How to fix Ezreal (Suggestion)

He doesn't need to be fixed per say but his build path for the current meta is really bad so he falls short of being played. Ezreal's build path right now is really bad. Having to get Tear and then Tri-Force and you still don't do any damage. You finish manamune and then finally start building a BOTRK (if one is needed, which most of the time is a smart item to get for him)

Ezreal struggles because his early is spent building mana just to survive the game. So how do we fix that? One change that involves a new type of debuff (I don't have a name but something like Mana Sap, idk)

*THE IDEA* Ezreal's W applies a debuff to Enemy Minions/ Champs as well as monsters, when allies basic-attack the marked enemies they gain a portion of their missing/max mana back. Mana returned is reduced to 50% against minions and monsters.

The reason for allies getting mana back as well is because Ezreal's current W only grants attack speed to his allies which is really weird. As a champion who isn't centered around utility**, his W is out of place in his kit. But if Riot wanted to keep the "I'm helping my team" concept on that ability then they make it so his W returns mana for them with the "mark" or "rune" or whatever they would have him apply.

**Champions like Twitch and Lucian and personal buffs ie. Twitch Q and Lucian W. Abilities that compliment the rest of their kit.

  • Lucian's W allows him to 1. Proc his Passive-Lightslinger as well as offer a MS buff while attacking the marked target, synergizing well with his ultimate.
  • Twitch's Q just offers an Attack Speed buff.
  • Xayah's W offers more damage, also procs her passive.

Ezreal can still be played as the poke centric/ mobile champ that he is, but instead of having to build mana to be rewarded with damage, you are rewarded with mana for doing damage. His Q would proc this effect because, as most people are aware, Ezreal's Q applies on-hit effects.

Another idea would be to just make his Q return mana on hit or on minion kill.

P.S. I'm not a writer so the format might be janky but I hope the Idea is clear for everyone
