Ezreal is so strong right now and it's kind of disgusting

Out of many ban worthy champions, Ezreal has got to be among the scariest champion to see on the enemy team. I'm talking about tahm kench, hecarim and vayne level. Because one way or another if they happens to get even the smallest lead, the game is basically over. Let's talk ezreal for a second.

He as an adc has an incredible amount of upfront damage along with burst depending on his build. Oftenly, it's item 3043 item 3025 for the early to mid game and that's already quite a power spike for him. Both are quite cheap and item 3025 alone offers both damage and defense, comparing to other crit items for auto attack based adcs which cost more and offers only damage with no utility. He synergizes so well with item 3025 that he actually maximizes everything the item has to offers.

Furthermore, his kit is so forgiving that it doesn't matter if he doesn't land all of his skillshot, eventually he will land 1 or 2 in the late game that deals enough damage to take anyone out of commision. The W Q combo alone packed a huge punch that looks bonkers even by mages standard. The hitbox is large enough that messing up take more effort than trying to land them.

I dislike seeing him, but having an ezreal on the team feels always reassuring. Basically, the game is decided at champ select, which goes for many league games nowaday. A whole roster of S tier champions and not enough bans to go around. They are not ban worthy because of how they function, but because of their stats, and to be honest it makes the game stale and uninteresting seeing the same 5 champs over and over. Oh also Naut is kind of broken also.

I actually hate having Ezreal players on my team cause for whatever reason they ALWAYS play like they were autofilled (even those that main ezreal).

I'm a very aggressive support player so having to deal with passive af ezreal makes me want to pretend I'm autofilled, cause even If i set up plays the ezreal is more likely not going to take advantage and be aggro when he should be.

I wish I could perma ban him but I have to perma ban Morgana instead because I hate black shield.

Ezreal is fucking hard to play against good players. He is one of the few adcs that you can completely deny by simply dodging. He is also really easy to punish in lane because let's face it Tear +sheen is hella weak compared to Boots pickaxe. As long as your team is not a bunch of dumdums that run face first on to his Qs.

And his winrate speaks of it, He is at 47,5% winrate in plat+ and only falls the higher elo you check. (and he doesn't have more than 49% at any elo)

Ezreal gets destroyed by everything in lane.

He is win more champion. Only ever useful when he is ahead.

I wish the Ezreals I've seen at my elo were worth nerfing lol...but getting hit by a W>Q is always nasty

Then explain to me why every Ezreal I see in SoloQ feeds? I never want one on my team. I hate seeing him in my bot lane. I love seeing them on the enemy team. Means free kills.

lol wut? I'm very much the opposite. I hate playing with ezreals. He's so weak, and feels really underwhelming even with the mentioned items. I hope you can explain to me why his kit is so strong, or why the ezreal players I've played with are so poor...

Also, why does Ezreal go for item 3158 instead of item 3020 ? Obviously, most Ezreal players run ad, but his w, e and r all deal ap, and his w really does deal considerable ap, even if his e and r both deal seemingly insignificant damage all game long
