AD Carrys, Advice Needed!

Hello all! I've played this game since release and Ezreal has always been one of my go to champions. Now days, I don't play him much as I feel he lacks damage with the builds that commonly used. Unless I play champs like Graves Sivir Jinx then I tend to get flack before the game even starts. Graves & Sivir are my two most played currently just because I feel as they are a couple of the strongest. I even get negative comments when I hover over the champion Caitlyn in champ select. If I see fit to the team, sometimes I choose something else.

My main points of concern & questioning is, can Ezreal hold is own against other adcs if played correctly? and is there any other build out of the ordinary from the basic item 3078 & item 3004.

Also, if Caitlyn is behind into the mid game, is she useless?

Any tips of advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you

I'm pretty sad when I have an Ezreal on my team. He is super fun to play but unless you land upwards of 80% of his Qs then you wont be winning many rounds.

If cait doesn't get fed from lane phase she's pretty bad in the mid game, but she has a really strong late game if you can make it to 5 items.

And yes ADC ezreal is definitely viable, your goal is to get your muramana asap, just survive lane phase and win team fights. Sometimes item 3025 is better than item 3078 depending on the enemy team.

OK, you are in the same division as I am so I think this should appropriately apply to you. Screw the complainers. In Gold, you can get away with A LOT. We are not dueling people that will punish our every mistake with calculated positioning and efficiency. Play the champs that you have FUN playing and you will actually end up doing better. For example, do I/can I play the FOTM adc's, yes, and as and ADC main you will generally be able to do well with w/e is strong, but I honestly feel like I am better off playing Miss Fortune, Kog'Maw, Ezreal, or Cait. They may not be in the meta but I feel more comfortable and end up dishing out a lot more damage and playing a lot more confidently.

Caitlyn is never useless. She has so much range and as long as you farm then you should be fine. Ezreal is the only adc i don't own and I used him on F2P and i think he can hold is own. He's pretty strong but I dont know where he stands against other adc's.

I feel that Ezreal needs to be picked into the correct composition. His kit is very safe with the ranged poke on his Mystic Shot and the efficient blink that Arcane Shift provides. The difficulty that Ezreal faces is that he is not a high physical damage carry. He is primarily a caster based ADC with a hybrid of AP and AD. Many people also struggle to utilize his passive properly in order to maintain stacks.

Against the right composition, Ezreal can be quite strong with his potential to kite and reposition very easily throughout the duration of a teamfight. Along with this, his mixed damage can come in very handy if the enemy team focus on building exclusively armor because Ezreal also has AP damage.

Personally, I am a fan of item 3025 on Ezreal because it greatly increases his kiting potential and helps his (somewhat) weak waveclear.
