I'd only max Q first if you're with someone like taric and are going to do a lot of blink -> melee bursting where they won't be able to dodge the Qs. If the lane is trade-y maxing W is far better, it's like having a free superpowered nunu. (Without Soraka you just need to not use W for pure harrass and merely to crush every trading situation) But W is also significantly more burst than Q... So even with Taric, where your support is setting up burst situations, W is still great. | ||

I think he might need a small nerf. | ||

It also depends on what you're balancing around. In solo queue, an aggressive bot lane often wins over a passive one because of how solo queue works. Ezreal is a great aggressive laner who works with nearly any support, so of course he's great there. Passive farmers like Kog, for instance, tend not to do as well, because of lack of warding, map awareness, and team play. Ez is also very much suited for solo play because he doesn't really require a team around him. Again, a Kog with a team is much more dangerous than an Ez with one, I'd say, but a Kog with a bad team (can't peel, no CC, etc) is going to seem useless in comparison. Ez's kit - with burst, mobility, and range - is well suited to playing solo queue and succeeding. That doesn't make him broken. He may be a bit on the strong side, I'll admit, but I don't think he's deserving of a nerf any time soon. | ||

It was an addendum to his W trading power and his blink. | ||

If you nerf the AS slow too much, it becomes what everyone thought it was originally, a useless AP nuke that only is there to shoot through minions. It's really his big selling point right now, that he can duel every AD because of W. He's comparatively weak in teamfights when you look at Kog/Vayne/Ashe/etc. But that's just my opinion. | ||

Put the mana cost back where it was before they randomly buffed it? Now that people realized that it isn't a garbage skill, they'll be more willing to pay more mana for it. | ||

He's only weaker in teamfights under ideal situations for Kog/Ashe. Last night I beat an Ez in lane pretty handily as Kog (2 Kills, ~ 35 CS), but in teamfights he didn't need peels, so if my flash was down we lost. Also, people somehow think standing in R and W is a good idea in SoloQ. | ||

Any tips for facing him (besides dodging shit)? I tend to do best with Corki, but if it's something like Ez/Taric I just can't dodge anything and get bullied out of lane all day. | ||

Skillshot vs skillshot but you have a truck of a skillshot that'll do 1/3rd of his health early vs a few pinprick skillshots. her skillshot is good but her ability to bait out Q/E for free mana is even better | ||
