Thx to you, Searz

You've got 18armor pen from runes, they are viable on an ap build too.

This build isn't bad. But you always gotta do a proper comparison to the old way to build when trying something new out.
Glad to see that you're open for new things atleast :)

I don't see why this was rated down. It's a good build and I can see you put some serious effort into it. +1 from me.

That comparison is insanely biased.. When your ad build deals more autoattack dmg than a pure ad build that's the only conclusion availible.. You really can't call that a proper comparison..

I'll make a proper comparison:

AD:
+ Best autoattack dmg.
+ Best Mystic Shot dmg.
+ Hard to counter. (it's just as hard to counter an ez with bloodrazor as it is to counter a hybrid ez)
- Worst dmg on other spells.
(also has more movespeed, but won't include that)

AP:
+ Best spell dmg.
+ A bit better mystic shot dmg than hybrid
- Mana heavy.
- Worst autoattack dmg.

Hy:
+ Hard to counter.
+ Better autoattack dmg than AP
+ Better spell dmg than AD
- Mana heavy.
- Worst mystic shot dmg. You'll have a much smaller bonus from the "on hit proc" and +15armor pen. But 15ArP does in fact not give more dmg than what an ap item would give.. Since this is Ezreal's most important skill I don't like hybrid..

If you want to focus on Mysric Shot only, you have to go AD. Why does Mystic Shot scale with AP? Well, if you bought a Lichbane it scales 1:1 + your AD, but you'll lack Armor Penetration. And I don't think you got my point, too. I know that my Mystic Shot will deal less damage than with a pure AD-Ezreal and my other abilities will deal less damage than with an AP-Ezreal, however I will deal more damage with my Mystic Shot than with an AP-Ezreal an my other abilities will deal more damage than with a pure AD-Ezreal. I split my damage, that's right, but that doesn't have to reduce my total damage output. I'm just more versatile. I can counter my opponents better than you with an AD- or AP-Ezreal. Think about it. You don't want to stick to a single build. They are just examples what you could do.

Hextech Gunblade was in my corebuild. I know how powerful it is. You could use it instead of The Bloodthirster imo.

So here's my pro's/con's-list for ezreal-playstyes:

AD-Ezreal:
+ great early/midgame
+ decent autoattack-damage
+ Mystic Shot will deal much damage
+ mana friendly
- difficult to focus ranged carries in teamfights
- doesn't use his other abilities much
- easy to counter
- other abilities will deal almost no damage

AP-Ezreal:
+ a lot of AoE-Damage -> able to focus ranged carries
+ uses all his abilities
+ other abilities will deal much damage
- Mystic Shot doesn't deal that much damage before Lichbane
- weak autoattack-damage
- relatively bad early/midgame
- mana intensive
- easy to counter

My Hybrid-Ezreal:
+ some nice AoE-Damage
+ good autoattack-damage
+ strong early/midgame (weaker than AD-Ezreal ofc)
+ uses all his abilities equally (better than AP-Ezreal)
+ flexibility
+ difficult to counter
- Mystic Shot will deal less damage than with a pure AD-Ezreal
- other abilities will deal slightly less damage than with an AP-Ezreal

My AD-Ezreal:
+ some AoE-Damage (way weaker than AP-Ezreal ofc)
+ very good autoattack-damage
+ really strong early/midgame (don't underestimate Trueshot Barrage)
+ uses all his abilities (but they not as much as powerful as Hybrid or AP but way more than AD)
+ flexibility
- Mystic Shot will deal slightly less damage than with a pure AD-Ezreal
- other abilities will deal way less damage than with an AP-Ezreal

Dude, I think you fail to grasp what me and Jeffy really are saying..

Let me make it clear for you. Going hybrid is a bad idea with ezreal.
Why? Because the items that makes his Mystic Shot do crazy dmg only gives AD or AP in bonus dmg. Spreading the bonuses out will just make you ineffective.

As for the rageblade; ofc, I know how it works. But the item is rather bad on an AD build.. Great for an AP build though.
Hextech Gunblade would be a much better choice for ad ez simply because it gives almost twice the amount of AD and some lifesteal.

@Searz:
Changed my runes and masteries.
And btw I don't think I loose damagewise to an AD build. My three other skills do way more damage than a "normal" AD-Ezreal. A well placed Trueshot Barrage with some Magic Penetration can decide teamfights, just try my new AD-Ezreal out.

