Then why does it have a higher win rate across the board than ADC Ez?

Because he gets interrupted less in the jungle and just like him, most jg mobs don't have anything to offer but damage either. His lane is weak because he has one whole ability for good trades and otherwise just gets minion blocked to oblivion while he decides if he's man enough to trade with literally any of the females he'll face in lane, all of whom are probably capable of a better trade.

I was counting him mid. Ezreal's always felt a bit outclassed on bot to me. There are far more reliable ADCs, while his harass is going to feel far more pronounced without having to spread the damage.

I'm pretty sure Draven would indeed mulch him, though.

Less people play it and are better at playing it.

Doesn't change the fact that ez should not be able to jungle

And I agree, doesn't mean that it isn't a thing at the moment.

This OP is honestly not ready for conversing this topic, just mute downvotes anything that is not "Yeah you are totally right"

Having said that, Ezreal became capable in the jungle because of the buffs his Q Skill got.

Reduced base cooldowns at lower Levels

Increased total ad ration from 1.1 to 1.25

Those two changes made him so prominent to jungling. Because his clear massively increased.

As for ganking, you don't know how terrifying ezreal's arcane shift is from unwarded spots, then having a near-impossible to miss full combo because of how fast he can fire those, combining with an AA for his full combo tradings.

Not to mention his comparably precise global ults. Only champion with a global ult that has a wider AoE damage and hitbox than Ez is jinx.

Take all These Things together and you have a semi decent new rate jungler.

Like it or not, but ez became capable. Just like graves did with his E reloading a shot for his pumpgun

Can't forget since his Q is counted as an Auto attack and not a spell his sheen procs are extremely scary. Ezreal has always been a good champion, but sadly all other ADC's out class him in damage. I think only cait and trist and maybe jinx rocket out range him. (Talking about the Q range since it has such a low CD for farming) Sadly even with these buffs other ADC's will out scale him.

Which is exactly why he is played jungle more and more. he can transcend into mid-game without being outlaned by anybody. The buffs he got made his earlygame stronger without buffing his lategame (Honestly ezreal never gets more than 300 AD unless you Build some full lethality stuff) meaning yeah he does get outscaled on the long run, but at least no more on the earlygame.

Jungle ez is....if i have to be honest...more of an meta cheese than a meta pick

He doesnt need to rush manamura in the JG and if he gets Steraks, warrior enchant, triforce his Q can two shot if you havent built any resists. His damage is no joke but theyre right about his lack of utility. He works best if the support is an off tank and top has a tank/cc too. His ganks botlane basically become 2 ADCs and a support vs one ADC and a support. as long as theyre in range to do damage, theyre gonna win the trade

Eternal TormentSep 12, 20171 votes

Exactly. Him being jungle isn't as much of his own viability but more like what he can offer his team from there.

Ezreal adc became shadowed by his jungling because of how much more jungle can offer him, it always was like this but ezreal's clears were so incoherently bad that he was unviable as a jungler champion. But as a jungler choice he was always there. Just now with reduced cooldowns and increased total ad ratios hes finally able to clear properly

Using his E to hop walls and get to camps faster is also a bonus. Being able to wall hop is extremely vbaluable in the JG role for ganking/escaping/counter jungling. He doesnt need IBG for safety and trinity offers a lot more damage on champs and faster clears. Steraks gives him survive ability in health and mroe base damage on his Q. Between warriors and trinity he has 30CDR. Ive seen a pretty hilarious ezreal ulti from right over the other side of a wall to initiate a fight and that ulti chunks hard on the first enemy it hits.

Eternal TormentSep 12, 20171 votes

again i agree.

by theory every champion can jungle. it's just most have something that disables such. High cooldowns, obnoxious waveclear, sustain that scales with AoE (Take renekton. can't even kill gromp) and so on.

ezreal had cooldowns and too low damage to clear, riot removed both, so now he's wandering into the jungle

Ranged junglers are super scary, always have been and always will be. Somebody going in and hunting you down with a Red buff means certain death half the time. Other junglers are slow and have to hit a CC or whatever, he can just kill you.

Unfortunately, Ezreal jungle is a thing, and it will be nerfed.

The amount of pressure he can put on an enemy jungler is literally the best in the game. He has the single fastest level 3 of any jungler in the entire game. He can invade you with double buff at level 3 while you are level 2 and your mid is level 1-2. He will force you to recall unless you want to die and/or steal your 2nd buff. If you have any idea how jungle works, you know that this puts you miles behind, as you can't even purchase a second component to your smite item or even boots. You literally just have to buy nothing or a red ward and go back to jungle, he gets priority and can choose to either steal camps or gank with his level advantage over you and your solo lanes.

This is why Ezreal jungle is a thing. Jungling isn't all about ganking. Why does it matter if your ganks are worse than other junglers if the enemy team doesn't have a jungler?

EDIT: Just to clarify, he can hit level 3 in a little over 2 minutes.
