Is anybody gonna talk about how Ezreal's rework is a straight buff?

Riot didn't change a single thing about Ezreal's kit besides his W, which is one of the worst spells in the game and something you usually don't even use past level 8. With the strength of his new W I feel like hes going to be way stronger and will have a 52%+ winrate from the changes and will be a pick or ban champion. I think its fine he got a new W but riot should nerf some of his other abilities if they are going to add this. Edit: some people didn't know that it works on towers

Nobody in solo que seems to have any idea how to play him anyway so I'm not sure how noticeable it will be.

It's a nice buff but "pick or ban" tier seems to be a gross overestimation of how strong he'll be He's at 48% WR currently so he'll probably go up to 49-50% WR with this buff assuming it doesnt get dragged down by the influx of new Ez players

they literally said all they wanted to do was change W, tweak numbers, and improve his model/VO. they have said that for literally months.

Its like people pay 0 attention to any news sources or dev blogs or whatever and then act like riot just straight did something random. I get you think the rework is busted or whatever (unlikely from what I layed) but this thread makes it sound like you expected a full VGU for him and just, lol.

As an Ap Ezreal mid main I disagree that his W is one of the worst spells in the game. That said I totally agree that this is basically a large buff for most situations for Ezreal and I don't need more people playing Ezreal.

I'm convinced this rework is literally just out of desperation to bring back/in/keep players. Ezreal has always been one of the most popular champions (i have no idea why, his kit is so boring to me and he isn't difficult. Deal with it.) so making him all shiny new, fun and strong is a great way to do this. SO many other champions needed it more. I mean if theyre gunna go ths route they need to rework yasuo too hes popular and everyone hates him.

I mean. Every rework they change one ability and that’s it’s. Every reworked champion has just been a straight buff.

It works on all objectives (Dragon, Baron, Herald, Turrets) doesn't work on jungle monsters or minions. Yeah its gonna be broken, but you still have to land your skillshots, or just auto for less damage.

What we SHOULD be worry about is the refunded mana +60 more.

maybe its adding his lack of power because his W was useless as fuck he only had 4 reliable abilities Q,E,R,P now he has 5 reliable abilities like every other champ. did you think about that?

exactly what I said lmao it's not a rework it's literally just a big buff

It just gave him more reliable burst damage, even if you want to build AD

I guess its cool, but I'd rather them fix ezreal so he doesn't ruin every item 3057 by becoming stupidly strong with it, ruining it for everyone else

Isn't Nunu rework supposed to be a straight buff? he now has a stun I mena , let's be real , his Q is kind of the same but better , can even damage champion Kinda a better W Kinda the same E but even better , dps and stuff Kinda the same ult I'm surprised how his winrate isn't that good ..
