Ezreal is actually the ADC that initially inspired me to start maining ADC, although it was so long ago that I'd almost forgotten that myself. His kit is very fun, and feels extremely rewarding to master given his high skill ceiling.

I hope you enjoy reading the guide as much as I enjoyed writing it, and most importantly, that you take everything you can from it! And if you do enjoy it, upvotes are very much appreciated!


Ezreal's main weakness is his early-game, where he has many losing matchups and even his winning matchups are nothing to brag about. However, as opposed to someone like Tristana, Ezreal can easily work around his early-game weakness thanks to his ability to last-hit from a long distance thanks to Mystic Shot, especially post- Tear of the Goddess when his mana pool stops being an issue and have decent trades if you can land your Essence Flux. Thus while you may find it easy to form a lead over Ezreal in the early-game, it's almost impossible to actually shut him down into irrelevancy.

His biggest strength is his mid-game powerspike upon upgrading Manamune into Muramana alongside his Trinity Force or Iceborn Gauntlet, a powerspike that's generally met between 20-23 minutes into the game. At this moment Ezreal becomes the strongest ADC in the game until reaching 3-4 items, at which point he falls off slightly but still remains a strong late-game ADC.

And most importantly, as previously mentioned Ezreal is a very high skill ceiling ADC due to his reliance on skillshots. This makes him a champion that greatly rewards time spent playing and practicing him, since improvement on Ezreal generally tends to yield greater results than improvement on other ADC's (though other ADC's are easier to improve on). Time spent mastering Ezreal will never go to waste, and this is also transferrable onto other skillshot reliant champions.