@JEFFY40HANDS:
Same as above, I think Ezreals strength is his flexibility. When playing my Hybrid Ezreal Mystic Shot looses to a "normal" AD-Ezreal at around lvl 9. But instead your other abilities are way more powerful. If you decide to go fo my new AD-Ezreal your Mystic Shot will regain its power. Just keep the Lizard Buff on you.

Rageblade: Rageblade is kinda funny on Ezreal. It works with his passive.
ex.: You fire your Trueshot Barrage in your opponents -> 5 stacks on his passive + all the Trueshot Barrage hits => 8 stacks on Rageblade
Same goes with all your abilities.

Gunblade: I realized that it was a waste for AD-Ezreal. It still is a great hybrid item though. You just split up your damage as Hybrid Ezreal and don't focus your damage.

My new Core-Ezreal is cheaper and more effective. After the Core-Build, you check what the match looks like.
If you feel you need more Physical Damage -> My new AD-Ezreal
If you feel you need more Magical Damage -> My new Hybrid-Ezreal

The current/next nerf is/will be not that much of a problem imo.
- 2.6 base AD
- 0.6 AD per level (-10.8 @18)
- 0.44% AS per level (-7,92% @18)
- 5/10/15/20/25 damage on Mystic
+ Mana Cost reduced to 70/80/90/100/110 from 80/90/100/110/120 (Essence Flux)

Maybe it's just my playstyle, but I think it works fine. The only alternative build I see viable for him is pure AD-Ezreal.
Meki Pendant -> Chalice of Harmony -> Boots of Speed -> The Brutalizer -> Mercury's Treads -> Trinity Force -> The Black Cleaver -> The Bloodthirster -> Youmuu's Ghostblade

I think by splitting the fence between AP/AD you lose out on A LOT of killing potential. Your build permits you to go either physical or magic, but the versitility is lost in the the cost effectiveness. By sticking to either a lot of AP with some AD or a lot of AD with some AP you decide to give us a core build with some of both and then say build these other items towards the end depending on the situation. It's just not effective.

Rageblade is nice but it's more useful on a champion like Kennen or even Twitch where autoattacks have a secondary effect. Kennen stuns and Twitch poisons. Ez....Well Mystic Shot is on such a short cool down you get maybe 1 auto attack off before you can use MS again thus rageblade's benefit to more AP/AD and AS is meh in comparison to going pure AP or AD. The AD and AP on the item does not justify the cost considering the passive is kind of bad for Ez. Imho of course.

Gunblade: Same issue with the rageblade. The cost does not justify the use with Ez. Sure the CC/ Damage is OK, but you're not benefitting from the way Ez is generally played. You weaken the overall strength Ez has by trying to make it a well rounded damage set up.

Your core build leaves 2 item spaces after placing your wards. The variety you want is missplaced if you have to split your last 2 items. So rather than getting somewhere near 400AD or AP you can have 200AP and 200AD (Estimates meant to just kinda show where you'll be at overall not literally. Youll probably get 250 or so AD or AP depending on the items you choose and if you can actually build them.)The obvious issue being that you really don't hit hard on either end of the spectrum and you hit even less against tanks. Overloading AP or AD at least lets you benefit from focusing on either Magic Pen or Armor Pen and the added fact you'll hit A LOT HARDER.

Just leaving my thoughts not gonna +/- you. The idea is solid and a hybrid is a great thing but you just play too middle of the road with your core items to allow for a devestating Champion. And yes I understand the point of being a hybrid is to be able to go either way AD/AP but you just lack overall damage on either side to be as effective as someone who goes staright AD or AP. If it works for you then keep it up but my pure AD 25/7/11 Ezreal is how I see myself playing him...Until they nerf him into the ground and make him worthless to play.

Why would you get magic pen in marks? You have percental magic penetration already, why not go for armor pen instead? (which also give the double amount)

There's a reason why most ppl get 21 points in one mastery tree. The bonuses at the end are awesome. You should get one of them...

But as a whole I don't think hybrid ezreal is very viable.. Since the "on hit" items (Tforce & LichB) only give one stat in bonus dmg it's a bad idea getting points in both stats. You lose overall dmg.. The only ap item I would even consider getting with an ad build is Hextech Gunblade. But that's because the item is almost op now after the buff.
