is ezreal adc weak right now?

I'd say he's bad compared to most.

well yea.. he needs a lot longer to scale into the game with all the crit items around that aren´t much use for him until they all add up. i´m also a tad lost...i´ve seen some strange blue ez builds have success, i´ve seen hybrid tries find success (rageblade->gunblade), i have even had a fairly good game with rageblade into wit´s end.

but all i really want is to get the old essence reaver back that had been inifintly better than the shitty crit one.

and a lot of crit items are AMAZING on him. He can spam q every 2 seconds practically and his ult seems like its up about every 30 seconds. I don't know the exact numbers, I don't play ezreal but this is what and how Iv'e seen a lot of really good pre season Ezreals build and do a lot of damage.

It's because breaks the CDR limit.

He is so insanely strong. Your q hits like a truck and resets all other cds by 1.5s. Use fervor on him and he does so much damage its kinda gross actually.

The problem with Ez this season is his powerspike got delayed a bit since Muramana is......okay on him now and is now replaced with ER for the most part along with Trinity (which is like 7k gold total) and until then he is "okay". I personally would rather play Corki for the mid game since A) He is a much stronger magic damage source on your team compared to Ez which is important since AD Mids are more common and B) he actually has waveclear and is a imo a better flex pick if shit hits the fan (has a better mid lane if your mid laner wants nothing to do with their Ahri or something).

Ezreal is garbage. Strongest build on him right now is:

For the sake of your team, don't play Ezreal.

Ezreal actually has the highest DPS, relatively speaking you hit q every time it comes up, and kite and auto attack like a regular ADC. He's just hard to play that's all.

Ezreal is a skillshot champion unlike the standard auto attack ADC.

Many times I will see an ezreal build a or something of the likes and their damage is MIA.

I think people just haven't figured out an appropriate build for him yet. Here's the current champion.gg info.

I wonder if going Frozen Fist or Rageblade first wouldn't be better as a first item. For a long time now Ezreal's been a champ that needs 20-30 minutes to farm up his items to do anything. Then he carries you to victory. I wonder if he went Rageblade first he could apply enough pressure in the side lanes to prevent the enemy from 5 manning mid lane. The most underrated part about Rageblade is the wicked free waveclear, which is something Ezreal is in desperate need of. Furthermore, if he went Frozen First first he could have improved waveclear and team fight utility. I swear to god, the most annoying thing in the world is the Frozen Fist Ezreal in a team fight.

They raised his skill floor a fair bit by making his CD's longer but making Q lower your CD's more. Overall I think he's around the same as he was before.

Honestly, I've felt like he always has been. AD Ezreal is so inferior to AP Ezreal it's crazy. Ever since I started playing ranked, every time I have to support an Ezreal I cringe. Even if we win lane, it's useless because an AD Ezreal has almost no carry potential. For the love of god just build him AP botlane idgaf. It's like picking AD Teemo over AP. It just isn't worth it.

The problem with Ezreal. benefits spell casters and crit users. Ezreal's Q was made purposely not to crit and that is what he uses for all of his safe damage. In aa range he is easily jumped and out dueled. Old at least gave him full benefits at any range.

And then theres which now doesn't give him any AP. Meaning his dual scaling are null. He also doesn't really benefit from the extra 5% crit chance. Also the loss of AP on makes it really awkward on him.

So yea Ezreal is in a really shitty ADC position. But he still wrecks as an AP mid. So IDK.
