Super tl;dr (click for graph): Tear into Duskblade > Tear into Triforce

Hey there. I have theory crafted and metamanced a new build for Ezreal, in which instead of going Tear into Triforce, you go Tear into Duskblade (since his Q procs on hit effects and Duskblade is an on hit effect). I've had tons success with this build, and it deals ridiculous damage. If you're skeptical (and you should be), below is the math. For simplification, I ignore the lethality of Duskblade and its components, simply power spikes to one level of component items, and assume a constant 384 gold per minute and 455.5 xp per minute (got both from google search).

Item Powerspikes for Triforce Build:

  • Tear: 1.95min

  • Phage: 5.21min

  • Sheen: 7.94min

  • Stinger: 10.81min

  • Triforce: 11.67min

Item Powerspikes for Duskblade Build:

  • Tear: 1.95min

  • Dirk: 4.82min

  • Warhammer: 7.68min

  • Duskblade: 9.50min

Duskblade doesn't only do more damage, has a MUCH better build path which allows you to stomp VERY HARD early and snowball off of that. I find that because of this snowball, you can actually get Triforce after Duskblade and at that point it's basically over for the enemy team.

This isn't really new. It's been highlighted by streamers for a couple weeks now.

Tear is bad.

Duskblade is obviously amazing on Ez. Anyone who needs to be convinced with math/graphs isn't worth it.

I had an ezreal who rushed duskblade and boy did it replace trinity.

I did it the moment Riot reworked item 3147 first passive ( from more than 9 months i guess ) in ARAM and Modes ( i dont play Stupidity Rift ) ... and it was the reason i made a couple old posts on how Ezreal Q should be looked at but riot then buffed it 2 times and broke it.

U people are too slow to figure things up ...
