When an adc is forced to build mana and armor to be relevant...

You know they're in a bad spot. And yes I'm talking about Ezreal. I don't care what you do for him. You could give him normal base HP (like most other adc's), give him his 'w' debuff back, reduce his mana costs, reduce the channel time on his ult, etc. I don't care what it is, but give him something please. I'm tired of Ezreal's power budget revolving around his arcane shift, which honestly isn't that great of an ability.

The reason Iceborn gauntlet is such a popular pick on ezreal is just how overloaded it is and how abusive ezreal makes it. You just mash your q button for an aoe slow that does 400 damage. Why the hell not get it? And then ezreal got nerfed because it was only really broken on him but was considered a staple item so they just made it so it didn't make him go to a point where the aoe damage could half hp you're entire team, or kill the squishies because a tank walked in front of it and the aoe got you. That would be insane and massivly frustrating as well as just bad game design. Also no one wants blue ezreal to be competative. No one. Not even faker likes it.

I play ez and think he's balanced atm, and i even use q to last hit far/cannon creeps

48% win rate says otherwise.

48% is healthy winrate. Winrates between 47.5% and 52.5% are considered balanced.

I am aware that the number is healthy. What I don't like is how he's forced to build those items to succeed. He should be able to build other items (you know, normal adc items) and still be relevant. But the thing is, if he builds anything other than that he dies too quickly.

Uh, he isn't "forced" to buy that at all

He buys the Manamune/IBG because it synergizes with his kit extremely well because it lets him spam his short cd Q for the repeated slow.

People build IBG for sheen and slow added for bonus kiting. Not for the armor and mana. Thise are just bonuses he gets.
