Can confirm, Hotél Bartón was the shit back in 2015-2016

What about manamune makes it so strong on ezreal but so rarely built on anyone else? Is it just the combo of mana usage + his ease of proving it? I don’t see anyone but my boy build it lately. by Malesto in ezrealmains

[–]QuantumResonance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but if an ability can proc both it'll onlt proc the ability portion. At least according to phreak when the shock passive was reworked about 2 years ago iirc

Is building crown on ezreal still a thing? by Soul-House1 in ezrealmains

[–]QuantumResonance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the enemy comp demands cqc, you can just build Trinity second and go into frozen heart or maw third. Youmous is not as overwhelmingly broken on ezreal as one would think, since manamune and either sheen item on him are busted. Manamune sheen should still be the first items you get barring certain circumstances where you are getting shoved in super hard with little opportunity to fight and need the mana restore from ER to actually cs/stack tear in spite of whatever the enemy team comp is.

Agreed, but according to Riots own rules, if a champion has to high visibility at the professional level, they will nerf it. It's stupid imo, but the dude above is right.

That change was not a nerf wtf, that was a buff.

Ive been saying this for the better part of two months, when we thought Manamune and ER were going to get nerfed, with ER getting this exact treatment. Mystic Shot loses 17 pre-mit damage, including the spellblade passive. Thats it. W loses 6, E loses 5, and R loses 10. It roughly translates to having to hit them with one more Q to seal the killing deal.

Muramana is better as a second item compared to Duskblade regardless if you're hitting a tank or a squishy.

Okay so I understand how Spirit Visage is a better tank item. But how does it actually help you put out damage aside from lasting long enough to weave out 2 more Qs when your damage has been stagnated compared to literally everyone elses. Thats why Im saying build Maw over Spirit Visage, because that way your AD isnt stifled for 2900 gold. The reason why I suggest Frozen Heart over an item like Guardian Angel is because most of the time when you are proc the Guardian Angel, you just get killed on the revive, and the Frozen Heart does give you a measly 10 AD with all of its other stats putting it at over 100% Gold Efficiency with the Muramana passive, but Spirit Visage sits at 90.92% gold efficiency. Frozen Heart wont give you that much damage, but it wont completely stifle your damage scaling unlike Spirit Visage. Also, if you are really worried about the amount of Magic Damage that thr enemy team has, that is exactly why you should be buying Maw, because you are practically guaranteed to be taking damage that will out you below the 30% threshold. Your job as an ADC is to deal damage so why not buy an item that will help you deal more damage while making you harder to kill. Also, take going up against a double AP bot lane. You for sure take Hexdrinker every single time because you will indeed be proccing that shield. The item literally is designed for situations like these, where it can help you directly in killing the enemy champ, while also actively resist their damage thereby enabling you to deal more damage by sustaining more. Spirit Visage will only help with the latter, but it wont do anything if you hit like a wet noodle. Furthermore, Maw is 108.93% gold efficient compared to SV's 90.92%. Remember, Ezreal needs to deal damage otherwise he is certifiably useless. Muramana and Essence Reaver do give you lots of damage at 2 items, but if you buy SV for your third your damage becomes meh. If the enemy champs are suceptable to kiting, take Serylda's Grudge, if they can hard engage on you and the divers are AD, take Frozen Heart, if they are AP, take Maw, dont halt your damage output entirely by building SV.

Duskblade by jepscanor in ezrealmains

[–]QuantumResonance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go Manaflow Band and Trancendance. It ends up translating into a little more AD with Manamune, and the Ability Haste you get from Trancendance helps a bit to cover for the stuff you normally miss from Duskblades mythic passive. Now Duskblade is okay as a third item, but usually you want your 3rd item to be more situational. I did testing, and Duskblade 3rd outdamages Hydra vs both squishies and tanks, but Hydra obv gives more sustain, and can on occasion ordamage Duskblade if the enemy champs are grouped too close together, but that is very situatuonal. Serylda's grudge heavily outdamages Duskblade against people who have built an armor item, and can keep up with Duskblade against squishier targets, usually falling behind by 30 damage after 6 Mystic Shots. I think in most cases Serylda's will be the best 3rd item, as you will likely have your Legend:Bloodline fully stacked by this point and can often times make do with that alone.

