Holy shit, voyboy and st.v pretty much 2v5's nomnom O.o, until nyjacky comes in. He needs Zhonya's first. NomNom has some silly burst, esp if his ulti is down. Wat dew? Looks like he went DFG over Cap though. :O | ||

It completely outclasses phage and red buff, at the very least. It's better in that sense, but you still lack damage. IBG proc only does 125% of base AD. It's great for poking and catching people, but as soon as the other team initiates and their IE/PD carry starts damaging your team, you're going to start to regret that you didn't use that 3.4k on an IE or TF. I'm not entirely opposed to it, but I don't think you can afford it as second item. Midgame power is pretty important atm, and IBG delays your damage too much imo. Plus you can't expect people in yoloq to respect that you buy IBG and play around poking the other team down. | ||

Yes, you're sacrificing some HP but no one really got Phage for the HP. Now you're comparing the Gauntlet's 100% slow vs Phage/Trinity's 25%. And it's not like there are any wasted stats from Gauntlet either. Armor for HP and the CDR is incredibly useful. Just ask Score. | ||

I think the biggest issue is people are trying to compare hypercarry ez versus regular carry ez. If you have a team built around zoning out for you, then Yes, IBG is a shit buy. Especially if your mid or support can get shard of true ice, or something of that sort. But, sometimes team comps are oriented around mid game small skirmishes, then IBG is significantly better | ||

You open BT first for a reason. And I think the fairer comparison is between IBG and TF. IE vs (IBG/TF) has always been the trade off between pure damage vs utility. When looking at IBG vs TF in regards to utility, I don't see TF stacking up. | ||

I would've gone Deathcap before DFG but I guess the extra nuke DPS > more Q dmg? @_@ | ||

I really don't think it decreases your damage all that much, sheen is already core on Ezreal and the rest of the kit just adds a ton of cdr and mana to use it, and cdr for Ezreal translates into both damage and attackspeed. | ||

I probably just don't like it that much because I'm bad at the game  Also, the games I went IBG I always got dived on, Malph and Xin and shit. I should really train my reflexes to E/flash Malph ults | ||

I dispute sheen being core. I have always disputed the Trinity force playstyle as well. Its highly situational when a Sheen/TF/IBG build is going to be stronger than an IE/PD or BT/PD build. First, it demands the other team not have and unkillable frontline terror like an (even midly fed) Olaf. And second it demands your team either: A. Wins early, or B. Has the ability to control where and when fights happen. | ||

DFG active (15% flat) + eve ulti (25%+3% from ap (zhonya's + dfg+haunting guize+ masteries/runes)) then multiplied by 1.2 (dfg amplification)= instantly 50% of someone's health. Deathcap doesn't even hold a candle to that damage.

Now Weixiao says you should get TF on Ezreal.... I'm confused , help me please  They're not necessarily in disagreement. Weixiao didn't seem to think TF is the end all be all item as much as something to get since it has everything Ezrael needs. I don't know if he's advocating rushing it every game. | ||

benefits of ap runes could be: easier last hitting if you are using spellsword mastery, stronger abilities earlier game. however it seems like Sorc boots and guise are becoming very popular, if you run a page of mpen marks/quints, with those 2 items you have 14+15+15=44 magic pen, about 1 neg cloak worth of resistances.. The other problem is whether you want AP on your marks or glyphs or quints. I could see AP glyphs being useful if you're playing an AP mid vs. a bruiser or AD assassin mid lane, where the lost MR won't be a big deal. | ||
