Why Blue Ezreals?

Ezreal has a 70% attack speed passive and a 40% steroid W. You can build this: item 3078 item 3031 item 3036 item 3072 item 3508 item 3020 You don't need to build whatever the heck this wacky build is item 3042 item 3025 item 3158 item 3036 item 3139 item 3153

I can understand if you're new and think Ezreals main damage is his Q but what happened to weaving his Q between auto attacks? I'm tired of seeing Ezreals in teamfights running in circles until their Q comes back off CD so they can miss again. Also theres barely any AD in the blue build so his ult doesnt scale well. Why do it then?

The second build is for survivability .

65 armor + QSS + bork active makes kiting way easiesr.

Also ez ult has extremely high scaling, At rank 2 its 650 magic damage.

Blue ezreal is about kiting and is a slightly safer build. If you are facing a heavy Ad team or a heavy tank team you would probably want to go blue ez

Its because ezreal mains are so concerned about staying alive that they don't even auto attack the frontline. They think that just spamming q is enough and are surprised that the team's frontline dies 4 times faster than the enemy frontline.

Because it is the primary Korean build for him. The first three items on him in Korea Plat+ is item 3025 item 3004 item 3153 or item 3004 item 3025 item 3153 in over 60% of Ezreal . Ezreal is played in almost 50% of games are that elo in Korea.

As to why is because it spikes hard at the point high elo games over there are decided.

The 'wacky build' is the current pro build. When in doubt about a champion, copy builds the pros do while you learn the champ.

There's some decent information in the comments in this discussion, if I recall: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/qiVWb6R1-new-ezreal-build-try-it?

His ult is used for pushing waves with blue build most of the time. People don't use it to attack enemies unless it's that last hit.
