Ezreal needs to have this feature re-evaluated. It doesn't make sense, he already has a very long ranged, and safe kit. It's like if undertow set off shiv, or piercing light, or boomerang blade. I'm trying not to rage, but I seriously think this needs to be looked at. Due to recent updates, I think this needs to be changed to promote a healthy all around Ezreal.

Kalista needs no nerf. Her winrate is pretty unimpressive, as is her damage late compared to Jinx, Vayne etc.

I don't know what you're seeing, but Ezreal is weak sauce. Ezreal's steroid is really slow to ramp up, his passive attack speed scaling is bad, and the minimum damage on his ultimate is super low, while simultaneously being super easy to bring down to minimum. Honestly, Ezreal is one of the WEAKEST marksman right now, not the strongest. He isn't a particularly good AP carry either.

So bro, if this is the case.... Then why is his pick rate so high in diamond+? Also, if he sucked then why was he played in 6 different games in the 2014 championship.

Well I checked lolking, and he's not in the top 15 picked champions. The two ADCs on there are Lucian at #2, Vayne at #4, Jinx at #5, Graves at #6, and lastly Kalista at #13. So not only isn't his pick rate in the top 15, he isn't even in the top 5 ADCs played. I kept digging, and not only is Ezreal not even being picked that often, when he is, he's at a sub 50% win rate for EVERY matchup, including Jinx, who he's supposed to hard counter. Of course if you list your sources besides your ass, maybe I'll humor your argument.

OP just got owned so fucking hard that he needs to uninstall the game.

Homework does wonders.

Ezreal isn't OP, he's just irritating. One of those champs that is fun to play for those who main him, but those who main him try too hard to make him good and end up feeding because he's just flat outclassed until and unless he can use his mobility to not die.

Urgot's Acid Hunter has a lower cooldown than Ezreal's Mystic Shot, and it can become a targeted spell. Of course it would fucking break Urgot. That's like saying the old Skirmisher's Sabre broke Warwick.
