When you pick Ezreal, do you expect your entire team to drop what they do in a fight and peel?

"Dragon's up? Brb let me clear top with my ult. Now I need you guys to peel for me please."

I used to think that Ez did no damage.

Then I got carried super hard by a plat 3 Ez as Karma.

He farmed passively in lane. Then straight up bought a manamune (didn't even get early tear, just saved up until he could buy the sword in one go), then he farmed until Trinity Force.

At like 15 or 20 minutes or so something turned on.

He would press Q and nail the enemy Cait for 60% of her max hp (press Q once, there goes 60% cait's healthbar!). He started Arcane shifting super aggressively at everyone, Bursting them down or otherwise chunking them for ridiculous amounts of damage. he was diving super deep. All I could do was push E and watch him mow down everyone. It was insane how much damage he was dishing out.

I found the match:http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1753375741/37926959?tab=overview&participant=5 In case you were wondering about the weird Karma build I was running, I was testing Penetration karma build (my conclusions with that build was that you get tanky, I had about 3k hp which I like and you deal nice damage, lategame I chunked Cass for 40% of her max hp with my Q, but the downside is you don't get aegis/mikaels which is kind of bad)

Turns out the best Ezreal build is manamune into Trinity Force http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1761628428/37926959?tab=builds http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1764747680/37926959?tab=builds

You just start hitting like a truck at the 15-20 minute mark (when you finish your Trinity Force).

Should put a disclaimer on that in champ select.

An Ezreal was begging his team to peel for him
