Those PBE Ez changes...

AD Ezreal is overpowered right now, yet on PBE Riot has nerfs to his ult cd. This type of nerf will only hurt AP Ezreal. His ult is not what makes AD ez op. It's the safety and reward of his basic kit when paired with . And that's fine. Synergy is not an evil thing.

Imo, reverting his E's scaling back so it doesn't have an AD ratio would balance him out. I see Ezreals carelessly E'ing into their enemies and getting rewarded for it by getting kills, because it now does too much damage. It's not supposed to do damage it's already the safest reposition/escape spell an adc could ask for.

This will kill AP Ezreal and barely do anything to BluEz, because Blu dude builds lots of CDR and mana and he will have this ult quick anyways by spamming Q [slayer-jinx-unamused]

He had the ult up like every 40 seconds, and it deals a lot of damage if it doesn't go through too much stuff. That solves some problems, now they just need to nerf the Iceborn Gauntlet.

And give Sion another kick in the balls? Iceborn Gauntlet is one of the reasons Sion is still decent. I'd rather see Ez get nerfed then seeing Sion get another (indirect) nerf. summoner 31

Agreed, bad changes are bad, this only hurts AP ez, not AD ez

Ezreal just needs a lot of adjustments. So much of Ezreal's power is shoved into his Q; an extremely high ranged, fast moving, high damage projectile that applies all on-hit effects, has a broken hitbox, and after hitting it you subsequently lower the cooldown of his already extremely low cooldown abilities.

The highest winrate ADC Ezreal build he doesn't even take his W until level 13 I believe. I think if Riot transferred some of Ezreal's Q power into his W he would be a lot better. Right now you only have to use two abilities all laning phase and you can still dominate with not much counterplay involved.

Yea this is the problem. Too much power on q, little to no power on w. Riot got asked if they have plans for a reworked w for Ezreal, they simply said no.... But I don't think he is op. He is just really safe and fits well into the meta. At this moment there are way more viable adc's than last season at least...

While you really underestimate his ult on ad ez, i agree that it is the wrong way to nerf him. It will hit ad ez hard enough, maybe even to hard, but it will destroy ap-ez.

I don't agree with EZ abuseing Iceborn beeing fine. Such extreme snergie means either the champ is balanced around the item, kill all other builts, or the item is balanced around that one champs and prettymuch shit for all other champs. Currently, both is kinda happening. Blue EZ is mostly the only built used, and the nerf will hit all other builts just as hard or probably worse, while iceborn is a rather bad item for any other ranged champ, and even for melees that don't stack armor.
