Ezreal is garbage

Can we PLEASE buff Ezreal? He's at less than a 48% win rate and really needs help. You could argue that his high playrate has brough down his winrate, but Miss Fortune is played just as much and has a 55% win rate, so I don't buy that. Almost every adc in this game is doing better than him atm (with the exception of Kalista). Please don't tell me to "git gud". Ezreal is literally TRASH. No reason so play him whatsoever.

I'm not sure why he's doing so bad, but I'm guessing that lethality has something to do with it. Lethality makes it very easy to kill squishy targets, and Ezreal is the squishiest adc in the game. But there's also his stupidly high mana costs, long cooldowns, long channel time on his ult, garbage waveclear, etc. http://champion.gg/statistics/#?sortBy=general.winPercent&order=descend

He's just like Ahri. He doesn't excel at anything, but is good at everything. However, I agree, he does need some buffs, especially when something like Ahri is running around.

Ezreal had about a 50% win rate before Lethality got out of hand. It went down as other ADC win rates went up. The statistics haven't adjusted to the new patch. Give it time.

It honestly doesn't matter how much they nerf lethality. The fact is Ezreal is way too squishy and it's too easy to abuse that.

He's solid to play (if your mechanics with him are decent) if your team is even or ahead. But nearly completely useless if the team is behind.

Ezreal's true winrate is probably higher just because a lot of players don't auto-attack with him (he's actually surprisingly effective if you play him as an auto-attacker with Qs here and there as opposed to a mere Q spammer)
