dont let yourself get poked from her W and avoid here ult.
Kog'Maw
Try to avoid his W dmg.
Kog'Maw always comes with Lulu so ehm yea either your support/jungle helps you shut him down or its just game tbh.
Ziggs
Don' get poked and it should be easy game.
Vayne
Vayne can only all in or poke in 3. Try to poke her down while keeping yourself away from walls and all-in attempts (vayne's attempts)
Yasuo
Try to poke him with Autos and Q/W when he tries to last hit.
If he gets his 3rd Q try to avoid it as much as possible otherwise it could end up badly.
Jhin
Dont get hit by his empowered Q and his 4th shot.
Draven
Try to poke him down in the early early game. If he gets his Lifesteal, either go anti heal for potentially all-in wins or just farm up for your 2 item powerspike.
Sivir
Dont get hit by here Q and Avoid giving her free value of her spellshield
Tristana
If her jump is off cd dont try to all in except if she is low from your poke.
If your E is on cd and her jump is not, then just farm with your Q
Twitch
Don't let him cheese you with his invisibility
Miss Fortune
Avoid her Q and Passive dmg. If you see a good opportunity to all-in, take it, cause Fortune has a rater weak all-in without here ult.
Jinx
Jinx is dependent on her support early, so if the enemy support mispositions try to all-in jinx, in a way that YOU don't misposition.
Samira
Just ban her. She literally counters your whole kit.
Caitlyn
Just avoid her passive, her Net, and her Q. If she, for some reason wastes her Net, just go all-in if possible.
Kalista
Avoid her Q
Kai'Sa
Avoid giving her a full Isolated Q. And never give her a 5 stack passive proc.
Varus
Try to juke his poke while giving him some of yours.
Xayah
Avoid her Feathers.
Lucian
Don't get poked from his Q.
Akshan
Avoid getting cheesed from his W. And also avoid his Q.
Sona
Poke her if she tries to poke you, or all-in if she missteps.
Maokai
Avoid the Brushes aswell as going near him.
Blitzcrank
Blitz hook goes brrrrrrrrr.
Just E away from him if the hook nearly grabs you.
Zilean
Try juking his Bombs
Rell
E away if she tries to jump on you
Bard
Avoid his Portal cheeses aswell as his Q through minions
Zyra
Don't get rooted. Btw you can oneshot the plants with your Q
Taric
Just don't get to close for his stun.
And expect a flash, stun combo if he plays with a solid early adc.
Soraka
ANTI HEAL and also avoid her Q otherwise your poke will not do anything. (we both know your support will run into that ability)
Janna
Try to poke her if she tries to poke you with a quick AA+Q combo, otherwise her shield will negate all dmg from your Q or AA.
Nami
She will always try to poke with her heal so ehm i have no advice on her.
Leona
You may take cleanse if she is your enemy
Braum
Can counter your kit with one ability if he's good enough. You can still poke him down if he oversteps.
Brand
Juke his W as much as possible you even have the option to farm with Q so no worries. You might aswell back of if he already hit you with 2 abilities in a row.
Pyke
Pyke has a lot of ways to get on top of you, but my advice against him is E right before his hook his you if you want to look first, where he shots.
Lulu
Avoid stepping to close to her because there is a big chance she uses E on you and afterwards Q for insane dmg, at least in the early game.
Xerath
If you have an all-in support go doran's blade otherwise shield
Vel'Koz
Just avoid stepping to close for his stun and his Q is easily avoidable with your minions.
Senna
If she runs Glacial Augment and tries to get a stack from you just try to pump out some dmg on her.
Rakan
Avoid stepping to close to him because of his W.
Alistar
If he jumps on you press E as fast as possible to avoid getting cc chained for an easy kill
Thresh
If he charges a hook and you cant take cover behind minions as well as he is a bit to close to you, you might aswell just press E immediately.
Nautilus
His hook is easily avoidable with E. His Ult on the other hand is literally unavoidable so be prepared to have an escape plan at all times.
Shaco
Avoid the brush
Morgana
Avoid her 3 year root, just dont get to close to her
Seraphine
Avoid all her poke attempts
Yuumi
You can try hiding behind minions to avoid her Q poke. Antiheal is also pretty good against her
Lux
Don't get rooted, aspecially if she has ult
Swain
Avoid his root
Karma
Don't stand to close to the minions.
Pantheon
Just farm up, no need to fight him. He will hard fall of anyways.
Sona

Zyra
If Zyra lands a good root, ALL-IN
Zilean
Depending on the Zilean. It could become a poke/all-in fiesta.

