I'm not even surprised anymore with Riot's 'genius' champion changing team, so I'm not going too bother writing much. Even if they made changes, they would end up ruining everything else one way or another soon anyway.
Just want to make it clear, I'm reducing the amount I will be playing this game even more than I already have. Mainly thanks too their rampant, ignorant, short sighted decision making that has killed the game by probably 50% by themselves over this last year or two - and their longer term tendency of removing interesting build paths and options whenever a champion gets 'reworked'.
At this point, when I hear a new champion is getting reworked, my initial thoughts are, I hope it isn't a champion I play.
On PBE it shows Ezreal's W has been changed entirely. It now needs too be proc'd, and has a significantly lower AP ratio.
Normally, it has a 80% AP ratio and is an AOE skill. It was also major spell that made AP Ezreal viable.
Well, that build path is dead now. Like countless other fun things the geniuses at Riot have ignorantly killed and removed entirely when making their 'genius changes' that they probably come up with in a small tiny group without any consideration for the larger playerbase and the mains of the champions.
Whatever. You guys have killed essence reaver without offering a replacement, you guys have now killed AP ezreal without a replacement. Quinn nerfs have made her weak, and she isn't a champion you can pick every game in the first place.
There isn't a champion in the game I want too play even slightly anymore. Great work geniuses.
Keep deleting everything fun about the game.
Keep releasing totally unfun overloaded champions that are a pain in the ass too face, simply because your group of incompetents want too 'outdo' each other.
Keep cannibalizing yourselves killing the playerbase, because your tiny group thinks they know better than the whole community.
Just wait till a company works out a moba-esque Battle Royale game with decent rules. And it is coming!
This game will become dead overnight.
Can't wait !!!
Dude you are too focused on the "AP" part of Ezreal. AP Ezreal will still be viable, but what you are not looking at is hybrid or Double tear Ezreal will be absolutely disgusting. I am even thinking it would be broken strong and will have to be tuned down. with his New W he gets mana sustain, and high single target damage just thinking putting the numbers alone here lets look.
Old EZ Lvl 18 with just Lich Bane
ATTACK DAMAGE 102.5
Lich Bane - 80 AP - 75% base AD + 50% AP (76.875 + 40) 116.875 damage
OLD W rank 5 - (250 + 80% AP) (250 + 64) 314 damage
Q Rank 5 - 115 + 110% total AD + 40% AP (115 + 112.75 + 32) 259.75
Total combo - 116.875 + 314 +259.75 = 690.625
New EZ Lvl 18 with just Lich Bane
ATTACK DAMAGE 102.5
Lich Bane - 80 AP - 75% base AD + 50% AP (76.875 + 40) 116.875 damage
New W rank 5 - (255 + 60% bonus AD + 40% AP) (255 + 32) 287 damage
Q Rank 5 - 115 + 110% total AD + 40% AP (115 + 112.75 + 32) 259.75
Total combo (Q damage + Lich bane and W proc) - 116.875 + 287 +259.75 = 658.625 damage
Now looking at this with 80 AP with the Lich bane you only lose 32 Damage. What you haven't though about was how much better his lane will be. He gets a refund on mana, and now AP Ezreal scales really well with Gun blade I want you to look at this. This would Make AP ezreal able to sustain in lane no problems.
Old EZ Lvl 18 with just Gun blade
Base ATTACK DAMAGE 102.5
Gun blade + 40 AD and 80 AP
Total AD 142.5
Total AP: 80
OLD W rank 5 - (250 + 80% AP) (250 + 64) 314 damage
Q Rank 5 - 115 + 110% total AD + 40% AP (115 + 156.75 + 32) 303.75
Total combo - 314 +303.75 = 617.75
New EZ Lvl 18 with just Gun blade
Base ATTACK DAMAGE 102.5
Gun blade + 40 AD and 80 AP
Total AD 142.5
Total AP: 80
New W rank 5 - (255 + 60% bonus AD + 40% AP) (255 + 24 + 32) 311 damage
Q Rank 5 - 115 + 110% total AD + 40% AP (115 + 156.75 + 32) 303.75
Total combo - 311 + 303.75 = 614.75
That is a total loss of 3 Damage from 1 combo, and you now have passive sustain from W for mana and heal for all damage dealt.
For AP ez I would recommend
Starting either 
+
or 
or 
or 
With mana not being as much of a concern as there was no mana refunds on EZ's you can build much differently
I would go with either 
or 
(I wonder if Luden's Echo Passive procs new Ezreal W)
Full build I would think
Although This Build would probably be disgusting for AP ezreal for straight damage with the AD and AP scalings.
