Blue build Ezreal

Been leveling another account (currently level 24) and playing around with different Ezreal builds.

Initially the new essence reaver looked like an amazing item, especially combined with trinity force. 40% CDR with just 2 items, yes plz! However, I found the build took a long time to ramp up (essence reaver is 3600gold & trinity force is 3800 gold)). Buy something like berserker greaves on top of that and you are looking at 8500gold for those 3 items.

So then I decided to give the old blue build a shot and actually found it a lot of fun and was having a lot of success. I think this is due a lot to the fervor of battle keystone. Fervor seems to really make Ezreal a lane bully early on, and the early tear really lets you do some serious poke with your Q. Manamune is also on 2500gold, cdr boots 800 gold, iceborn gauntlets are 2600. 3 items for 5900 gold (much quicker than the previous builds 3 items), and then you can add one of the new last whisper items (depending on who you are playing - I find the grevious wounds one to usually be the better option) for 2700 gold.

4 solid items for 8600 gold, only 100gold more expensive then the 3 items in the original build I was trying.

The build was putting out very solid damage with the nice kite advantage and was spiking really well at the 20min marker, which is when a lot of these games seem to be being decided atm.

Anyway, just thought I'd share that a non-crit build in this new crit meta seems to be having some success, and I think it's great. I always enjoyed the blue build ezreal but I found it to be a little weak in season 5. I think fervor's really revitalizes this build!

Curious to know if anyone else has been playing Ezreal and what builds they have been having success with.
