I think ezreal is the most nerfed champion in this game.

Everytime he even sees 47% + wr he is literally kneecapped with nerfs to the point he is not even a viable pick for anything besides being a distraction with a once low cd flash.

Most games feels like id be better off building tank items and doing no damage an just running around to stall for my team to kill everyone, legit everyone is flash diving me with everything they got and its not fun at all anymore. every ability has been hit with insane ratio nerfs or cooldown increases, meanwhile if another champ is doing good it gets maybe .125 reduction in an ap ratio or -1 starting ad, nah but not ezreal.

R cooldown increased by 50% E cooldown increased by 6 seconds at lvl 1 Q ratio and base damage nerfed multiple times R ratio nerfed and base damage lowered. W ap ratio nerfed even more. Items always nerfed or changed to not allow certain builds.

Like why cant other champs get this treatment, why does Ez the only champ who gets just kneecapping nerf beatings with the bat when others get off with love taps.

ezreal has the most safe kit in the game, so yeah no one is interested in him having a high play rate or low skill floor.

Because for one, for the general populace, he's an annoying, uninteractive champion; in lane, he literally sits as far back, shooting out Q's and if you do engage on him, he just E's away. And half the time, if he E's towards you, he probably just popped W on you and landed a point blank Q. He's annoying particularly with certain builds.

For two, there are still half wits in the world that believe that he's a godtier champion. He isn't. He has a huge play rate but is scraping a 46% WR according to some websites. I realize that Riot gave him a mini rework but I feel like he needs a much larger scale one to try and address some of his issues.

Because if played correctly he is still on par with other ADCs, so they need to nerf his safety that he has over the others to stop him being God-tier.

Ez 100% sucks if played like a normal ADC; you play him more like a mage as all his damage really comes from skill shots and comboing his skills. He also has a fairly weak early game (which means in the current meta sometimes he never gets to come online) because his earliest items have no damage AND require stacking time. However, once he gets 3-4 items he becomes a chunking monster who is also Assassin-levels of hard to catch.

Ez keeps seeing these nerfs because if you can't punish him early, he will completely destroy you late.

Koreans play him ADC no matter if he is good or bad and thats why he suffers 🤣

Yet other 'annoying' champions like Jax, Fizz, Riven, Yasuo, Zed, Master Yi, more... Are untouched or buffed. Also RIP Aatrox 😅

Because he's been in a broken state for like 5 months before he was nerfed. The first time.

Also he's ezreal, he usually ends up finding some new build that shoots his winrate anyway.

ever heard of Aatrox Aatrox Aatrox Aatrox Aatrox and Aatrox? OVER 10 nerfs in 1 season (these include a few pretty massive nerfs per patch aswell)
