Ezreal is hotfix worthy atm tbh.

{quoted}

ive tried everything against him and i always lose without help, the guy rekts most top laners. When he wins a 1 v 1 against me with trundle then idk anymore. He's like the new malphite winning trades with nothing but base dmg's

Don’t stand in the W then. Fight won.

In my opinion, it's his W. 20% max health damage over just 0.75 seconds and additionally 10% max health damage on AA afterwards (level 9).

This is alot and getting out of reach of his W in time isn't that easy if you don't use a dash.

He can build pure tank and still delete 1/3 of your healthbar with that skill alone. When it was current health, it wasn't as bad, since the damage decreased the longer the fight was going.

x5 on any AD champion such as: Zed, Talon, wu kong, etc. Only requirement is to take sorcery as secondary tree and take the mastery that makes your extra CDR go into dmg.

Maybe none as consistent as ez, but even without using it every 2 seconds, it gives you a good amount of stuff. That being said, that's the reason why it feels so fun to use. The problem is if you nerf the keystone, it ruins it for everyone, and if you nerf Ez, he becomes that much more reliant on this keystone to make up for whatever the nerf did to him.

I have a couple ideas, though I'm not actually sure what is causing Ez to be so prevalent when using Kleptomancy; the gold, or the consumables? The ideas here are to keep the satisfaction you get while using kleptomancy, without making it weak to the point where nobody wants to take it. Kleptomancy as far as I'm concerned is pretty decent on supports for their income, so I avoided nerfing income

Idea 1.

• Increase the rate of gold drops, but decrease the gold earned for every drop
• Decrease the rate of random consumable drops to compensate for the increase gold drops

This would keep the satisfaction you get from using this keystone in tact; it would just shift the power gained from the various potions / elixirs you get into more frequent gold drops, however the gold they grant would be toned down to match the higher frequency of drops. If gold is causing the problem on Ez, this wouldn't fix it; but I feel like the consumables are the real problem here with the amount of power they give at the frequency he can proc it.

Idea 2.

• Reduce the rate of overall drops

The problem with this idea is the fact that it hurts everyone, and is extremely unsatisfying to use at this point. The reason so many people like this keystone is because of the thrill you get when you receive a random consumable just from trading with your enemy, regardless what it ends up being.

Idea 3.

• Add an internal timer to prevent overuse

Perhaps one of the most straightforward; short, simple, and to the point. It would be exactly the same; people would still be satisfied to use it, and it wouldn't change the rate of drops for 90% of champions (since some champions (EZREAL) can proc it -really- often). It would just tone down the few champions that are abusing it.

Idea 4.

• Add a per champion cooldown to it.

This is sort of like idea 3, however it's changed to a cooldown thats sort of like Braum's passive on enemy champions, or Yasuo's dash on minions. This means that there are moments that you can still proc it multiple times in rapid succession, but it would tone down spam overall; or at the very least encourage you to change your focus to a different target if your goal is procing the keystone. I think this would feel more consistant than idea 3, since you can still proc it multiple times in a matter of a few seconds, but the change would still restrict you from procing it every 2 seconds.

Idea 5.

• Remove Ezreal's ability to proc kleptomancy fully on Q

I'm not suggesting we remove his ability to proc on hit things; just remove the interaction between his Q and kleptomancy. Let his Q count as the spellcast, but still require him to actually go in and auto attack, forcing him to risk being traded with in lieu of a chance to receive gold / consumables. Everything else would be the same. I don't believe the problem is the frequency at which he gets things, as much as it is the frequency he gets things while being completely safe. There's no risk involved in Ezreal using this keystone like their should be, which I think is a big contributing factor to why he's able to abuse kleptomancy so well.

If you've read through all of this, I applaud your patience. Let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas. I had a lot of fun formatting this :D

Ezreal has broken almost every interesting, unique addition League has received and instead of looking at the champion, it's always been the item/keystone that gets nerfed. When Runeglaive was around, Ezreal abused it horribly and had it taken away from EVERYONE. Iceborn Gauntlet received a nerf after Blue Ezreal became so overwhelmingly strong and what did Ezreal get? Nothing, other than the ability to just go back to what he was doing before. When Spirit of the Elder Lizard was around applying a Red buff effect on autoattacks.. guess who abused that? Yeah, Ezreal. I realize I'm just repeating what points I made in the post that got you to reply, but they're the biggest offenders. He just gets a free pass whenever something comes along. In another thread, I read a term that I'm fond of - The Ezreal Test. Does it make Ezreal overpowered? Yes? Okay, get rid of it. Don't touch him, he's the perfect child. Always hit the other part of the equation..

Runeglaive was removed for being shitty on everyone who jungles other than AA jungles and builds AP. Which in the jungle most AP junglers are spell orientated not AA therefore making it a terrible item.

Scorch (sorc regular rune) does 30-60 bonus magic damage on ability use, and aery/comet also do a bundle of damage, and then Q's damage itself. Aery/comet/Q have AD scaling and working out what those are doing at level 1 is more work than I feel like right now (especially considering theres a few potential sources of AD from other runes), but the combination of Q+scorch+aery/comet is probably the culprit.

can you sell to shop kleptomanced items?
