Summoner Spells Back to Top

is pretty self explanatory but for those unclear of the reason for the decision, flash offers potential outplay, escape, and even allows you to close gap or get over wall to finish off that kill.

's Benefits are going to make it the most optimal second summoner spell choice, as it offers you and that occasional support a last second heal to rely upon, and a very brief movement speed increase

to help avoid the gank.

is a spell I would offer on nearly any carry in those really CC/explosive comps to give you the

best chance of surviving.

though is one of the last carries to be taking

on due to the

fact he has a built in Flash on a decently low cooldown. Although if you are not comfortable on

though it can be an OK option till you learn to use your e correctly.

is more of a mid lane

summoner spell to avoid some of those quick burst champions.

is also a mid lane

summoner spell but a very aggressive one that should be abused of early.

is not very optimal choice; if the enemy has a yi, zed, etc ask your support to run it if they already aren't.

RESOLVE

This is standard page for majority of ad carries, with the new change to Fervor of Battle, it can be considered

to run it as your q stacks this ability; But I would consider only doing this once you have experience as ezreal

as consistently landing q's is a must to have Fevor be worth it.

Secondary options for experienced "laners" you can experiment with going Fresh Blood and Greenfather's Gift,

this style of extra dmg in trading in lane can be extremely beneficial once you understand how to trade as ezreal

and/or a long time adc main

Abilities Back to Top

	Passive
Q	1		3		5		7		9
W				4										14	15		17	18
E		2						8		10		12	13
R						6					11					16

Q > E > W (R at 6/11/16)

Q is on a extremely short CD, more so if you connect with it making it the must first spell

to max. Followed by E for lower CD, W as last to max but it can still be of good use to stack your

passive. Many find it faster to cast a W-Q for poke into the mid game then the time it would take

to cast Q-W. R of course max when possible at lvl 6/11/16; we all know Barrage can be used for

cleaning/weakening a stacking minion wave but keep you eyes open for those low hp recalls

and across map snipes. It may not have the scary look of a

rocket but man will it get

you some free-lo kills :).

Items Back to Top

Starting Items

The Average Carry Start
Blu Build First Back Tear
Secondary Blue Build First Back, If you were able to get a good lead
If you don't like to stack with spells and prefer autos for sooner Stacked Tear
Going TF build, Get Sheen if ahead in lane but if need to survive get Phage

Core Items

Blue Build Ezreal Core
Standard Core offers balance of damage and safety
TF Standard Build, boot choices come down what will benefit you more in your currently game.
Possible 4th/5th item after TF/ BLU Build
Sample TF Build, this build will leave you without the self peel so the qss from Scimitar could be truly helpful.
Sample Blu Build, this build offers nearly complete self peel, qss is viable as well but when needed. MaW allows you to keep kiting back and peel with the shield and passive.

Situational Items

This is a amazing go to option for games where the enemy is stacking/ has strong CC
If for some reason the enemy rengar, zed, lissandra can't stop killing you then maybe you can survive and let your team handle them ;D
This item has an enemy shield with passive can really turn the turn in the fight; not to mention it offer armor pen as well.

The item details above have covered a large amount of information so I will be putting below

at a further time new builds that come up along with answered comment question about

certain item building situations. So if you have any questions below let me know happy to answer.

Back to Champion List

VS

Ashe

Medium

Ashe has her

to try and keep you at bay but that's it, Ashe is extremely squishy so go ahead land some

's in lane. She will easily respect and back off if she does not then continue to connect those

's and look for a free kill in lane but don't get caught chasing a ashe under tower she has

and

Also you have a free flash with

so with good reaction time her

becomes useless.

VS

Caitlyn

Hard

Cait is all about late game so if you win lane or mid you can easily delay her and win before or right when she gets her full damage. That being said she is a pain in lane with the correct support she will harass and try to shove you out of the lane. If zoned hard don't be afarid to lane a few Q's to cs and try to gain control of the lane. Once out of lane normally if played right Ezreal can easily kill cait in a 1v1.

VS

Corki

Medium

There was always the talk of Corki trully being the same as Ezreal but with more damage in a way. With all the changes not so much any more but for corki just don't let him bait you into a fight that you know he will just Q, E all in and early Corki can deal some of the highest damage in the lvl 2-3 fights.

VS

Draven

Medium

This match ups a funny one in one hand if you try to man handle him you will be eaten alive by 's but if the draven is either un-experienced or has poor axe catching postioning you will be able to connect a lot of 's then all in.

Aside from those things look for opportunity in which draven doesn't have his

's up or only one if you want to

from brush then all in.

VS

Graves

Medium

This match up is depended on your positioning, you can either get blown up by his high burst or out position and abuse of his reloading.

VS

Jhin

Medium

Once more a strange match up in the early lvl 1-3 I believe its a skill match up on who plays it smarter but into the lvl 6 and up it comes down to do you get caught in his trap of stunning you so he can out put his damage of if you will him to death and out play him completely due to ezreals high level of mobility with .

