I hate to be DuffTime here, But i'm a little skeptical too. Ezreal Doesn't have much base health (relative to other tanky top laners like Darius). Ezreal has no real gap closer, while most generic top laners do. This forces ezreal to play defensive, since he cannot punish enemy solotops from getting close. Additionally, Ezreal has no means of natural sustainability, which most solotops either rush, or automatically acquire through abilities.

If you have evidence to suggest the antithesis to these points, I'd be delighted to hear them
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

No reason to. Why would you?

It'd work sure. He's mobile and it's safe. But why the hell would you?
Ezreal doesn't scale as well late compared to other possible candidates for top laners.

Only reason would be to counter-pick an enemy and shut him down.
But then again there are other champs who scale better.

^ It would only work until the more mobile gap closing top laners can just run him out of lane :P

The point of this is to have an ad-carry top lane or mid lane to have a blitzstar on bot lane.

But well, I think Urgot would fit that best.

So, why not say 'Blitzstar Bot Lane' to begin with?

wut?

I've done it a few times. Mainly vs singed. Gap closers will definitely give you problems, but if you pick well you can actually make it work nicely. Also ideal for your team to have tanky support + jungle.


Thinking about this makes me wanna try the std triforce>warmog>atma build though. :P

Then of course this was brought out ages ago.
People have done this with Vayne and Corki ages ago.
