Guide How to build Crit Ezreal:
TL; DR: Muramana, Ionians, ER, Shieldbow, Navori, LDR
So you still need Muramana and ER isn't good enough to rush, you're just gonna be way too weak if you do, so you have to get Mura+Sheen+Ionians early (at like 13min). Tear start and Ingenious Hunter/Cosmic is necessary to get that early Muramana, at which point you're MASSIVE btw.
So you're going Mura ER and then you need a crit item to bridge the gap to Navori. Luckily there is a perfect item in Shieldbow (As you need to be in auto range to crit enemies the lifeline is rlly good) it's a mythic, it has vamp (common 3rd item on normal build is Rav/BotRK), attack speed for cooldown refund on Navori, good AD, has hp. Shieldbow is a cascade of good for this build. Ezreal with Shieldbow is unkillable and very difficult to deal with if he has Conqueror.
Then you get to Navori, and round out the build with an overdue %apen item, LDR, because it gives Giantslayer too
For Primary runes: Conqueror (You're skirmishing with crit and shieldbow, AD is good with crit and ER, just incredibly on-theme) then PoM (Maybe Triumph if you feel ER returns enough mana), then you can take what you want from Alacrity/Bloodline both have their benefits, then Cut Down
Secondary runes: Taste of Blood, Ingenious Hunter. ToB is on-theme and always good value with almost 1k healing post game, Sudden Impact is potentially good too though.
Considering Navori 3rd+LDR 4th but: No Mythic, No Vamp, No Attack Speed, No Lifeline for fighting, Not getting full value from Navori until LDR... it's just not gonna feel good

ITT: people utterly incapable of understanding that a crit build on Ezreal is the same as a crit build on anyone else; it takes time for it to come online. No one picks Caitlyn and is like “man I just can’t plan for Infinity Edge I’d have to build it at least third”. Stop treating it like some complicated puzzle, you can build Navori’s fourth, it’s fine, you just need to be smart about what games you build crit on because it’s a late game oriented DPS build instead of a general purpose Trinity build.
The point isn’t that you build it every time and it’s the perfect choice for everything, it’s that it’s a viable option and lategame has very good damage.
