I love doing Brutalizer > Sheen > Manamune. ^___^

Throw in a locket somewhere in that build and you're really rolling!

I have success with him going:
doran's b
if I have to b before 2200 gold, boots 1 and 1 or 2 doran's blades
if 2200 or more, BF sword + boots 1
finish bloodthirster
merc/berserker's
bloodthirster
pretty much will never get past there but if you do, stack more damage/armor pen/defense depending on what is needed

Fixed that for you ^___^

Manamune seems a bit awkward on him, his mana cost on Q is already quite low.

That is what I thought! Before I bought him I went onto Riot's forums and heard a bunch of people talking about Manamune, so I tried it out a few games and it just felt terrible.

I think those builds are left overs from when he could actually be an AP character.

If most of Ezreal's damage comes from Q, then NOT going Sheen confuses me. I stand by my bruta-sheen-BT-triforce-ghostblade progression.

I really hope Ez gets some buffs soon after the red nerf. He's the only ranged carry type champion I enjoy playing.

lategame carry items (BT, IE) provide larger flat AD boosts and have nice passives too

sheen is good because of its accessability (860 if you start with mana crystal +2pot) and its biggest effect early game: because ezreal's AD scaling is terrible, you get the most mileage out of it if you get it ASAP.

i don't like going bruta -> sheen for that reason, i think its delaying and gives less q damage for a bigger price (unless you start longsword, and if you do i would like to see you not die in lane lolol)

i've always played ez as an ie/lw ranged carry using q with more emphasis as an aspeed booster than as his primary source of dmg

edit: oh and i can say that i did dblade stacking on ez for bt item buildup waaaaay before it became fotm ^.^

edit2: and got laughed for it alot too T.T

hmmmmmmm I may subscribe to the Chrispy school of thought. I'm finding Ez needs offensive masteries to do any meaningful damage early game, but without utility I go oom all the time.

Enter the Manamune.

with:

flat mp5 seals
mp5 per level glyphs

I run 21/8/1 with this and never have any mana problems.

I don't understand this "oom" concept. It's nothing yellow and/or blue Mp5/Level won't solve. Manamune on those extreme cases like Corki is acceptable. You run 21 Utility for the Summoner CDR, movespeed, and sometimes the buff duration. The mana regen is nice but it's merely a side bonus.

I really like triforce as either his first or second item, I'm pretty sure only thing I'd be willing to delay it for is brutalizer.

Taking people's advice on this forum, I've been playing Ezreal almost exclusively and I have been doing really well. So... Thank you everyone!

I stumbled upon Reginald's stream while he was playing Ezreal and started playing with his item build, which seems to be based on getting most basic items consistently to keep Ez's damage output growing without having to wait for 3-4k gold to get a legendary item. I think someone suggested almost his exactly build in here, so I knew how to do it and I can confirm that it works rather well.
It goes:
Doran's Blade + Potion (Lane as long as you can, until about 1.5k ish is a good time to go back)
Berzerker Greeves + Doran's blade (If you have enough for 2 Doran's, get a second after the greeves)
Brutalizer
Sheen
Bloodthirster

After this I've tried to get Guinsoo's Rageblade and I think it is probably one of the best items for Ezreal. With his passive and the Rage blade, you boost your attack speed sooooo much.

I also tried getting the Infinity Edge instead of Bloodthirster on games where I am getting a lot of kills and then upgradeing the Brutalizer --> G.B. for even more crit chance, which is good with his passive to dump a lot of damage on people with just auto attack.

rageblade is a weak choice because the AP does nothing for you. If you want attackspeed, get last whisper (its 40% armor penetration is godly lategame).
Zerks is also situational, if they don't have too much cc, then by all means you can go for it. However, if you're not running cleanse (and even if you are imo) and the enemy team has 3+ sources of cc you are best off running mercs because if they catch you out of position (a lucky dark binding hits you, etc.) your ass is toast if the enemy team has any brains.

BT is generally considered superior on ez because of lifesteal getting proc'd by q and it gives more flat AD (esp if you load kills on it) and crit not getting proc'd on q. If you're in a situation where you're close enough to be autoattacking them, you will most likely either get focused or the enemy team will just be baddies
