Ezreal's Current State and the Nerfs on 8.2 PBE Cycle

Hi, I'm an Ezreal main who is concerned about the viability of the champion if the nerfs on PBE go through. (If you are unaware it's a nerf to Mystic Shot - 20 base damage off at all levels) Ezreal's been on the strong side this preseason (like most preseasons lol) and too strong even in patches 7.22 and 7.23, but there are a couple of reasons for that and I believe that he's currently in a balanced state and would like a revert of the either patch 7.24b attack speed nerf, or a revert of the nerf on PBE and here are my reasons:

1. Ezreal was blatantly overtuned since 7.17, and we can see that from the impact Jungle Ezreal caused, and it was kinda predictable when botlane meta shifted, Ezreal would become strong again. Thankfully Riot realised how stupid that buff was in the first place and reverted it.
2. Inspiration + Sorcery giving 16 AD pre-game, coupled with Ezreal's at the time 125% AD ratio Q, plus some other factors like Scorch gave Ezreal so much power. Landing 1 Q at level 1 was more than a quarter of an ADC's HP and this allowed Ezreal to bully people into oblivion. These factors have all been nerfed.
3. Kleptomancy is a strong keystone that Ezreal can abuse, like how Ezreal "abuses" Spellblade items. I don't believe Kleptomancy requires any nerfs, just stating that Ezreal is the only ADC that can abuse it properly, thus giving him some advantages over other ADC's.
4. If PBE nerfs pass and make it to live servers, Ezreal won't have any strengths, he's right now the strongest early-mid game ADC but also the weakest ADC past 40 minutes. (even worse than Lucian - probably due to the attack speed nerf, seriously, I've canceled at least 50 autos this patch because it's so clunky to play) If the nerfs hit live, Ezreal would be nothing more than a slight midgame spike and just a weight that other teammates need to carry in order to win.
5. Another strength of Ezreal was that there was no other ADC strong enough to punish his weaknesses, Sivir is mostly a dead champion right now who fares well against Ezreal due to Sivir endlessly pushing the wave and Ezreal having not enough waveclear to push it back. Caitlyn and Lucian have took the nerf bat harder than Ezreal did and cannot punish his early game where he has to buy Tear. Now that these champs are gone, Ezreal can safely farm (and sometimes bully and kill the enemy botlane - we're kinda back to the Ardent meta with this Relic Shield + Overheal builds popping up, strong ADC's right now all have weaker early games e.g. Vayne, Twitch, Kog'maw) to his Muramana + Triforce spike and take over the game by himself.

Ezreal is mostly strong right now because of the fact that there is just one strategy to counter him, which is to outscale him. AND that strategy works, Ezreal is right now the 5th ADC according to op.gg, surpassed by only Vayne, Twitch, Kog'maw and Xayah. These champions can avoid being bullied, using the Relic Shield strat and abuse Ezreal's horrendous late game. So, please consider again before nerfing Ezreal, so that he doesn't become the next Lucian, Caitlyn, Varus or Jhin.

Also this nerf impacts Jungle Ezreal and AP Ezreal a lot more than AD Ezreal, clearing with Jungle Ezreal is going to be much slower and AP Ezreal's waveclear just becomes worse, although I'm not sure if Riot thinks about that when balancing Ezreal. Still feel like this deserves a mention though.

EDIT: That screenshot is taking up most of the page and I couldn't remove it, sorry. Didn't realise it would've looked this huge lol

And my God please give us Ezreal mains our attack speed back - autoing with Mordekaiser is easier than this shit aaaaaahhh