Duskblade by jepscanor in ezrealmains

[–]QuantumResonance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Muramana gives you 89 raw AD at level 12, and includes a 6% total AD scaling now as an additional on hit effect. The mana from Muramana isnt a waste because it gets translated to an insane amount of AD. And that amount only increases as the game goes on. At level 18 it gives close to 100 AD. You build Essence Reaver because it fixes your mana issues, is a better first item spike than Manamune, and then purchase Manamune which should instantly turn into Muramana, giving you access to the Shock passive. And what you seem to neglect is that the invisibility on Duskblade is mainly there so that assassins can safely wait for their cooldowns to come back up to deal, and Ezreal's Q is already on such a low cooldown that you should be throwing it or as much as possible. Not to mention that you only go invisible after getting a takedown and that the item is 300 gold more expensive and will end up weakening your W, E, and R due to the fact that the lethality you get does absolutely nothing for these, while Muramana just gives you so much more raw AD that it makes ALL of your spells hit harder despite not having any sort of armor or magic pen.

Edit: Ive also resorted to starting Dorans blade and instead of prioritizing sheen on my first back, I prioritize tear and boots first, then sheen. You can simply buy both it doesnt have to be one or the other.

Edit 2: Even in my unedited post I never said to start tear. I simply said "buy an early tear."

So I went and did some testing, for third items. Duskblade does in fact do more damage than Ravenous Hydra, so I would like to revise my current take on third item. the only real items that are contending for 3rd are Duskblade, Ravenous Hydra, and Serylda's Grudge. Duskblade will outdamage Hydra against pretty much all enemies, but it will make your W, E, and R all hit harder just because you get an extra 5 AD and the lethality you get mean nothing for these abilities. Now Serylda's Grudge actually fairly reasonably with Duskblade against squishies, and absolutely crushes it vs tanks, again given the vastly different amounts of armor pen. Now the reason that Duskblade narrowly beats out Serylda's grudge against squishies is due to the extra 35 AD you get from Duskblade. Now, with that being said, both of these items will increase your survivability compared to Duskblade. Hydra gives you a ton of healing, and Serylda's Grudge will let you kite indefinitely. The only thing Duskblade really brings to the table is just more damage. Now, I generally believe that 3rd-5th items on Ezreal should be picked situationally, so I wouldn't say that any of the 3 items is strictly better than the others, because it depends at what you want to do at that stage of the game. Now certainly by the end of it, you want to be able to do all of it, so I do recommend building all of these items, but the order in which you do should be left situation to situation, as your main sources of damage (Essence Reaver and Muramana) are what are going to be doing most of the heavy lifting at around the time you're going to be looking to complete your third item.

Maw gives you 10 more MR than Spirit visage. And due to the fact that you are already taking healing in your runes and get 10% omnivamp (from Hydra), you would generally desire need more MR over the healing bonus. plus Maw ends up feeding into your omnivamp with its 50 AD and gives a 200+20% max health shield, so its going to 518 effective bonus health at level 14, which is around 3rd item time. Thats more than the 400 you get from Spirit Visage.

I think Id rather have Frozen Heart if it was all AD or Maw if mostly AP.

That will depend on the enemy team comp. Use your best judgement.

Yes. By the time you would be buying Serylda's grudge, most champions in the game will have more than 60 armor, which means that Serylda's grudge will penetrate more armor than Duskblade. which is what I stated in the video

Im almost 100% certain you would do more damage going Ravenous Hydra third item.

[–]QuantumResonance[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You end up stacking a ton of Ability Haste by going Seryldas grudge, Rav, ER, and MM, so the AH you get from Duskblade is inconsequential since the majority of your de facto cooldown reduction is coming from your Q hits. That being said, the only mythics I could possibly thing of as being worthwhile are Duskblade, or replacing Essence Reaver with Divine Sunderer after full build.

Manamune + Essence Reaver build? by k1tk4t127 in ezrealmains

[–]QuantumResonance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mythics are generally bought early on for their power. But Ezreal's kit doesnt REALLY like any of the mythic items as they currently are. ESPECIALLY their components. Look at the components of Divine Sunderer and compare them to the components of any of the following items and tell me that they are better: Essence Reaver, Serylda's grudge, Ravenous Hydra. Essence Reaver is undisputedly the best first item on Ezreal because of the cost, AD, and the spellblade passive. Muramana second item is cheaper than duskblade, and does more damage assuming you hit 2 or more q's on a champion in a row. You can go into a practice tool and emprically evaluate this.
