Ezreal is a rather unconventional AD carry because, unlike most other champions in this role, he doesn’t deal most of his damage with his autoattacks. About 70% of Ezreal’s damage comes from his Q “Mystic Shot”. This makes him a so-called “Ability based Carry / AD Caster”, i.e. a champion based on abilities. So in fights, it mainly depends on whether you hit your Q, W and Ult. But don’t forget your normal attacks. The best Ezreal players find the times between their abilities when it’s okay to use normal attacks and know when it’s time to utilize the Q’s range. Mystic Shot also has a passive effect that becomes especially relevant later in team fights. Whenever a Mystic Shot hits an enemy, the cooldowns of Ezreal’s other abilities are reduced by 1.5 seconds.

W- Essence Flux is another source of damage that many players tend to forget about Ezreal. Combined with one of Ezreal’s abilities, you will be refunded the mana cost of the W(50) +10, as well as the mana cost of the ability that triggers the W. The active of the ability fires an orb that sticks to the target for 4 seconds and deals bonus magic damage. This also applies if you trigger the W with a normal attack.

Apart from that, Ezreal is an extremely safe ADC to play due to his E “Arcane Leap”. As long as the ability is ready, he can dodge enemy skillshots and escape from tricky situations thanks to the blink. Since the E animation is completed much faster than Tristana’s W, for example, Ezreal is perhaps the safest ADC during the laning phase. The better your opponents play, the more relevant the high cooldown of E- Arcane Leap becomes in the early game. Use the ability wisely, but don’t be afraid to use it aggressively if you can use it to boost a profitable damage exchange even further without putting yourself in mortal danger. He can outplay enemy engages and ganks with his E and even in difficult matchups he can farm from a safe distance with his Q. But be careful: Shield Supporters or melee fighters, who can often intercept a few Q’s without any problems, will want to make it difficult for you to lash the minion with your Q, especially with cannon minions.

R -Energy Barrage is Ezreal’s ultimate. After one second of execution, Ezreal fires an energy barrage in the chosen direction, dealing magic damage to all enemies hit. The ability is global and grants vision in the area it is flying through. Minions and non-epic monsters take 50% of the damage.

Also important is Ezreal’s passive – Increased Spell Power. Each time Ezreal hits a target with an ability, he gains 10% additional attack speed for 6 seconds, which can be increased up to 5 times for 50%.
