I mean if a champ is this ubiquitous dont you think they stand for a nerf? Are they not obviously crowding out other adcs? theres 140 champs but these 2 adcs are in every game?

while they both honestly should be nerfed fairly hard, it won't happen, riot favors adc's

ezreal and kai sa mains, they make up 40% of leagues population

ArakadiaAug 4, 20192 votes

That number sounds made up.

Well, all i know is they both consistently have 40% pick rates, so...i just kinda assumed, lol

DuskDaUmbreonAug 5, 20192 votes

Ah, the classic "only mains of this champion or people literally being paid by Riot this second can disagree with me".

Did it perhaps occur to you we downvoted because of you reciting a pointless conspiracy theory about favoritism?

well i went from -7 to +7 votes, so i mean clearly a lot of people agree their op, plus i just assume since kai sa and ezreal are the only 2 champs to consistently have a 40%+ play rate so i just assumed it was their mains since a lot of ppl prob do main them Also, the only times i see you on the fourms is to cause drama, so im gonna ignore any further posts from you

Ezreal is pretty good and a safe pick , when you pick him , you don't have to care that much if your support is a monkey Tho his late game with item 3146 is BS , he is cool and handsome and fun to play , no wonder why he's popular

on the other Hand , Kai'sa is one of the best champions in the game , she has everything an adc needs , why play Kog if you can simply pick Kai'sa? No her Early isn't horrible as people make it sound

Can confirm with item 3146 being stupid on Ezreal during the late game. Tbf though, he has mixed scalings and most of his damage is single-target, so it makes sense to buy the item on him. At least with Ezreal though, he's ridiculously hard to solo carry with unless you're a god with skillshots.

Kai'sa though, is a whole other kind of broken.

I can vouch for that as a Kai'Sa main. With lifesteal I can basically 1v5 late game(although whether I live to tell the tale is a matter of luck)

ezreal aint cool he's egotistical and annoying, fun to play, but annoying in all aspects and any who say "But what about" no hes annoying

Jhin/Cait are hella popular too.

HungryAngry2SPPAug 4, 20191 votes

Jhin is popular for this theme, 4 meme etc.

Can't say why people play Cait tho, boring ass champ in every way

3TWarriorAug 5, 20196 votes

well, not really. Her gameplay is decent, though the traps are annoying for opponents

she has two execute-capable abilities in her kit, both absurdly ranged she has the highest base defenses (or close to it) of marksmen headshot makes her damage a bit harder to predict

she has a net launcher! XD

and she's one of only two champions that have the sniper theme

With BT,IE, ER you can basically one shot squishies with trap+headshot. That's the fun in Cait.

HungryAngry2SPPAug 5, 20191 votes

Who's the other sniper champ though? --confused--

3TWarriorAug 6, 20192 votes

Jhin I don't quite get it, but it's somehow his thing and he has even more ridiculously long ranged abilities (one of his base abilities has a range of 3000 and I think his ult is 2000, but lemme check...nope, his ult is 3500

Spicy RiceAug 5, 20192 votes

Jhin has a great theme and is a well executed champ.

Cait is just picked because abusing range is so famn good.

Ezreal is the character closest in age to most of the boys playing this game and the most conventionally attractive without being a musclelord fantasy making him a popular, relatability and attractivenesswise pick.

Combined with having a simple yet solid kit with high skill expression means that he's good as both a casual and a hardcore champ.

He is on average the most played champ in the game and has been for 7 years.

Even when he's weak his playrate stays high.

Also he has a no CD escape and Flash, and a long range AA.

he has an extremely high mana long cd blink and a long range auto that can be body blocked.

DuskDaUmbreonAug 5, 20191 votes

Cool. So we're nerfing Shaco as well, since he has an actual flash with invisibility that's actually instant?

Shaco IS nerfed already. So I'm kinda fine with Shaco right now.

If it were up to me, I'd gut the fuck outta Shaco. But I'm fair.

That thing can work for the female part. Males don't care how old/cute he is unless they are gay or something.

Edit: don't you fuckin dare downvote Terozu you ugly circlejerkers

TerozuAug 4, 20194 votes

Im a straight guy, I prefer to play as younger characters who are my age. I don't wanna play a musclebound idiot, I wanna play a teenager.

A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THIS WAY.

HungryAngry2SPPAug 4, 20199 votes

You are a strange exception, and as such, should not be allowed to speak for the majority of males.

Change B.E.K. icon if you want to be taken more seriously on Ezreal discussions btw.

TerozuAug 4, 20193 votes

No, Ezreal strongly disproves that.

Believe it or not people like identifying with characters.

HungryAngry2SPPAug 5, 20195 votes

YIKES, the community is shittier than I thought.

BTW, nothing personal

DuskDaUmbreonAug 5, 20192 votes

Because people have different likes. A lot of people like playing a cooler version of themselves. If you're a white guy aged 15-25, Ezreal could easily be a cooler version of yourself. Others place high priority on design or general coolness. Others are just thirsty as fuck.

Ezreal and, to an extent, Kai'sa both have that "Ok but what if I wasn't lame and I was actually cool and did interesting things" aspect to them.

I was replying to a dude that said that people relate to the champions they play. How about Karthus? Do they relate to a dude who literally wants people to join him in death?

HungryAngry2SPPAug 6, 20191 votes

Partially yes.

It's a videogame, a fantasy world where you can be whatever you want, without causing consequences in the real world.

OlympusSwornAug 5, 20191 votes

?Why shouldnt he speak his opinion? As a 17 year old straight male, I enjoy ezreal's carefree, thrill seeking character. I think he is a fun idea, and I do identify with him a bit. You dont get to say that someone doesnt get to talk just because the disagree

HungryAngry2SPPAug 5, 20191 votes

I said he can't speak for the majority, there's a difference.

OlympusSwornAug 7, 20191 votes

Why not? How do you know what the majority thinks? And does it matter? Why do you get to speak for the majority. I doubt you were elected.
