So I just bought Ezreal and I really like him but i dont think i do enough damage. Early game I am fine but late game I'm just an easy kill. What do I build and how do I play him? Ad, Ap, Hybrid? I must be doing something wrong here.
Anyone feel like smurfing??

Ezreal is usually played AD, some people tend to play him AP, but that's the minority.
AD Ezreal is an early and midgame beast while he tends to fall off lategame, that's nor your fault, it's the Champ.
Ap Ezreal however is rather weak early and gets stronger the longer the game lasts.
He also has higher burst, but lower sustained damage.
While AD Ezreal relies on his AA, passive steroids and Q to deal damage, AP Ezreal uses the full skillset for a combo.

I would recommend you to read through some of the Guides here on MOBAFire if you need further information!

AD Ez is stronger then AP Ez because the Q hits so strong with AD. But as soon as a AP Ezreal gets his Lichbane with a good chunk of AP he outpowers AD Ez easily. As alrdy said AD Ez is stronger early, AP Ez stronger late

Pros of AD Ez: Sustained damage. Better early game.
Cons of AD Ez: His main damage dealer is a skillshot that can be blocked by another enemy.

Pros of AP Ez: Stronger end game. Massive global damage on a relatively small CD. Stronger burst damge.
Cons of AP Ez: Weak Early game. Burst requires your escape skill. Bad farmer.

IMO, it comes down to preference. I personally use a hybrid with leaning more towards AD.

Personally AD is the way to go, lategame is not weak, is just not amazing, yet with control over lizard buff and the good farming he provides you'll have plenty of items to make up for his lack of strong lategame.
Also if you build a [[wriggle's lantern] early on him you can basically 2 man baron with your jungler at lvl 14.

AP ezreal is said to have a stronger lategame, but really is not hard to find teams stacking mr if you do well, since 2 main MR items are basically steroid for anyone.

For all you questions about jungling

I play AD and it just kills! good early mid and late-game! I follow this AD-guide and it's just awesome.. I think the difference is the trinity force. Don't get it for AD build.. ofc you can argue that it's still worth it but it costs a lot of money and doesn't really give AD at all (apart from zeal which you should use to get phantom dancer).

Ppl can say all they want, but who really goes for AS and Crit (PD??? Th MS yeah, but gold waste for the other stats) on him..... laughable.

TF is not cheap, but since Ez can't be build like a normal ADC it adds up.

AD with triforce if you're playing him seriously. AP Ezreal has never impressed me and hybrid builds just suck.
