Introduction~

Welcome to my Ezreal Guide.
Ezreal was my first champion that i have ever played and is still my favorite. I finaly decidedd that i could share my experience and knowlege about Ezreal to the public.
So set back and enjoy the Mysticism of Skillshots and Flashes.

Knowing Ezreal/Pros & Cons

Ezreal is a ranged carry that can be build either as an AD or AP carry. He is more focused on casting abilities while attacking from afar with basic attacks, both dealing comparable damage.
AD Ezreal is a great farmer, while AP is not. He is an epic teamfight champion, being able to reduse Attack Speed of Enemies and Buff the AS of alies. He deals alot of AoE damage with and . He is verry fragile. His Aracne SHift fires a homing projectile that attacks the closest enemy, which means it will not always hit who you are targeting. Ezreal is slow. He has a good early game if played aggresive and carefull. A good Ezreal can end teamfights before they are even started by killing major targets. He is really succseptable to burst damage. His only solid espace is and if taken, once they are down Ezreal is one of the easiest carries to kill.

Considarable Tips and Usefull Tricks~

Brush Checking

By aiming Mystic Shot in brushes and watching your cooldowns while listening for the Mystic Shot's hit sound, and watching your passive stack, you can see if enemies are hiding in a brush.

Pushing

If you decide to take Essence Flux a bit early, you can use it to take down towers/ assist in kiling by buffing AS of that Vayne you can take out a tower roughly at the 7 minute mark. Or if you're the solo, fire your other abilities at minions so you gain your Rising Spell Force Attack Speed bonus.

Maximum Damage

You should always line up your other spells by using Arcane Shift first, then you should always fire Essence Flux Before Mystic Shot because it's passive reduces the cooldowns on your other two spells.

Even tho it's a channeled ultimate, simular to Lux's finales funkeln being CC'd will not cancel the ability, so it's best used when you see a Sion's criptic gaze coming for you in a teamfight, so you can still deal damage while being disabled.
Never be afraid to farm with Trueshot Barrage. It's cooldown is rather low for such a high damage ability. If you spam Mystic Shot on minions after use you could use it again in 15 minutes if you can support the mana for all those shots.
If you take Clairvoyance, which you should in high ELO games, at 5 minutes you should check the enemy wraiths for a jungler, because if he is a lower tier jungler you should be able to kill him.

Checking for enemies killing Baron/Dragon

If you suspect enemies doing a high-priority creeps, like Baron, Dragon, Blue, Red or even the wolfs you should fire Essence Flux through the wall as it only hits enemy and alied champions.

Runes~

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

Marks:

I take Greater Mark of Desolation to counter that pesky armor on that AP Mid/enemy carry bot.
Seals

Here i take Greater Seal of Armor to become more resistant to ganks because most junglers are AD and to be able to last a bit longer if their mid is an AD Sion for isntance.
Glyphs

Imo the Greater Glyph of Magic Resist is most important part because 95% of the time the mid is AP, therefor you need to be resistant to their attacks. umad enemy mid?
Guintessences

I think that the Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed counters Ezreal's general slowness, which makes up for his extreme range skillshots,global ultimate and blink, with these you will be able to outrun anyone.
Umad enemy Yi?

Note: You Can easily change the Rune Set, eg from Greater Mark of Desolation to Greater Mark of streight or Greater seal of resiliance to . It all depends on your playstyle, but these are my recomended.

Masteries~

Here is the cheatsheet Offence I think it's pretty straightforward. for that attack damage and to be able to farm easier, then going for attack speed and CDR with and . That 10% armor penetration from is good throughout the game. Havoc stacks with . 's flat armor pen always comes before % like or .
In Defence you should take two points in both and ...to gain a blanace in both masteries...then you go for HP/l with and then an extra 30 with .

Summoner Spells~

RECOMMENDED SPELLS

This is really usefull for Ezreal, especially if he's a sniper. It also helps in the current META where the support takes and the AD Carry bot takes . Use it whenever it's off cooldown.

A double Flash can always help you escape from scary situations like a 3 man gank(eg: , and ), It's somewhat better than because it dousn't fire a homing projectile if escaping into the jungle. If you use you might hit a wraith, pulling aggro and if you're really low on health you'll die.

A great spell for intertimiate Ezreal. To gain gain the upper hand or to escape. I prefer tho.

If you think that is good enough take this to roam the map faster, but you can always use to help the lanes...if you hit.

GOOD SPELLS

If you feel too fragile or you're following the current META, overall you wont need it that much because you should safly attack from a range. and if you see your health going down just use + , fire your and gtfo.

A video explanation for this spell is avable here

A good spell that removes CC and then adds a 75% tancity, but i find it useless, you can channel your while disabled, and you can (double)flash through walls.

PLEASE DON'T

This fits Hybrid Ezreal more, but too bad, you're not hybrid.

Recomended Boots~

Above are all the goods boots for . It's up to you which you'll buy and use for evry situation. But i always buy .

are the most common boots on carries, but i don't find them fitting on because he isn't your normal carry, you should, however, buy them if you buy .

are Riot's recommended boots, which arent half bad at all, less CD on your = more damage. Nice but not best.

are the boots that i take evry game. They are my favorite and help me get away from almost any gank. Double flash + huge movement speed is kinda game breaking.

are the most viable boots atm, but you don't need that that much because you can deal damage while disabled, however, if you're against a 5-stunbot team you'd be mad not to buy them.

are those that you need against a team of s'(eg: , , , ). Just to be safe.

Items~

CORE ITEMS

You should start off by rushing after you buy and then turn them into any boots of those listen above. Then you buy if you have a good start for that early CDR and armor penetration advantage. Or if you feel that you don't need that item go ahed and start building last wisper because can't do any damage vs high-high armor enemies. After you finish last wkisper start building by starting from .

FOLLOWING ITEMS

After finishing start building by starting with a . After you finish start building because at this point you have a passive "taunt" that makes evryone focus you.

SITUATIONAL AND OPTIONAL FINAL ITEM

At this point you have finished my build. I listed in the cheatsheet because evryone will start stacking armor against you, but last wisper negates it. So now to the list where iw ill list both offencive and deffencive items based on your needs for your final slot/replacing items.

Offencesive

A great item for Novice Ezreal, it gives armor, lifesteal, % to 1hit a minion(so to say) and a free ward.

Yes you already boughed one, but if you still think you need more lifesteal, buy another, as both will give you 200 damage and 40% life steal at max cap, which breaks , meaning you wont get any damage in return.

Ah, all carries hate armor on your victums, right? Well this cleaver somehow works on 's glove, making you shred armor like a boss. Also gives damage.

If you autoattack more than others, deffinatly buy this item early. Because dousn't proc crits, you will deal more damage with you autoattacks. The damage is epic and the crits will HURT.

If you desided to buy early, and don't want to sell it, you should upgrade it into this. It gives crits, damage, and a mini- So with his you might become Master .

Against high HP teams you really shoul buy this. It gives a tremendous amount of damage even against low % hp targets like + it gives some armor.

Deffensive

If you feel that you need more deffence over offence. You should buy this as you will have a quaranteed slow unlike . The health you gain over the damage is alot more, that's why i listed this here.

Against high ap team, this item is good but i think is better, for which i'll talk about in a bit

Self expanditory. To survive that /

Meaning Mouth of the Malmortius i imidetly think of . Now back to the item. I never really tried this item on but on paper it looks rather good on him. Giving him AD for hp missing, magic res and a nice little sheild that seems to work simular to 's . I think it's better for though.
