So Riot, do you have any plans for Ezreal currently? Will he get any changes soon?
Is there any plans to change Ezreal right now?
I'm talking about Gameplay and Visual Updates or anything. I mean, gameplay wise:
-
He's very out-classed by most ADCs right now (don't get me wrong, he's still strong, but there's just no reason to pick Ezreal over someone like Vayne, Kalista or Corki, if it wasn't for the safety that he provides.)
-
Essence Flux really feels useless when going ADC Ezreal and there's literally no reason to level up the spell before lvl 13, except for that small attack speed boost (and even though, I prefer a 2 seconds cooldown reduction on my E than a 20% Attack Speed boost.)
-
His mana costs are really insane (50 to 90 Mana for Essence Flux... wat? 90 Mana for Arcane Shift holy shift! Yes pun intended. Q costs 40 Mana, but you spam it so much to pole that your mana drains quickly if you don't have a Tear)
-
Very lackluster against tanks, as he doesn't have anything to counter them in his kit, except maybe his ultimate which deals Magic Damage based on his Bonus AD, but it's on a 80 seconds cooldown, so...
And, visuals...
-
Particles look really out-dated. I mean, seriously, his Q looks like a fucking cumshot. Literally, it's like he ejaculates on his opponent. Plus, the icons look really out-dated too. Even Pulsefire Ezreal's particles are basically blue recolors, except the R and a little bit pn the Q... Ok, the E has a nice shift animation at landing, but that's it.
-
His face on his older skins, oh my god... He literally looks like a fucking ape. Like really, just look at his 3D model on his classic skin. Does he really remind you of Ezreal? Meanwhile, on the splash art, he looks like a badass explorer, having no fears and pretty arrogant and young. Was it too hard to give him a face like on his TPA/Debonair/Ace of Spades skin?
Riot, do you have any plans for Ezreal? He really could use some love, gameplay or visual update wise.
, but after that he starts to fall off while most other ADC's will start ramping up. The simplest solution imo would be to gut one of those kits, AP or AD(I like ADC Ez more so I'm fine w/ AP dying) and compensate his other kit to balance him out better, but I don't think it will happen.
