Ezreal is only getting Runeglaive for the wave clear

I don't understand why Ezreal is suddenly "OP" with this new item. All it really does is help him clear the wave faster, which is all he needed in the first place. Now he's not afk farming under his tower all day and is actually able to roam if he wants. All the other stats and bonuses (getting mana in the jungle) are just the icing on the cake. If Ezreal really needed CDR or mana there are better options. And honestly, I don't know why everyone is freaking out about this. His win rates haven't really changed that much. He still has less than a 50% win rate, so he is average at best. Now Ezreal isn't afk farming all game and is actually able to pressure other lanes/participate in teamfights. Why is this such a bad thing?

Main problem with it is he can spend half the game doing physical damage with his abilities, then he can buy runeglaive after you've built armour to turn it all into magic damage.

Well first, they nerfed Runeglaive, so it isnt useful on him anymore.

The thing is, AP ezreal always had god tier poke/burst. His damage was absolutely insane.

But he had one form of wave clear. And it was his ult. But with Runeglaive he has an AoE poking skill that could also clear waves, and it made his Q relevant outside of procing Lich Bane.

On top of all of this it smoothed out his power curve. Before he was basically nonexistent until he got 2 items. But when he got runeglaive he could actually start posing a threat, and then his next item would be a huge power spike (luden's originally, then deathcap after the first runeglaive nerf).
