honestly he can still carry really hard against bads or medium level players, at high level he gets outshined because he doesn't snowball on his ridiculous mid game. if you enjoy him go play him sheen + brutalizer + red buff mid game is still really strong | ||

Think it has some merit vs rushing rageblade? Does the extra magic damage get at all turned into splash from her E? How about the debuff from malady? o.O I get malady after GRB (the damage boost from GRB is too high to sidestep) and instead of nashor's because it is much more offensive. After I get Yomumu's and a gunblade. Usually by the malady the game is over but occasionally i have more gold | ||

The CDR is nice if you're not very experienced with her but I've found that blue buff is sufficient CDR to do well. If you're not comfortable with the timing of righteous fury you could still make a nashor's tooth but the malady does a lot more damage and is much cheaper. | ||

Clearly he's not good at top level play by this statement so why would anybody bother playing them ever unless they want to gimp themselves? Then again, I suppose I have a very narrow mind about how games should be played. | ||

Picking eve against newbies isn't gimping yourself. | ||

Then again, I suppose I have a very narrow mind about how games should be played. Because top-tier play only applies to like 1% of the game's population. Odds are, fretting over "top-tier" play won't apply to you, and so there's no need to bother caring unless you're going to try really hard to get good at this game. | ||

Then again, I suppose I have a very narrow mind about how games should be played. Competitively speaking there are a lot of bad champion choices. But 90% of the time champions are fairly effective to the point where you can enjoy a game with them but at like 2400 elo they just dont get picked. Ezreal isn't really the BEST physical carry anymore but hes still good enough to play in an average game and expect to win. | ||

If you have a clever gameplan and Ez fits a role there, then he is perfectly viable. For standard teams (what you definitely should do with random allies) he might not be as good. However the strength of each champ is partly dependant on the level you are playing. At some levels, Ez's free flash might be much stronger than at higher levels. Or at low levels people might suck with it so he loses one of his major advantages. Just like there are some rushes in SC2 that are really strong at lower levels but perfectly fine at higher levels. | ||

Noob abuser heroes like eve are in a whole different bracket really. Relying on your opponents being bad to do well is just silly. | ||

There're top-end players (like Xpecial) that main Ezreal and kick ass. What's your point? Aside from admitting that you're not good at Ezreal and find standard auto-attackers easier? | ||

No actually Ezreal in low or mid skill levels is better than say, Ashe, who skyrockets in value the higher up in average skill level you go. Ezreal is sometimes a better choice than MF in these spots because he has a built in escape and you can't always rely on your team to do things like eat a skillshot cc for you. | ||

Noob abuser heroes like eve are in a whole different bracket really. Relying on your opponents being bad to do well is just silly. That's not the best way of thinking. Some people find some champs better suiting their playstyle (oh no, this word again...). Every champ has his pros and cons, if your playstyle has "synergy" with a champ (quite simple example would be: if you are good at landing skillshots - you pick skillshot champ), why not use him?

Because in LoL term "champ not viable" doesnt exactly mean "you won't do a shit in any game at top elo", it means "lower chances". You still see the "crapest of crap champs" being played at top elo sometimes but at the same time like 40 champs are "not viable" there. | ||
