Ezreals Passive needs something... else....

as an Ezreal player, and seeing many other Ezreal players, i feel that Ezreals current passive rising spell force, is almost useless. let me explain and keep in mind this is just my opinion. first off, its completely useless on AP Ezreal, secondly the only time it is useful is when Ezreal builds some attack speed and critical strike and AD, and when you make that build you want to auto attack more often than firing your q because your q doesn't crit, and to do THAT you have to stand still. standing still on such a squishy champion is asking to just stand there and die. what do i see on most ezreal players and myself? movement.... no one stands still long enough to make his passive of any use unless you are taking out a tower maybe but even then its minimal at best. and that's if they are trying to use his passive. most of the time, people build Ap or AD with CDR. his base movespeed is too slow to be able to do a couple auto attacks and run. many ezreal players i see and myself dont make use of his passive at all and its mainly cuz all my damg comes from my q and spells even if i throw an auto attack in there my q comes back so fast that i really dont even need to auto. what is ezreal lacking in his kit that MOST other champions already have without items? a slow, a CC, a stun SOMEthing. but ezreal has none of that forcing players to purchase items for him to have some sort of slow or stun or CC. my solution?: i think it should be changed to casting 5 spells on the same champion will stun them. i dont think it would unbalance the game considering ezreal doesnt any form of CC you can even keep the name of the passive because it makes sense. if a stun is too powerful maybe a root or something but at this point anything could be better than boosting attack speed. also considering his w does not affect anything other than champions it makes stacking passive take too long when fighting things like dragon unless you blow your ultimate into creep waves, but i tend to save mine for champion snipes and defending towers and such. all in all i hope a developer reads this and figures something out, because i feel my favorite champion doesnt even have a passive anymore, which if this game had a champion without a passive players would feel jipped and you would get many angry riot fans. why arent there many angry ezreal fans? simple cuz there are very few ezreal players. and for those players who do make use of his passive i applaud you, but auto attack ezreal isnt my playstyle cuz i dont live long enough to stand still and auto attack.

As soon as you said it was uselss for AP ez i stopped reading, cause that's truly what you are complaining about. Cause if you are AD ez no matter what your build (crit or blue) your AAs deal significant damage and the AS is very useful.

So saying that, Ez is designed to be built AD, that is how he was designed, and that's how his kite is mostly balanced around.

You dont design Ahris passive around an AD build do you? so then why would design Ez passive around anything but AD since he was originally design as AD. the AP is just there for diversity, many AD champs have AP scaling, but it doesnt mean that there abilities where designed to go AP. same with AP champs. For instance, I play AD swain alot, but he has no AD scaling. That doesn't mean they should rework him so that he has AD scaling in his build.

I understand AP is just a different way to go and yea I should have just left that part out but when I put it in it was more of a way to show that it really doesn't have any use for either build. I know he is an AD champ but his passive bothers me a lot cuz it doesn't really do anything for many players, not just myself. I know his auto attacks can do some damg but at a certain point you only fire 1 maybe 2 auto attacks and q +w even if you auto attack between these combos having attack speed doesn't matter cuz u will stop to q. It's like he doesn't have a passive, if I try to get full stacks on an opponent they will kill ezreal before he gets a chance to use it, and you can't deny that ezreal doesn't have a slow or cc in his kit where MANY champions do its like it's missing when it was supposed to be there. And just to be clear I am an AD ez player and I find his passive useless I rarely build him AP
