How to beat Ezreal

Common role: ADC

A safe, poke-heavy marksman who blinks out of every engage.

What makes Ezreal dangerous

Ezreal pokes from max range with skillshot Q (which lowers his cooldowns on hit), blinks away with E, and chunks with a global R. He is hard to catch and out-trades you with mana-efficient poke, scaling into a safe, high-damage carry that never dies.

How to play against Ezreal

• 1Dodge his Q: it is a skillshot, and missing it denies him his cooldown resets.
• 2Punish his E: once it is down he has no escape — that is your all-in window.
• 3He has no attack-speed steroid; his early auto DPS is weak, so pressure him.
• 4Block or dodge his ult when he tries to snipe low targets across the map.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No steroids — low sustained DPS in the early and mid game.
• ✓Mana-reliant; punish the poke pattern and he goes dry.
• ✓Skillshot-dependent: he does nothing if his Q keeps missing.
• ✓Low base damage — squishy targets that dodge Q trade well into him.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Ezreal's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Force grandissante

  Ezreal augmente sa vitesse d'attaque chaque fois qu'il touche un ennemi avec une compétence (cumulable jusqu'à 5 fois).

  Strong: stacks attack speed as he lands abilities, ramping his DPS. Weak: the stacks decay — deny his poke and his damage stays low.

• Q
  Tir mystique

  Ezreal tire un trait d'énergie blessant qui, s'il touche un ennemi, réduit légèrement tous les délais de récupération d'Ezreal.

  Strong: a low-cooldown poke that refunds all his cooldowns on hit. Weak: a dodgeable skillshot — missing it denies the resets and his tempo.

• W
  Flux essentiel

  Ezreal tire un orbe qui se colle au premier champion ou objectif touché. Si Ezreal frappe un ennemi affecté par un orbe, ce dernier explose et inflige des dégâts.

  Strong: buffs and, when detonated by another hit, adds burst. Weak: does nothing until detonated — dodge the follow-up and it's wasted.

• E
  Transfert arcanique

  Ezreal se téléporte dans une zone ciblée et tire un projectile autoguidé qui frappe l'ennemi le plus proche. Le tir vise en priorité les ennemis affectés par Flux essentiel.

  Strong: a blink that repositions and procs his passive with a free auto. Weak: long cooldown — once it's down he has no escape, so all-in then.

• R
  Arc térébrant

  Ezreal se concentre avant de tirer une puissante vague d'énergie qui inflige d'importants dégâts à chaque unité traversée (les dégâts sont réduits pour les sbires et les monstres non épiques).

  Strong: a global barrage that snipes low targets across the map. Weak: slow-travelling and blockable by minions/allies — dodge or body-block it.

Itemization

Engage supports and dive comps punish his immobility once E is down. Health and a hard-engage threat force him to blink defensively and stop poking.
