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
끓어오르는 주문의 힘이즈리얼이 스킬을 적중시킬 때마다 공격 속도가 증가합니다. (최대 5회 중첩)
Strong: stacks attack speed as he lands abilities, ramping his DPS. Weak: the stacks decay — deny his poke and his damage stays low.
Q
신비한 화살이즈리얼이 에너지로 이루어진 화살을 발사합니다. 적 유닛에게 명중하면 모든 스킬의 재사용 대기시간이 약간 감소합니다.
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
정수의 흐름이즈리얼이 구체를 발사해 처음으로 적중한 챔피언이나 목표물에 남아있게 합니다. 구체에 적중된 적을 공격하면 구체가 폭발하며 피해를 입힙니다.
Strong: buffs and, when detonated by another hit, adds burst. Weak: does nothing until detonated — dodge the follow-up and it's wasted.
E
비전 이동이즈리얼이 목표 위치로 순간이동하여 가장 가까운 적을 향해 유도 화살을 발사합니다. 정수의 흐름에 맞은 대상을 우선적으로 공격합니다.
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
정조준 일격이즈리얼이 힘을 모은 후 강력한 에너지를 발사해 관통하는 적 모두에게 큰 피해를 입힙니다. (에픽 몬스터를 제외한 몬스터와 미니언 대상으로는 피해량이 감소합니다.)
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.
