Can We Not Play Ezreal

Kewlipo·Nov 28, 2016·1 votes·497 views

I don't know why, but every single Ezreal I have played with has not done any damage.

There are so many better ADCs and mid lanes out there.

Think ... all of these do far more damage than Ezreal and are safer picks.

I am making this post because every Ezreal I have had has fed, and done no damage. Note that I say every not in an incorrect manner; literally, every Ezreal has lost me the game.

I am now banning this god foresaken champion because I don't want my team to play him.

And please stop playing him mid, when you'll get assassinated by the new assassins or a far more powerful, CC loaded mage...

He's just not viable right now and needs to stop losing me LP.

As far as safety goes. Ezreal is the safest adc. With iceborn gauntlet he has a guaranteed slow. He has flash. And then his e itself is basically a flash on a 20 second cooldown. His lit itself doesn't have any steroids in it other than his passive and his w(which doesn't really. Matter). His base damage is deceptively high. But most of his damage come from items because his w applies on hit effects. Ez real does insane damage and is the safest adc in the game. It's just a simple matter of know knowing how to play him. Which assuming from you're post that none of the one star you hand in your games knew how to.

Ez is safer than Caitlyn tbh. All she has to get away is her E, her W will root enemies yes, but it is very visible.

The problem with ezreal is that while he is "safe" he doesn't exactly bring any cc to help burn sums botlane (making him a bit passive as well). Cait not only brings longer range and traps, but also isn't forced into buying a low-AD item (tear) and thus is safer in the sense that she can play both offensive and defensive early game.

first its his Q not his W second he is not an adc he is a burst mage assassin without cc he has more ap scaling than ad and i never got why people play him as an adc even bot lane he is better built hybrid with a gunblade lichbane than a reg adc ezreal does a fuck ton of damage after gunblade you can 100-0 any squishy you want anytime you get within flash E range of them.

Q: ACTIVE: Ezreal fires a bolt of energy in a line, dealing physical damage to the first enemy hit, and applying on-hit effects. If Mystic Shot successfully hits an enemy, all of Ezreal's ability cooldowns are refreshed by 1.5 seconds.

W:ACTIVE: Ezreal fires a wave of energy in a line, dealing magic damage to enemy champions struck, and granting all allied champions struck bonus attack speed for 5 seconds. If the circumstances permit, Ezreal can boost himself with Essence Flux.

That's straight from the wiki. Q grants lower cooldowns but W can give AS(circumstantially) increased CDR is not a steroid.

primary Role: marksman Secondary role:mage

Q scaling:PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 35 / 55 / 75 / 95 / 115 (+ 110% AD) (+ 40% AP) W:MAGIC DAMAGE: 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 (+ 80% AP) BONUS ATTACK SPEED: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% E:MAGIC DAMAGE: 75 / 125 / 175 / 225 / 275 (+ 50% bonus AD) (+ 75% AP) R:「 MAGIC DAMAGE: 350 / 500 / 650 (+ 100% bonus AD) (+ 90% AP) 」

His passive increases his attack speed, which is completely useless on a mage UNLESS you buy Lichbane and gunblade. His Q and R scale harder with AD than AP, and that's what matters. Q Applying on hit effects also makes AD ez better since AD items have more on hit options. People play him as an ADC because he is safe as fuck and does insane damage late game with Q.

No. No Bot lane Ezreal should build gunblade, that's an item slot that could be better spent. He doesn't build like a normal ADC though, you are right, that's why blue build Ezreal exists.

Ezreal does a fuckton of damage with a first item regardless of whether its gunblade or something else.

lichbane and gunblade are both core on ap ezreal to. gunblade gives him extra burst + sustain aswell as hybrid damage for his hybrid scaling while lichbane gives his Q hybrid damage an provides ap + a sheen item. infact gunbalde+lichbane are my 2 rush items. morello only gives ap and mana which you dont need an cdr can be made up in runes + blue buff. lvl 9 ezreal with gunblade is you better not even come within E range lol.

I know he does damage when built AP. But The majority of all league players play him as a bot lane ADC.

Ezreal works in certain situations. Against teams who lack engages and who have a lot of assassins he's a pretty good choice. In my experience the whole blue build Ezreal has trouble dealing with tanks even if you do get BTRK.
