It's still early so maybe a few of you haven't had the luxury of an Ezreal in your game yet but even if you can only speculate, how do you feel this latest match impacted Ezreal's overall effectiveness?

Not sure. I just ADCs by how easy is it for them to kill cannons with just a doran's blade. If it is more difficult than avg for an adc, don't play that adc.

He seems to be fine, but I just dislike that he was heavily nerfed due to Clepto, which leads to him being unplayable without it. He was one my second most played adc, now is the 4th and he will go even more down because I don't enjoy anymore playing him.

As a lower ELO player, after all the nerfs (because of klepto being too strong) I generally dont want an ezreal on my team and am happy to see him on the enemy team (as long as my botlane doesn't feed him to a ridiculous extent). Especially in low elo, ezreal is strong midgame (muramana + triforce/iceborn) but in low elo teams are much worse at closing out games in the midgame. And if the game gets to lategame ezreal's damage falloff is SEVERE compared to traditional crit adcs.

Low elo, unless the whole squad feeds its much more possible to stall out a game even with the buffs to baron, and if that stall happens ezreal becomes a buffed up cannon minion. Back before the ezreal/klepto nerfs he was way to strong and had a much easier time snowballing games w/ huge early gold leads, but as it is now unless you are a really good ezreal AND have a team that knows how to push an advantage picking ezreal is a liability IMO. Maybe high gold and above this isn't as big of a deal because players know how to capitalize on a lead better but low elo IMO having ez on your team is overall a liability.
