Ezreal W Idea

Hello, I just thought I share my idea on "fixing" Ezreal.

So, Ezreals identity, to me at least, has always been a duel-identity of a long-range poke ADC (his Q) and a very safe ADC (his E). His w is, of course, a mostly useless ability, as we can't really decide if it's better to deal a tiny amount of damage with it or to increase the attack speed of our allies. Just not an effective ability on ADC Ezreal.

So my idea was to change his W completely (Riot is already looking into that, I believe), and to solidify one of his identities a bit more.

Personally, I want Ezreal to go back to being THE "safe" ADC, with his E and long range poke. However, Vayne and Lucian both have so much mobility (and Vayne has super effective self-peel with invisibility and condemn) that other ADC's are arguably safer.

My idea for a new W was an ability that charged up, maybe over 1 second or more, and then released a cone of energy that deals a little damage but shoves enemies to the edge of the cone. This won't increase Ezreal's damage that much, which some think is his problem, but it will make him super safe because he would be able to self-peel very effectively.

The charge on the ability also allows him to combo it with his E, if he wants to knock enemies around he can charge his W and then blink towards them.

So, for example, he would be terrible with a Janna support because they would lack so much damage, but he would be great with roaming supports (keeping himself safe while the support roams a ton) or with mage supports like Brand or Zyra, because their abundance of damage would make up for his.

Also, make his ult deal bonus damage to minions like Lucian's does, Ezreal literally has some of the worst wave clear of any ADC I've played even when using his ult just on minions. Vayne might have worse but static shiv fixes that, Ezreal doesn't really build any wave clear items.

What are your thoughts?
