Runeglaive Ezreal was broken. AP Ezreal is underwhelming as fuck.

How to solve this? Easy.

Mystic Shot - Now deals magic damage upon having more Ability Power than Bonus AD.

No, he won't be broken since:

  • Runeglaive Ezreal lost the AoE on minions.

  • Smite has a 75 seconds cooldown per charges, with 15 seconds in between cast, so he won't abuse the purple smite.

  • He's a fucking mid laner taking smite, come on now.

  • Still has mana problems.

Boom.

Ap Ez does a fuckload of damage post 20 mins, he scales really well, is relatively safe, amazing poke obviously. Im assuming you've switched out runeglaive for lichbane, which is what ezreal should build now instead mid, his problem is that right now many mid champions have very easy wave clear, ezreal is stuck auto'ing and q'ing creeps to death unless he wants to blow his ult. All this time ezreal spends pushing waves gives his opponents time to roam, otherwise in a damage sense, he deals a ton of damage.

You mean, post 40 minutes if the enemy laner has a brain.

How can the enemy mid laner prevent you from csing? you have the safest csing tool in the game, your Q. Ezreal has to not have a brian if he isnt relevant at 20 minutes lol, basically get to free farm and become a damage powerhouse.

Yes, let's make Ez easier to stack MR against. That'll help him.

Ap ezreal does not have damage issues nor does he need his mystic shot changed (having an ability that deals physical damage that scales off of ap is pretty good). The problem is that he has no wave clear (ad or ap). I think they should give his mystic shot a passive ability so that if he kills an enemy or neutral monster with his Q then his next auto attack deals aoe damage that scales with ap and gains damage as you level up your Q. It doesn't eed to be a lot of damage and could have a cooldown longer than the cooldown of his Q.

No, it doesn't. You see, champions have a lot more Armor and MR late game, so this only change will make him better at building MRPen than before. No, it won't be broken since he used to have much more magic damage before and he wasn't considered broken.

No. He does not need innate wave-clear, that's the main reason why he was broken as fuck. That's supposed to be his weakness.

If you think AP Ez doesn't do any damage, you're doing it wrong.

I'm not talking about damage here.

Having damage is cool, but if you have no wave-clear, then enemy team can just push against you and you'll be stuck farming while your laner roams and gets kills.

But if we give AP Ezreal wave-clear, then we'll get an even more broken Runeglaive Ezreal back, and no, we don't want to see an even more Runeglaive Ezreal back.

So instead of suppressing his weaknesses, let's emphasis his strengths, which is damage here.
