Isn't it just a combination of him playing LoL for a long time and having worked with ESV rather than a complete switch?

I don't know, I always assumed he still continued with sc2 evena fter the n*word incident but I stop following the sc2 scene over a year ago xD, just glanced over the reddit thread and was surprised if that's the same guy.

Pretty much, similar situation for DoA and OGN.

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

Remember Ezreal's position early last year was "good poke + escape but terrible late-game." Doublelift was the only Ezreal player, he liked him because he believed Ez passive actually made his late-game strong and everyone overlooked it. It's good to see them trying to make him fit the "good poke and escape but lower team-fight damage" niche instead of having straight up everything.
Only the weak link is strong enough to break the chain.

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.

A champion that forces every lane to get pink wards unless they want to die to ganks 24/7.How is that similar to an ad carry with good escape?

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

you're living in your own little world, no one said anything even close to that. 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.

W down by 10 and R down by 50 helps, but it doesn't change that much. 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 a staple in Asian play long before the mana cost buff.

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.

asian play wasnt very good at that time, so doesnt mean much. 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