VS

Jinx

Medium

Truly My most hated champion, Adc has AOE autos that can crit hmm lol. Don't let her take control of the lane you can even pick some kills up. E can be used to avoid her zap,ulti, and even her traps if done correctly. at lvl 6 you are more then able to pick her off.

VS

Kalista

Easy

hmm Kalista a little weird for me now, she can be come useful with a gank early on or late game but truly it should be an easy lane the nerfs have made her autos just horrible early lane.

VS

Kog'Maw

Medium

I put Kog in medium because of his possible harass in lane with his extra range but aside from that you are more then able to blow him up. Kog is really squishy and all I tell you is don't allow for him to hide behind his support, if not he will just auto you to death with his extended range.

VS

Lucian

Medium

Lucian has some good damage in lane and can surly hold his own, I believe this comes down to a skill match up. Will Lucian land more spells though minnions and zone you or will you as Ezreal dodge his attempts though lane and answer with Q's to his face.

VS

Quinn

Easy

Don't see her often but the lane can go in her favor if you allow her to get her free passive increased damage autos off then fight her. Stay clear of her when she attempts to auto you because the passive has chosen you and if she continues to go after you then step back she won't be able to auto you and because she is chasing for it you can connect with Q.

VS

Sivir

Medium

Sivir can block your spell but which one is hard for to chose could be the Q under her tower that saves her or even your ulti but aside from that, don't get caught trying to have a 1v1 auto war with her and avoid giving her free mana. Also that Q will start to chunk you care.

VS

Tristana

Medium

Tristana is similar to Cait but the difference lays in the fact that Trist can dish out more damage in the lane phase. Watch out for what may seem like a trap to you, trist can easily hop, stack the bomb and ulti you away and watch you die.

VS

Twitch

Easy

As Squishy as Ashe so land those Q's and take control of the lane although Twitch can blow you up if your off guard with invis then Ulti, so watch out

VS

Varus

Easy

Your E can be used to avoid his Q,W,or R chose wisely which to dodge and land those Q'S. Varus is at a weak point as of right now.

VS

Vayne

Medium

Vayne can become that late game monster but in lane you have control, don't allow her to get three stacked autos in trade and burst her out of lane with your Q. When 6 you can sneakly R form bush and all in her for a easy kill.

Pros & Cons Back to Top

Pros

Ezreal has a decently smooth auto attack animation
Can prevent losing cs because of zone or fear of poke by killing the creep with Q
LVL 6 has strong burst with enemy is hit with TrueShot (R)
Good farming under tower thanks to Q
Strong Wave clear with R in the early lane
Ezreal has a second Flash E
A Muti-Person Atk Spd steroid
Passion is greatly useful in the early lane
Ezreal has a Gobal Ulti, The potential to snipe an enemy and pick up a free kill is always
Descent Drake and Baron steal potential

Cons

Shorter Range (Vulnerable to being bullied by a longer range adc such as cait)
Shorter Range (Siege is a bit weaker then Caits,Jinx, etc.)
His Steroid can only be used for others unless he E's into it which almost NEVER want to waste your escape
All Spells aside form E are skillshots
Ulti loses damage for every enemy it goes though
Squishy as hell in and out of lane
Lacks Auto Dmg when compared to other Ad Carries
Falls off Late/If behind hard to caught up at times

The Pros & The Cons stand but to me Ezreal is a champion that is only as good as the player uses his potential.

Tips, Tricks & Fun Facts Back to Top

Ezreal's can be used to help line up your skill shots, but avoid using it in situations that leave you vulnerable.

can be used at the beginning of a team fight to instantly gain 5 stacks of rising spell force(Passive).

It takes approximately 12 seconds from the start of the cast of Trueshot Barrage to reach the enemy spawn from your own spawn. (This is helpful in learning to time when you should ulti to kill someone at their base if you believe their going to recall extremely low or working around this to find the time it would take from where you are at, for your ulti to reach Baron or Drake to attempt and steal it.
Using when the enemy has no vision of you, allows for the enemy team to have no way of warning of your ulti coming. (This works well to if your trying to hit an enemy carry and ur in the bush, they will see the ulti coming at them just no casting since they lack vision of you.
Don't hesitate to use to clear a wave to defend your tower

Before anyone comments about the length or the content, this Video is truly MEANT for those who don't understand what Csing is. I look forward to making videos on how to cs in lane, which will include such things as trading, and when to go for cs and when not to.

I AM ShuToro Back to Top

Welcome to my Ezreal guide, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have has making it. I created this guide to show my knowledge on Ezreal, and to offer a detailed guide on Ezreal. I I've been playing and improving in the role of adc since mid season 3 and hope to offer you my insight on Ezreal. I'm a active streamer on Twitch , come and stop by if you ever want to watch some Adc GamePlay. I hope to reach a higher lvl of gameplay to join a professional team but for now I will rank, make guides, videos and help others raise as I have. I hope new players find this guide quick and easy to pick up to allow you to get to the fields of justice.
