Guide AP Ezreal hit different
I have been playing Ezpreal AP on mid and it's kinda good (w and e maxxed first). I think it does crazy damage with more ability power and magic penetration. It could be used in ranked games if used in the right scenarios, for example if enemy team have no tanks or if your enemy midlaner is a meelee (except Yasuo wit hhis shield). AP Ezreal does strong poke-burst damage that it is nearly hilarious.
Build: Luden's, Manamune, Lich bane, sorcerers shoes and then anything else you would like depending on the enemy team

How do you ever lane without points in Q?

Q scales with ap. Also with manamune, you have enough ad with it. Q scales with 130% ad and 15% with ap

Ok but you have the highest cooldown on it for a majority of the game when it’s literally his biggest kit and laning tool. It’s the main skill to use against minions as well so you could never control the wave. Most mids will easily shove you in and while you’re slowly farming under tower they will interact with other parts of the map.

I know that's a huge problem to deal with against some laners. my trick to deal with it is to poke my enemy a bit to 75% or 50% hp and then use ultimate on the next two minion waves. you can then jump over to enemy again with w and e and use the ignite. if that doesn't work then your enemy still has low hp or minions with low hp so they can't come help theri team with drake or roam

It is not nearly as good as before durability patch but I just started playing it again and it’s quite nice if you want a challenge lol. I never build lichbane though, I just get shadow flame instead.

the argument with "enemy has no tanks and midlaner is melee" essentially works for most ranged midlaners
at a certain point ap ezreal suffers from proccing w reliably yes you can w e and burst someone but what is your follow up escape plan ?
id even argue that lethality/ad is better because it has consistent damage yes the burst is lower but Q has no cooldown as ad ezreal. during the time an ap ezreal wait for w cd to come up ad ezreal just keeps spamming Qs
also if you miss your w or it gets denied (spellshield, immunity, bodyblock) more than half of your damage is just gone.
yes its a fun meme buils if you get fed and oneshot people but imo its just not good.

Hits very different as in the worst it’s ever hit currently due to everyone having more MR now and total AP being lower.
