As I Respawn: Ezreal is Broken (In This Meta)

Never much cared about Ezreal. Yeah, he had the "newbie champ" mechanics (in other words, it's easy to dominate with him because he was designed to help new players get comfortable with the game), but as long as you outplayed him, you were fine. In this meta, though? I'm playing Illaoi. I'm sitting on a full build:

so easy win right? No way he can outpace that.

No. No, he did it pretty quickly.

While Exhausted.

Granted, being able to mini-flash out of my Q helps tremendously, but I was still hitting him. I was dropping W's and autos on him that were putting out really good damage.

And he killed me 1v1 while Exhausted, because his damage was that much better than mine.

Riot, seriously. What are you doing over there? Fix the damage. Fix it.

Ezreal isn’t a noob easy champ. 3 out of 4 of his moves are skill shots. Yes they are on lower CD but none the less skill shots. He is a very safe champ because of his range and escape, I don’t deny that. But if you can’t hit anything you can’t hit anything. He doesn’t build the attackspeed or crit items others adc’s do to benefit right clicking the majority of the time.

As far as skillshot champs go, though, he's the easiest to master. Short cooldowns and generous hitboxes, not to mention the long range. Skillful Ezreal plays do happen, but rarely; usually it's just poke the enemy to death and mini-flash away as soon as they try to fight back.

first off what is actually going on with your build? jokes aside your a kite-able champion fighting a very fed ezreal (the most kite heavy adc in the game) and you dont have flash, exhaust has a small duration as its main use is to negate burst. and calling ezreal a noob champ is just flat out wrong and kinda funny coming from someone playing illaoi
