Which keystone am I supposed to take on Ezreal?
None of them in any of the tree's feel like good fits anymore.
I guess thunderlords for some extra oomph when I decide to switch from poking to going all in on someone?
So far all of the pre-season changes have sucked for Ez. Your follow up changes only seem to be making matters worse.
If you poke regularly, Deathfire may work (it's a 4 second DoT on your Q, and your Q has a very short CD). For short trades, Thunderlord is cool too. To chose between the two, the question is "do you want flat ArPen, or % ArPen ?" Flat is better against squishies, % against tanks.
Aslo, I'm not 100% sure that Fervor is dead. How many stack does your Q add? 1 as a ranged basic attack? 2 as an ability? Or 3 because it counts as both at the same time? And I'm pretty sure your Q still applies the damage from Fervor.
Depends on a couple of things.
Fervor is still pretty good in general, and if you can keep it stacked during sieges it's pretty good. I don't know if Q will give two sticks per champ hit (one as an on-hit, one as an ability), but I think it's still decent.
Warlord's is pretty decent if you build crit, which will be encouraged if you go ER / TF since in the next patch you need to build more crit to get your CDR capped (I'm going to try ER - TF - IE next patch, see if I like it). Overall standard but fine.
Thunderlord's is hard to proc but is pretty okay; you can proc it with just Q's over and over again so it has value in sieges. The hybrid pen mastery should be good on Ez especially since it's getting buffed (for some reason), but holy shit the CDR would be fun. Probably not worth, but fun.
I'll probably stick with Fervor, especially if it double stacks on Q, but I don't know either. I'll probably at least try Thunderlord's; it's good on practically every champion anyways and it's getting it's AD ratio buffed (or was it buffed this patch? I don't remember). Ez was super good so far this preseason IMO with Fervor, but the nerf is pretty significant so I think he's going to be in a weak spot again.
you gain two stacks for landing an abillity, so if you land your Q frequently, it shouldn't be a big issue to keep fervor stacked up.
DFT since youre EZ you should be poking unless you are 1v1 or owning a 1v2counter push.
Reasons for not going thunderlord: it has a 20 second cd. DFT does not.
EDIT: apparently DFT doesn't even work with his Q, so thunder is def the better option
I would definitely go thunderlords. 45% cdr is amazing on ezreal.
