Ezreal idea

For those of us who play AP ezreal, we know how powerful he can be, however because of his abysmal laning abilities as an AP, he rarely is used. I have an idea to make AP ezreal a slightly better laner but not push him into absurd levels of early power. I do this, keeping in mind that it also somewhat buffs AD ezreal so I have to be sure that AP ezreal gets the most mileage out of it.

His W:** Essence Flux:** 70/115/160/205/250 to 50/95/140/185/230 magic damage and (+80% AP to +85% AP ). Next Essence Flux now deals 50% of it's total damage to minions it passes through but does not grant attack speed buffs or debuffs to minions. Also, does not trigger Rising Spell Force (Our Passive) when hitting minions.

The breakdown of base damage to minions is as follows: 25/48/70/93/115. with lets say 400 AP that would be 195/218/240/263/285. so late game this could be used as a pushing tool, in addition to his other skills.

What this will do is make Essence Flux a farming tool for AP ezreal, but prevent it from making Ezreal farm like mad early game because of it's base values; you still have to last hit, it just is made easier now. This also makes it risky to get early for AD ezreal and he doesn't get any benefit from it unless he gets alot of AP.

Riot has already stated multiple times they don't want to allow W to act as wave clear because it would encourage people to play AP ezreal (something they don't want happening)

They've left it in there for those who enjoy it but the official stance last time it was brought up was that giving it anything besides damage is not something they ever want to do.

Source for that? Idk why they would be so opposed to Ezreal's AP build....

What do they have against AP Ezreal? ADC Ezreal rarely gets picked because honestly he kinda stinks next to most ADCs. As AP ezreal you make use of all his kit, not just a pasive and two abilities.

It may be their game, but you have to keep an open mind about different champions in order for your game to continue to thrive. This change would make AP ezreal an option moreso but its not like AD ezreal will get less facetime; actually this change will bring more attention to ezreal even if Riot is unwilling to admit that AP Ezreal is not only viable but FUN (something more important than anything else). I highly doubt AD Ezreals use Essence Flux for anything other than to build passive stacks and to give allies extra attack speed.

If you do that Math, with 400 AP, this change would not change the total damage it deals at max rank, it is exactly the same.
