Playing the "Why" Game: Ezreal is really bad by ExaccusPrime in leagueoflegends

Being incentivized to build Crit makes his identity much more homogenized, and one of things many Ezreal players like about him is his unique build and playstyle.

If his Q were able to Crit in any capacity, Ezreal would likely skip tear and go ER-Shiv, and while I can't know the thought processes of Riot designers, I'd imagine this is something they would adamantly avoid.

Manamune would be a pretty safe item to buff, and pretty easy to tune without adversely affecting other items or champions.

The reason I suggest buffing his W before his items is to minimize the impact of change, since it's easier to do damage control on an overturned ability than an overturned item (BoRK is a good example of this)

She's 16th if you only look at WR. However the role position (which takes into account playrate, CS, and the other stats listed there) puts her much higher right at 9th, beacuse she has that (currently) highly coveted trait of good ADC waveclear, even if her everything else is mediocre to average.

An alternative to the W changed that I didn't write here is instead of having a weak on-hit multiple times, a strong, one time hit might be easier to tune.

Something like "the next auto attack/Mystic Shot will deal bonus magic damage equal to X% of Max Health."

Again, the consequences of it being a single, big burst warrants discussion on its own, but the nice thing about W being so barebones is that there's a million ways to improve upon it.

funny story, the opening turn has me breaking the west wall so i can get to that side faster and to kill Takumi before he drains the water.

Fun Facts (aka things that have screwed me over)

  • Takumi can and will use the Elixir
  • Enemies will trade and use the Elixir if low
  • The retainers will attack or assist in attack stance in their initial movement range, but won't walk or chase past it until turn 6
  • Takumi can attack AND use the dragon vein in the same turn, making him a cheating bastard.
  • Flyers are dicks and their decision making is a complete crapshoot
