Ezreal doesn't deserve the massive nerfs he's getting...

Cloud273·Mar 13, 2019·2 votes·1,341 views

AP ratio on his 'q' is being removed completely (fck AP Ezreal, right?), and his ult is being nerfed. May be something else I'm forgetting, but I know he's getting those 2 things at the very least. Meanwhile Jinx has like a 53%+ winrate in literally every division. What's the point of playing a champ that actually requires skill when you have sht like Jinx and Twitch who can AOE point+click burst your team from halfway across the map?

BTW his winrate isn't even that high right now. 47% winrate in Plat currently (rounded up...). 48% in Diamond and Masters, and only like 53% in Challenger. Jinx, Draven, and Twitch win more literally everywhere.

No they haven't been reverted. If you check surrenderat20 they're still there. And I'm not complaining. I'm just giving my opinion. He doesn't deserve the nerfs. There are adc's with WAY higher winrates in literally every division.

Tear needs to not stack with itself, Iceborn Gauntlet needs to be made melee only because Ez literally breaks it every time it's strong.

Gutting AP Ez was never the answer and I'm glad they realized that.

Ezreal may have skill shots, but the issue with Ezreal is his Q. The only issue I've ever had is his Q. It applies on-hit effects, has virtually no mana cost, has no cooldown at rank 2, scales like a mutherfucker, is incredibly easy to aim, has an insane range, and allows him to freefarm in lane from a safe distance in almost every matchup he goes against in bot lane. I mean, ,one sheen and he dominates lane. He is one of what.... 3 champions that can take klepto without trolling? Solely because of his Q.

Easyreal needed the nerfs. You wanna talk about other adcs?? Jinx has to build crit and damage to even stand a chance in the late game. Easyreal can build a Iceborn Gauntlet and a Manamune and 3-4 shot her before she can gapclose him. The champion is clearly too strong, and still will be even after nerf.

AND BY THE WAY I love playing Ezreal because of these things, because of how easy it is to play him, and how free laning as him is because of all his poke and escape and damage potential at lvl 3. But its too strong as has been for a while.

The issue is he's just building a double tear hybrid and still manages to deal the kind of damage that shouldn't be possible with such a build, especially one that includes a defensive item.

It’s just riots adc bias. If at any point an adc becomes playable in any other role for any reason (outside of reworks like graves) they must be gutted into the dirt.

Where else is he being played though? I've never seen him anywhere other than bot.
