People who can't play him eventually gave up and people who could rock big win rates. I don't think Riot should be balancing around soloq winrates unless something is inherently broken (like Eve) eve is actually remarkably similar to ezrael in that respect, tons of people that abused huge winrates on her that are strikingly similar to ezrael. You may just have a champion bias. Eve boasts about 5% higher winrates across the boards and got nerfed way way way harder than ezrael so I dont see anything out of line | ||

We just haven't had much for SC2 recently until tournament season gets rolling again. From my understanding he will be doing both now. | ||

Him being one of the worst ADs was also a highly popular opinion on this board as well for some time. Though I can be hipster and say that I was playing Ez before the wave of popularity. He'll never be a truly bad champion, and he never was. Even with the lower auto damage, the mechanics of his Q alone, alongside having E, make him at least workable. Hell, nowadays he can just not auto at all, build IBG, and completely remove a melee champ from a fight through straight kiting. | ||

And your only counter to her roaming can be easily killed by the enemy with their own pinks.She needed the nerfs for sure. | ||

I said in terms of players abusing 1 champ to high elo, ezrael and evelynn are a few that top the list as having many players that play them with absurd winrates. | ||

People realizing how strong W's AS debuff was got them playing him, and then suddenly they noticed that he can poke and never get caught and here we are. | ||

Ezreal was popular among Chinese ADs at the time of IEM Guangzhou. Western viewers thought they were crazy. As it turns out, Chinese AD play is more or less unmatched anywhere else in the world at this point. | ||

A combination of the mana costs and aggressive supports becoming much stronger, namely taric, brought ezrael into the spotlight. You guys can deny it and be hipsters or whatever, but the fact is that ezrael/sona was the only "okish" lane before, and he became much better once taric/leona became good picks. The synergy on ez's ult and taric's new ult is stupidly efficient and will always be a good combo | ||
