the Prodigal Explorer
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (7,522 games).
Ezreal, the Prodigal Explorer, lowers all his cooldowns whenever Mystic Shot lands and blinks with Arcane Shift. Almost all counted Master+ Ezreals were bot laners on Lethal Tempo, and Trinity Force, Manamune, then Endless Hunger was overwhelmingly their build.

How Ezreal performs against enemy bot laners
Recommended items by enemy team composition
EzrealBot average
102030
102030
102030
Close the gap early — it wins at range and at three items — neither before ten minutes
Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip
Punish the cooldown — Ezreal is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 7/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average
PRising Spell Force
Ezreal gains increasing Attack Speed each time he successfully hits a spell, stacking up to 5 times.
Passive — never cast

We want to bring back some playstyles that have been lost to the sands of time. First up on that list is AP Ezreal. Bring out your global snipes—there's a lot of good mages out there but none of them are this skillful!
Base Stats
EArcane Shift
Ezreal's been in a pretty weak spot for most players this season, especially after Essence Reaver got nerfed in the micropatch. While we think there's some winrate to be gained through players optimizing their builds, we still want to bring Ezreal more in line.
Base Stats
Ezreal has been a low performer lately especially at lower ranks. We're looking to add a little bit of general power to help him keep up as games go late.
Base Stats
Ezreal has been high presence and overperforming in general recently. He's pretty hard to catch and his builds often involve building decent amounts of HP or other defensive stats, making him both hard to lock down and take down. This patch we're lowering his scaling armor so HP purchases are less efficient on him and to make him more vulnerable over time.
Riot's data lists 23 looks for Ezreal with their own art, the base skin included and 63 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Ezreal, the Prodigal Explorer, is a Marksman and Mage champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 7/10 for difficulty, 7/10 for attack, 2/10 for defense and 6/10 for magic. Ezreal spends Mana and has 23 skins with their own art.
A dashing adventurer, unknowingly gifted in the magical arts, Ezreal raids long-lost catacombs, tangles with ancient curses, and overcomes seemingly impossible odds with ease. His courage and bravado knowing no bounds, he prefers to improvise his way out of any situation, relying partially on his wits, but mostly on his mystical Shuriman gauntlet, which he uses to unleash devastating arcane blasts. One thing is for sure—whenever Ezreal is around, trouble isn't too far behind. Or ahead. Probably everywhere.
