Ezreal, one of the most volatile characters in the bottom lane, is one of the rare characters that manages to adapt to any average meta. Especially the fact that there are always unusual item selections allows the character to adapt constantly. Adapting to the ADC nickname in the most different ways, Ezreal has a variety of abilities such as ability power, lethality, attack power, etc. It has the potential to build with many items. Of course, how functional each of them is is debatable, but it is a fact that you can do it.
Ezreal, who can be the man of every meta, is one of the most different among the lower lane characters in the game. Although how strong he is depends on how well you use his abilities, it is a fact that the character is a loved one. Let’s examine Ezreal’s CTs, his strong opponents, and the character’s traits together.
Ezreal CTs: Strong opponents against Ezreal
- Vayne
- Kalista
- Sivir
- Jhin
- Twitch
Since Ezreal is a character that inflicts damage focused on his abilities, he needs to actively hit his abilities. Therefore, characters that can be invisible like Vayne, Twitch, or characters that can absorb the opponent’s ability like Sivir can put Ezreal in a difficult situation. In addition, characters who deal instant damage also cause trouble for Ezreal. Kalista’s quick draw of her accumulated spears or a powerful hit from Jhin can overwhelm Ezreal
All abilities of Ezreal with an exploding orb:
- Passive / Magic Power Upscaling: Each time Ezreal hits, he gains an attack speed boost, stacking up to 5 times.
- Q / Mysterious Shot: If Ezreal hits an enemy unit, he fires a bolt of energy that reduces all cooldowns by a small amount.
- W / Essence Flow: Ezreal launches an orb that attaches to the first champion or map target hit. If Ezreal hits an enemy under the orb’s effect, the orb explodes, dealing damage.
- E / Arcane Pass: Ezreal teleports to a nearby target location and fires a guided beam to attack the nearest enemy unit. Prioritizes enemies under the effect of Essence Flux.
- R / Precision Wave: Ezreal charges up and fires a powerful energy wave that deals massive damage to each enemy he passes through (the wave deals less damage to minions and non-epic monsters).
What are ‘blonde explorer’ Ezreal’s strengths and weaknesses?
Ezreal’s powerful features:
- Thanks to his E ability, Ezreal can be quite agile and can escape very easily even if he is raided
- Thanks to his E ability, he can take a very comfortable position during the war and use his skills accordingly.
- Since Ezreal’s ultimate ability doesn’t have a certain range, he can use the whole map as his own dartboard.
- The fact that the character can benefit from both ability power and attack power increases its functionality.
Ezreal is a very agile character among many attack power carriers. You can easily get rid of many raids if played well. In addition, since it will be comfortable for you to take a position, it will also be easier to make combos with your skills.
Ezreal’s weak features:
- Since all of the character’s damage potential is stripped from their abilities, they can make things difficult even if the opponent only plays behind the minion
- The fact that all abilities except his ultimate are single-targeted can sometimes cause the character to get into trouble during the battle.
- Because the character is so fragile, it may be the weaker side when the battle is moved to Ezreal
Ezreal’s strength and weakness is the fact that all of his damage potential comes out of his abilities. It can be very difficult to hold against someone who knows, especially when attacking, as all damage comes from his Q ability. As we mentioned, since his abilities other than his ultimate are single-targeted, it is necessary to choose a very good target, otherwise things will not progress very well.
How to play Ezreal in LoL?
- Since Ezreal’s main damage, Q, can hit minions, it’s important to adjust his angle well and shoot. In the worst case, you can adjust your position with the E ability.
- Due to the ease of use of Ezreal’s ultimate ability, it is very important to follow the map. In this way, you can easily support your team and even kill other players in the corridor.
- Since Ezreal is a skill-based character, his mana usage is much higher than normal characters. Therefore, tearing out at an early stage will give some relief.
- E skill is very important especially in team fights. We do not recommend using it aggressively unless you are very confident. It can be much more efficient to use it for positioning or to get out of difficult situations.
You can play Ezreal to adapt to any situation, as the character is skill-based and takes abilities from both attack power and ability power. As a matter of fact, although the attack power version is stronger, you can also use ability power. But either way, you need to be well positioned to use your talents. If you cannot match your skills, it is not possible to play Ezreal. At worst, you can hit your abilities by aggressively using your E and adjusting positions. Apart from that, you have the chance to control the map well and provide support with your ultimate ability and kill your opponents. So be sure to check other aisles regularly.