Easy Poke, also he is able to roam, without you being at a big risk of dying, cause you can farm safely with Q

Boring and Passive duo. Always waiting for enemy mistakes.

Hello Guys, and welcome to this Guide. I´m LightFeather and in this guide you will see what Ezreal's Pro's and Con's are aswell as some Early, Mid and Late Game Tips you might not have heard about before.
I´m an Ezreal, Pyke and Rakan main, with each having around a 60% winrate, hope you learn something here and have a great day.
I also would love it if you followed me on Youtube and Twitch but don't feel pressured to do so
Pro's and Con's
+ Good poke + Also decent AP scaling on every ability(except Q) that makes him viable to play as AP carry + Safe pick, can be blind picked + Build-in flash in kit + Long range abilities + Global ultimate
.
.
.
- Lack of cc - Weak early game - Kinda squishy - Needs some Mana-management early - Kinda hard to master - 3 abilites are skillshots
You are still and adc
Ezreal is a champ, that is more of the skillful side of champs to play, with the only reason being that he has *3* skillshots. But dont think, that you dont have to autoattack the enemy, because MOST of your dmg comes from autoattacks. Let me explain. If you use an ability always make sure to autoattack before using the next ability if you want strong dps instead of burst, BUT, there is a wrong and right way to aa after an ability. The Right Way is, to use like Mystic Shot and instantly if the animation finished to RIGHTCLICK on the enemy to get the auto out as fast as possible
Laning Phase
In most Matchups buy a Doran's Blade and a potion.
If you're against heavy poke, feel free to get a Doran's Shield instead.
You can also go Tear of the Goddess first but it has no combat stats, making you even weaker in the early game, but you scale a bit faster.
Be sure to max Q out, and put a point into E at lvl 2.
Be aware that if you dont have Tear of the Goddess, that you can run out of mana really quickly, so manage your mana.
Your goal is to poke the enemy whenever possible, when they try to farm. You can also safely use your Q to farm minions that they may try to zone you out of. Play off your support, and take safe engages when needed. Just be aware that due to the auto attack nature of most bot lane carries, you tend to lose out in early all-ins. We're in it for the scaling.
At this time, you should at least already have 1 full item with 100cs+, the more the better. If you somehow won lane with their first tower gone,rotate to midlane(D up) or top(D down), depending on whether the drake is up or not. Always try to keep your cs high, otherwise you dont scale.
[[Ezreal] is super annoying for the enemy team to deal with, as he will just constantly poke and peck at them until they either force a fight or retreat.
At 2 full Item's, Ezreal become a whole different breed.
He has one of the strongest 2 Item powerspike in the game, being able to assassinate an assassin, if he hit's his shot's ofc.
Late Game/Closing Remarks
This is when Ezreal really begins to shine.
You'll have 3-4 items, a TON of ability haste, and be extremely strong.
Play fights out slow. Use your Flash when needed honestly, as you'll have your E up almost all the time.
Surviving and escaping is much more important than cooldowns.
Also feel free to use your Trueshot Barrage as a means of finding vision on objectives, as the cooldown is so insanely low due to your Q lowering CD on all things.
Using your ult at the start of fights (during the all too famous "LET'S ALL ARAM MID FOR NO REASON" phase of solo Q) to chunk down the enemy is very useful as well.
As a whole Ezreal is a very rewarding champion.
He has a higher skill cap and learning curve than other auto attack based champions, but can easily be learned.
Think of him as a caster based champion/mage that plays in the bot lane.
Work on your skillshots, and the results will go far.
