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 I dispute the idea that Asian play "wasn't very good" at the time of the first season of OGN. By spring of 2012, several people on TL were making the claim that WE and TPA were good enough to match up against M5, and they probably were right (though obviously there were no competitions at the time to allow confirmation of this fact). Also, Ezreal's popularity didn't rise out of Ezreal+Sona or Ezreal+Taric/Leona. It came out of Ezreal+Soraka W-spam lanes in Asian play, which CLG learned from and brought back to Western play. | ||

Because i really dont want to wait 4 days for someone to respond to my account being stolen. Less of words, more "draw a picture of your favorite champion." Srsly though, they've never taken long with me. | ||

While Asian play wasn't AS good at the time, the individual skill, especially the in bot lane, were there for everybody to see despite the overall team coordination and late-game experience not entirely developed. The teams were probably about even with the west at the time (as opposed to far ahead like they are now). EZ was very popular because of the overall midgame-oriented playstyle that Asian teams tended towards in contrast to the afkfarm/turtle of CLG and TSM, which favored carries who scaled better than EZ lategame | ||

Nasus support may be sneaky really really good. Wither pretty much gives you free reign to go in and chunk someone because of the massive AS AND MS slow. Plus Nasus really likes Aegis and locket and all those supporty items anyway, and his ult gives him a bit of tank to work with. A Garen+Nasus bot lane shat all over the Twitch Nami lane we were against. | ||

It is kinda like a mini exhaust though. And it's ranged, which is a big deal. | ||
