So according to League Wiki his Q does the following.

Does not apply spell effects. Mystic Shot will apply on-hit effects as a ranged attack, including life steal, http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/c/c6/Sheen_item.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20130319091454 , and the reduced slow fromhttp://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/ac/Frozen_Mallet_item.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20130319090339. Mystic Shot cannot critically strike. Mystic Shot will not affect structures. Mystic Shot's damage will be mitigated if the attack is http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/6/66/Counter_Strike.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20130929122859 dodged, http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/de/Riposte.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20150721193218 parried, http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/d/d7/Aegis_Protection.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20130929123145 blocked or misses. http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/03/Banshee%27s_Veil_item.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20130319090152 Spell shields will block the damage.

So it doesn't interact with Deathfire Torch or Sorcery masteries but is blocked by "spell shields". Why not give it reduced crit damage like Ashe that scales with CDR or something along those lines.

I just think it should treated completely as an auto attack or be treated entirely as a spell instead of 60% auto attack 40% spell.

It's a spell that applies on-hit effects. What is so hard to understand about it?

Because there are several instances where ezreal's Q won't follow spell mechanics. Like luden's echo. Ezreals Q SHOULD apply it since it's a spell but since it was to strong they said "naw ezreal's q can't trigger luden's anymore." They need to revisit ezreal's Q sometime to make it more consistent than just making his Q unable to follow some spell mechanics and some on-hit mechanics.

It doesn't crit and it doesn't hit turrets because it's low CD, good base dmg, good scaling, high range, and decent projectile speed. It's a spell that procs on hit effects, much like Irelia's Q.

I don't think you TRULY want to eat crits from 1.1k range every 3-4 sec.

As somebody who plays and wins a lot with Ezreal I think its fine the way it is.

You do realize it's the same way for Fizz, Gangplank, Irelia, Miss Fortune and Yasuo right?
