I hate ezreal so much.

option paralysis··58 votes·17,181 views

Either he's useless or he's popping off. No inbetween. And his playstyle is so aggravating. Q then run back to tower, Q then run back to tower, Q then run back to tower, Q then run back to tower. Amazing stuff. Also, getting poked by this item 3025 item 3047 item 3042 makes me puke. Engage on him he E's away like a lil' bitch and Q's over and over and over again. Don't know what's worse, getting killed by 600 dmg crits or play against this little asshole.

Why would I use klepto ever over arcane comet ? Take Mana flow band which increases your max Mana now soooo if you want to do less damage be my guest

SithesisLord1 votes

Because of all the free gold Klepto gives?

It doesn´t matter if you´re dealing a little bit less damage if you can reach your powerspikes earlier.

KlydeFrog1 votes

Umm doing more damage means killing C's sooner and killing champs faster

SithesisLord1 votes

And reaching powerspikes faster accomplishes the same thing.

Thing with Ezreal is, comparing Sorcery primary to Inspiration primary, Inspiration primary is just outright better.

As is Kleptomancy and well, basically all the Inspiration keystones, compared to Comet.

Klepto is weird too. It always seems that when I play ezreal, I either get one bag of gold in 40 minutes, or 20 bags of gold in 5 minutes. No in-between.

Ezreal isn't too horrid to play against. You can dodge his damage at least, unlike Caitlyn who has long range unavoidable point and click auto attacks. If he uses his mobility to go in he cannot get out since it's on a long CD, unlike Lucian. He only has CC when he builds for it and it's just a slow. If anything I hate having them on my team because they always try to rush triforce and feed. But if he has a IBG he's not entirely useless, which I really like.

Honestly he seems like a better Corki

Of course you can but trying to sidestep a Q every 2s is horrible experience. Same thing about Ziggs.

unlike Caitlyn who has long range unavoidable point and click auto attacks.

Jinx and Tristana out range her. Twitch too, and Kog :S.

If he uses his mobility to go in he cannot get out since it's on a long CD, unlike Lucian.

How is this a valid statement. Seriously, Do you even know what you're talking about? Ezreals E cd gets reduced when he lands Q same as Lucians E gets reduced when he procs his passive.

Supreme Senpai693 votes

You can stand behind minions though and he can't hurt ya with it. Cait can AA you through minions. And yes, Cait does it for free but many other ADCs can get to that insane range with unavoidable damage. Ezreal's E gets reduced by Q but you use Q to poke and E to all in. When he lands Q the E is already up. If he goes in, the E won't be up in time even with the few Q procs.

Plus that's assuming you even land the Qs. Lucian just needs to land AAs to reduce his E. His E is an AA reset so it's even easier. Plus it costs no mana.

There's a reason one of the golden rules of league is "Never E in" as Ezreal. Right up there with "Don't chase Singed."

My Waifu Vanilla3 votes

It honestly isn't that easy to re-engage on Ezreal if he E's in. He isn't going to E in if he knows he isn't getting out. He is going to do it in 1v1's where he has vision OR if his team is literally standing behind him. At level 13 his E has a 7.15 second cooldown which gets reduced by 1.5 seconds per Q meaning if he shoots you twice with Q he's back out. It's annoying to play against.

Also, if you aren't going to land the Q's you shouldn't be playing Ezreal. End of story.

Another thing is regarding caitlyn if you don't have bush control you are never going to come out ahead mindlessly poking with autos in lane since every auto attack you shoot at them draws creep aggro and shoves the lane in as well (which you should be doing as Cait anyway, but taking 3 caster autos+the enemy melees running around like idiots trying to auto attack you is not how you want to push). If Ezreal Qs you he doesn't draw creep aggro meaning he generally takes 0 damage in return if he is out of your auto range whereas Cait will almost always take 3 caster minions shots unless she can always immediately step into the bush.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe for the bronze Ezreals but good ones actually E in to avoid skill shots because they know they'll win the trade

Ex) E'ing into Cait when she is going to E+Q

I would call you a Hyopcrite cause you main a Marksman, but you main Kindred, which is kinda one of the last balanced ADC's out there, i also like playing her, so nice job on that

rtbf2256182412 votes

Kindred's design is highly mechanically intensive aswell so there's no real comparison to be made here. I've fought Adcs with Kindred and they shred my health due to Kindred's low max hp while just standing still and doing nothing in particular.

