Alright, tbh I haven't played him since they changed muramana to physical from magic damage. It was so op yo. Elder Lizard bad on Ezreal, don't do it, and Tear nerfs were harsh on blue Ez. | ||

The first DoT tick (let's assume 30) is, taking armor into account depending on what you are shooting at, as good or better than a BF sword for 1550. Plus you get 10% CDR, another 30 AD and can take Wraiths super easy for the gold. The numbers add up for me, but one could argue to sell it later because of slot efficiency. For 2000 gold a lot of stuff I really want. Fits my "poking and running away like a bitch" playstyle. | ||

You only get it if for some ungodly reason u need the active or they have a stupidly tanky team. Is that because the change to physical damage, so it won't do much damage to high armor high hp targets anyways? Should I build BT instead of BotRK on a default basis, then? | ||

If you don't get BT early it could in theory be up in the air i guess though im pretty sure 80%+ of the time BT will be better because of how much Q dmg it adds unless like i said earlier, they have a stupidly tanky team. Bork 1st or 2nd on Ezreal is out the window, there are always better choices early for him. (BT/TF even Muramana) | ||

as for actualy carry builds, trinity is pretty much always first, then depending on what u need to do you buy. Bork 2nd is good if there's at least one tank who you need to/can kite with the active. And even if there isn't one? Honestly the damage output/dueling potential from that item isn't bad at all, though it's definitely NOT always the best option. Some games you'll need LW, some BT, even IE rush. It also feels weird to see people say "x item should ALWAYS be bought Yth or Zth" because Ezreal is an extremely flexible champion. | ||

Elder lizard ticks for like... 5-17 damage per tick based on your level, ticks 3 times, and if you get a Q and an auto off, all you do is reset the dot. It does not do 30 damage per tick ever.

Just wondering, because I don't know that much, but when do you want to IE rush? What advantages should I look to get by building IE sooner? Better teamfight/sustained damage? | ||

Better teamfight/sustained damage? I usually see IE rush as a desperation move where you got crushed in early laning but then are given the chance to free-farm your way back into the game (like you are freezing your lane deep on your side of the map or something) You go with IE + PD/Shiv because it's the quickest way to get to a point where you can contribute meaningfully to the team when you were behind. This doesn't happen very often, but IMO IE rush isn't something that should be your go-to build. If you're ahead or even on most AD carries, other items will usually serve you better. BT and BORK allow for more effective lane skirmishing/bullying. IE+Vamp is just so much gold before you hit your first big power spike. You don't usually want to be 2k gold "behind" because all you have is BF+vamp+whatever when your opponent is stacking their BT and using the heavy lifesteal/damage to bully you. | ||

SOTLE was part of the original Blue Build because it was stupidly efficient. Essentially you built it because it was so ridiculous of an item that you could still be relevant while you charged your Tear, then you hit a spike with transform into Muramana, around the time you got Sheen or IBG depending on your fed-ness. Now it is not strong enough as a stand-alone item to bridge that game, so the build as a whole is weaker. Now you basically have to choose between charging tear and getting damage (muramana) or utility (IBG) plus have to decide about Last Whisper. Ideally, in some case you would probably go: Tear>Muramana>IBG/LW>BotRK with boots as convenient. A last item would probably be Black Cleaver, Ghostblade, IE, or Merc Scim depending. The problem with the build is it has a huge Lull (mostly bad until Muramana+IBG+LW in the current meta), and has a mediocre lategame, and its midgame spike is nothing compared to the old blue ez. | ||

Yes. 50 true damage over 3 seconds is 17 damage per tick (well, 17 17 16 or whatever). At no point are you doing 30 damage per second. At level... 9 or so, it's going to be adding ~30 true damage TOTAL to your Q. That really isn't very much. | ||

The point is you do it when you're behind, but taking freefarm in an effort to catch up ASAP. If your other lanes are doing fine, they should be able to keep pressure on the enemy team while you're channeling Doublelift. It's probably less likely for Ezreal to be in that situation, just because Triforce is an additional option for him that not all AD carries have. IE Triforce is a pretty sick item pair, though. (And you can rearrange the triforce order by putting zeal first since you have an IE.) To reply to the original post, if I wanted to go AD-caster Mid Ezreal right now, I'd probably do it with items in mind (order is vague) such as Brutalizer, Triforce, CDR boots, BloodThirster (NOT BORK!) and LW, taking blue buff and having 5% CDR from masteries to be at 40% CDR. Don't tunnel hard on BORK's on-hit current health damage - BT is nearly always the better item for Ezreal. Doing 75 more damage is generally gonna be more than the %health, your ult hits harder, you clear creeps faster, and you lifesteal harder. Ez doesn't abuse the AS as well as others due to a number of factors and doesn't generally need the active to kite- often not even wanting to be in range to activate the BORK on the ideal target. You'll want to pair it with a game plan that involves pressuring the outer turrets as early as safely possible (like with Cait or Lucian ADC who can help you siege) | ||
