Thanks to Searz for the awesome guide format!

I will not go through what the abilities do. It can easily be learned by reading the ability tooltips and simply using the spell.

Hybrid Ezreal is maybe the best way to play him. Because: AD only builds are best only early-game and AP only builds are very hard in the beginning, but ownz late-game. So: AP build + AD build = all-game ownage.

I prefer doing 9/0/21 because it provides good CDR, mana and MS.

Of course you can go 21/0/9 as it provides good AD early game, but becomes useless late game.

Recommended:

Stay away from:

Q > E > Q > E > Q > R > Q > E > Q > E > R > W > E > W > W > R > W > W

First, max out Mystic Shot, because you're AD in the beginning and this is your only AD skill.

Second, max out Arcane Shift, because this is your escape/chase skill + you will need this when you start going AP.

And lastly, max out Essence Flux, which will be your second spammable skill and at that point you will have some solid AP.

1: Doran's Blade 2: Boots 3: Sheen

4: Ionian Boots of Lucidity 5: Manamune 6: Guinsoo's Rageblade

7: Lich Bane 8: Rabadon's Deathcap 9: Void Staff

First get Doran's Blade. This provides good survivability as well as some good damage.

Second, try and farm 1610 gold for your Boots + Sheen.

Next, buy your Manamune. This is the point where you start making some kills. Just keep spamming Mystic Shot and when he falls under 50% just Arcane Shift > Mystic Shot > Ignite > hit once and he's down.

After that, just keep going with the build.

Oh, and don't forget to buy an Elixir of Fortitude / Elixir of Brilliance when you have a little gold left - it only costs 250.

The laning phase is pretty much like the other champions'. Keep last hitting minions and spam Mystic Shot on your enemies.

At the beginning of a team fight you should execute your Trueshot Barrage. This will lower your opponents' health to around 50% which will make the team fight a lot easier. You just need to hit as many enemies as you can. After that just spam Arcane Shift, Essence Flux and Mystic Shot.

Late game, when you get your AP items you will start to pwn hard. When a team fight breaks out, you will seriously injure everyone with your Trueshot Barrage. And with Lich Bane your Mystic Shot will hit for around 600 damage every 2 seconds.
