New season, time to ask for Ezreal buffs again (READ!)
I do this pretty much every new season, so here we go again.
Please buff AP Ezreal!
I've had this discussion many times so I'll keep it simple. If anyone wants to know why I think AP Ezreal deserves to be buffed, why this off-build is worth supporting or have any other questions I'll be more than happy to elaborate. I know buffing AP Ez is very complicated because you don't want to buff AD Ezreal at the same time. I propose a very simple solution : add a new mechanic to Rising Spellforce. For every stack, Ezreal's basic attacks and Qs deal bonus magic damage equal to a small percentage of his ability power (NO BASE DAMAGE).
Why buff his passive? Couple reasons
- AP Ezreal's biggest weakness is his lack of waveclear. You can be a successful mid lanner without any CC (see Katarina) but you need waveclear.
- You can't actually give AP Ezreal waveclear without giving AD Ezreal waveclear. Well you could use some very weird things like W deals damage to minions but only past a certain AP cap or it only deals damage to minion equal to W's ap ratio, but yeah THAT's never gonna happen.
- AP Ezreal has no real reason to care about his passive outside of the very early game, which is annoying because Ezreal's passive is very engaging and fun to manage and it really fits his playstyle (be rewarded for landing skillshots).
Note that this buff would not actually give AP Ezreal waveclear but it WOULD help him push waves and last hit under turret. It would be a nudge in the right direction.
So what do you say, Riot? New season, everything's gonna be a mess anyway so WHY NOT try this very small change? It won't really impact AD Ezreal and it would help a very nice off-build without making it overpowered.
