Can we consider some buffs to Ezreal?

Ezreal

45% winrate which has been going down since the last couple of patches, due to item 3153 nerfs, hurting his lifesteal and damage quite significantly.

He's known as the "I don't trust my teammates" pick or one of, if not THE safest AD carry pick that scales well into the late game. However due to itemization changes and more focus on lane bullies like Draven and Lucian , assassins like Twitch , utility like Ashe and Varus or hypercarries likeKogMaw , he fits into none of these categories since all he does is bring damage and a well-scaling ADC.

Now that his itemization has been hit, his winrate is also tanking since he can no longer reliably scale well or do enough damage to become relevant.

However the biggest problem is definitely item 3070

I really hope riot considers Ezreal for buffs in the near future.

The biggest problem for me is manamune item 3004. It's a strong item but you basically concede lane and sacrifice your early game for it. That and the fact that crit items are now so cheap that your mid game spike is the same as any other adc. I wish they would just put half the muramana item 3042 passive on manamune or make ez q crit for 125% to give him new build paths.

I'm pretty sure Ezreal is a midgame, not lategame champion.

scales well into late game?

He's too unreliable to do that. Late game even a moderately skilled Ashe can mindlessly shred half the team while Ezreal struggles to compete with a water gun.

We could buff again his passive and/or buff his ad ratio across spells ? (or at least his Q) or make is E proc on hit effect ?

Triforce gets its annual buff before worlds. Don't worry, Corki and Ezreal will be more than viable in about 3 months.
