Hitting a target with any of Ezreal's abilities increases his attack speed by 10% for 6 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. This is the spell that makes you not being in need of attackspeed, if Trueshot Barrage hits multiple target, you get multiple stacks, stacking up to 5.


(Q)

Flash, obvious to take since you need escape tools on every ad carry. Should ALWAYS be taken.

Cleanse, good against heavy cc team, though i run it almost every game since i feel you can output more dmg by cleansing the Exhaust (which you always be affected by as adc), than going ignite. you can also cleanse the enemies ignite's.

Ignite, good damage output spell, also good when fighting enemies like Dr. Mundo or Soraka, every champ who heals good tbh, since it will decrease every health incomming on the ignited target by 50%.

Heal, good spell if you want to bait turret dives, or fighting 1v1/2v2 in lane. Though not so good in late game since you will almost guaranteed have a heal reduction spell on yourself.

Barrier, imo a better version of heal, since it wont be affected by Ignite and other healing reduction spells, also good for baiting turret dives, might not be so good 2v2 as Heal since Barrier only affects you, but imo still its a better summoner to take than Heal.

9x of these, since it gives you attack damage. Some people do go 9x greater mark of armor penetration but since you get armor pen from your mastery page ( Weapon Expertise ) i feel that going pure ad marks is better.

, Sona's Hymn of Valor with Ez is just too strong, all of his damage, not to mention his ult, get so much damage from the aura. Healing and armor + the speed boost give Ez such good chase potential that even after Ez does his burst combo, he can still follow up for the kill.
Then add sona ult, and Ez can easily land all his abilities and/or his ult without having fear of misssing, putting the other lane on their heels.

], What makes Ezreal strong against Ashe is that he can easily get out of her permaslows and easily dodge her Enchanted Crystal Arrow with his Arcane Shift.

The only problem might be that Ashe Volley can deal a high amount of dmg really early, forcing Ezreal to recall before he even hit lvl4, its hard to poke back on Ashe since she will just stay behind creeps and fire her Volley (which deals damage in a cone), making it almost impossible for Ezreal to poke back, though this wont probably be a problem around lvl 4 and forward.

Also keep in mind that you can use your Arcane Shift at the same time Enchanted Crystal Arrow hits you, making the stun run out be4 ashe can run in range to attack and apply her Frost Shot on you.

, If you take skill out of account and supports then generally graves will destroy Ezreal.

Why?
- Both have a strong q

, graves' Buckshot being far easier to land than Ezreal's Mystic ShotGraves has an armor passive leading to him taking substantially less damage than Ezreal will [this is the key factor imo.]
Graves' Quickdraw buff simply means he will beat Ezreal in a straight up fight.

Graves is better than Ezreal in 1v1's. The only way Ezreal can win is if he pokes Graves down before they fight and then jukes Graves' Buckshot with his Arcane Shift. He must then also continue to land his Mystic Shot for his own AS buff and extra damage.

The fact that Ezreal must do that to win prooves Graves is a counter pick for Ezreal must outplay Graves to win. But this lane will mostly come down to skills on support/ad.

In laning phase, constantly try to harass your enemies with your Mystic Shot, With Long Sword it deals massive damage early levels. It can also be a really good last hitting tool if your getting zoned.

Arcane Shift can be used as both jumping in tool or escape tool. If you have a support like leona and she enters a fight with her Zenith Blade you can Arcane Shift up to her and get in range. Otherwise you can always use your Arcane Shift to escape, its probably one of the best escaping tools in game.

Keep in mind if your against a Blitzcrank you can use your Arcane Shift at the time the hooks hits you, that way blitz won actually drag you into him. And keep in mind if you got a support jungler like Alistar or Maokai, then you can ask for the second red buff, giving you huge laning/killing pressure in lane.

And ofcourse always lasthit minions, never push the lane unless your going for turret or if someone of the other ad/supp dies then push the minions to turret to increase the chance of the enemy to miss lasthits.

Last hitting
This is just some information about last hitting on Ezreal.

As an ad carry you ofcourse always want to have high farm. Here's the goals you of minions you want to have.
10min's:70-85 cs (creep slain).
20min's:130-160 cs.
30min's:200+ cs.

What makes it easier to last hit with Ezreal compared to other ad carries is that he can easily grab minions from a far range with Mystic Shot and stack up his Rising Spell Force to give him 50% extra attack speed, always make sure to have 5stacks as much as possible in lane (its easy to keep the stacks up without goin out of mana since your Mystic Shot is low mana cost and low cooldown. Trueshot Barrage can also be very useful if you want to push up your lane to enemy turret really quickly.

when drag starts to be popular you want to have your Trinity Force for enough damage output.
Always try to poke your Mystic Shot- Essence Flux be4 possible drag fights so you got full stacked passive for more attackspeed/more lifesteal.

Be4 fights, both small and big, make up a list in your head for the targets you want to focus most to least, then in the fight you pick the easiest target to hit, if there is 2 targets that you can hit, take the one that is highest up on the list. In that way youre always focusing a high threated target. Also when killing drag Hit your allies with Essence Flux to give them and yourself increased attackspeed.

when every1 has lots of gear Ezreal falls of abit compared to some of the other ad carrys. But always remember to fight with a redbuff since your Mystic Shot applies on hit effects this will give you much more damage output/poke.

The way you wanna use your Trueshot Barrage in late game is either using it be4 going into a fight or save it until its ending and try to snipe down an escaping enemy.

In teamfights the ad carrys positioning can be game changing, always tell your support to block incoming spells for you, slow down champions who tries to run up to you so its easier to kite and take them down and always keep yourself in the back line.

In late game Baron will be huge and probably cause a couple of fights. If the fight is inside the baron pit you should always ulti into it, not save it to chase down at the end since you will probably hit 4-5 targets inside the Baron pit.

Ezreal is also a monster at killing the Baron with his Mystic Shot spam and passive, so dont hesitate to do a sneeky Baron if your team got a big advantage and pink ward/oracle. And if your running Cleanse always save it for Exhaust, it really increases your chances to do more dmg. Though going Ignite gives you higher killing pressure in lane. Also try to hit your W on the attackspeed relying champions in your team to incrase his attackspeed in fights. Also remember to buy some flasks if you sense a baron fight is close.
