A Rework Idea?
The Prodigal Explorer`s Rework?
Okay, guys. Ill be blunt. I love Ezreal Like...To death. He is fun. Mobile and before all these updates. He was the second ADC to easily 1v5. Hands down no questions asked. If he was behind he can still have a shot at fighting. If he was ahead. He stomped the Rift. But now. Where is the Ezreal Rework? If not a rework. Just an upgrade to his Kit. Ezreal
is a fun champ to play sure. But. "It`s all Skill." Isn't very true. Why not upgrade his kit if a rework is too much of a hassle you know? Make his R and E more fun and creative for the skill shot champion.
We will start with his E. Ezreals E is a tiny flash with a nice damage homing missile after use on the nearest target. Thats not very fun. Why not get rid of the Missle afterwords. Then add in a longer range on the jump and after the use of the jump. It will reset his Q Cooldown. So basically after 5 seconds. If your being hunted by Warwick Or Hecarim. You can pack Iceborn
. Q them once. E away from them. Q them again and give him a stronger fighting chance against Tanks and Assassins. The downside to that. You E in and miss your Q both times? You will be punished hard for it.
Next, his R. Ezreals ult has always been a joy to Leauge of Legends. Baron steals. Dragon, Champion even CS and Buff grabs. But why not make it a more punishable and skilled ability? So Keep the R mostly the same. But add in a little bonus. We all know the W E combo to increase your own passive during using. Right? Why not make it so. After ulting. You can REDIRECT it. With a very small window using W and increase its damage by a little bit. Say? 50? Sounds dumb? Let me explain. Ezreal is supposed to be all skill right? Hes mobile as well. Not only does this make it so if you ult the wrong way you can fix it. BUT For Pro players who one trick Ezreal
. They can do crazy combos. And with this? If you R then flash
or E into it you can be easily punished in the lane or the JG if you are not careful. So not only does this make Ezreal
more Skill Shot and crazy base. Is it at that point? "All Skill."
Now an Ezreal
rework? Well, Riot games have been doing well lately. But why not do something crazy here for Ezreal? He is a Prodigal Explorer. That`s not shown much in his kit, unlike his skins. Why not give him a more explorer like approach?
At the start of the game. You have Three choices. (However, Riot wants to implement this.) Id say. You can at the start. Buy Three Relics. From Ezreals
adventures. Red, Blue, Yellow.
A Red Relic. Maybe something from the Shadow Isles? Increases his damage massive but as well as spike up his Cooldowns. So no more five-second Qs or 3. With Red. It would be 6 or 8. But your insane damage and E reset would make up for the lack of cd. So being a Jungler Assassin would be way more rewarding. Your early game harass would destroy champions like Rammus and Lee who are early game carries.
A Blue Relic. Maybe something from Ionia? Would make his abilities have shorter CD`s and Increase in their AP ratio as well as a bounce to things like his Q? So if you fire it in mid at a wall it would bounce. Maybe that would be better for his W? But I think an increase in AP and the bouncing abilities would be insane and cause for some massive plays. But your issue is your lacking massively in damage. So again. It is crazy. But punishable by a lot.
Finally a Yellow Relic. His gem from Shurima. This would be the standard Ezreal
without any changes for anyone who likes how he is and wants to smash lane quickly with all of his base stats for ADC and Mid.
Now the interesting part about this is how you can earn a Relic in the late game? Red or Blue. At one random point, Riot would choose. You get a side quest. Being kill a Red. Or Blue buff. And they will drop the Relic. Or if you took Red or Blue. It can be like Garens Ultimate. It will mark a target and kill the most threatening enemy champion will drop the Yellow Relic. So then you now have Three choices and can COMBINE another Relic for late game making him a bigger threat. Like Red and Blue or Blue and Yellow. These are only ideas but I think it would be cool to try some of these. But hey. Im just an Ezreal
player.
Any thoughts on any of this? I wanna see what anyone else would do for Ezreal
. He is a decent champion like Draven its hard to really think of a way to rework him. Well maybe this can help you think of something?