KlydeFrog1 votes

Well laning with kindred is different. Get a cc supp or a poke one either or works and poke with your aoe wolf

rtbf2256182412 votes

That sounds like a terrible idea as she would lose literally every trade with her low as hell max hp. Wolf would also just push the lane unnecessarily.

I find Ezreal one of the easiest adcs to play against and I'm glad that most of his dmg is on skillshots

Disembark3 votes

Cause most people who play Ezreal are autofilled. A good Ezreal will be the bane of your existance. They play hyper aggressive because they know they have E + (probably flash) to get out of any sticky situation, and they keep fishing for Qs super aggressively.

Also depends on who you play as. A lot of champs will have a really good time in lane against him.

saltran1 votes

I played a lot of Ezreal last season and he was my second most played champ at that moment, I know what a good ("good" for Silvee-Gold elo) Ezreal can do and I still rather face him than other adcs any day.

The one kills you in three auto attacks the other kills you in 6 but permaslows you and you never get to him. What is worse as an melee?

If the Boards are any indication then God hath forbid any ADC be unique. They must all be sacrificed to the altar of "anti-fun" and be forced to build the same so they can be homogeneously balanced.

Blåbæret4 votes

Ezreal is an inherently toxic design: built-in flash and spammable poke damage. No one likes playing against a champ who's impossible to punish.

FutureCreator3 votes

item 3025 Say it with me - "Melee only". Come on it's not that hard - "Melee only" "Melee only" "Melee only" "Melee only"!

Teridax683 votes

I think Ezreal is a good example of why items as a general customization system don't quite work out in the end. On his own, Ezreal pushes the limits to counterplay due to his range and mobility, but remains somewhat manageable when he's squishy, devoid of CC and mana-hungry, and his E is his only escape. The moment he gets pretty much any item, however, especially stuff like Tabi, Gauntlet, Muramana, and the like, he becomes too safe, and altogether irritating. When you look at the things Ezreal shouldn't have, namely CC, durability, sustain, etc., the list ends up covering so many items that it's very difficult for Ezreal to not be unhealthy when he buys items. There are plenty of other champions who break when they itemize a certain way, but Ezreal stands out in just how easily he abuses items, and becomes much less healthy as a result.

TekkenPlayer2 votes

I hate having ezreals with and against me

with theyll never auto and try to mitigate aggression at all costs against theyll either play like a complete bitch and have an egirl mule to shield him randomly. Or else he just goes in stupidly or try to get random cheeky Qs even when the fight is over like 3 minutes after

SpecterVonBaren2 votes

I'm surprised because I was just thinking the same thing. In spite of his kit being among the oldest in the game, is it actually a healthy kit? He abuses tons of items and gets them gutted for it quite often, is, as you said, either a complete monster in a game since if he gets ahead he can just spam Q's from a distance to damage people without them being able to do anything about it, or he's useless and does chip damage while the rest of his team can't compete with the enemy team since he's doing no damage.

He might actually be a champ that's in need of a rework as much as more obvious ones like Aatrox.

Snowman Arc1 votes

The thing I hate the most about Ezreal is the people who play him. They are either challenger smurfs (mostly on the enemy team) who know all his tricks (great accuracy on Q, weaving AAs inbetween, good reaction time on E etc), or they are complete idiots (usually on my team), who only spam Q, never AA, and E backwards the moment someone comes in their AA range.

Faliandra1 votes

same experience...my Ezreals are all so bad, I simply hate him cos I know the chance of him being good is about 1%.

Ezreal, Caitlyn, Kalista and Ashe....those are usually the adc picks for people who dont know wtf theyre doing at all. In MY experience.
