Ezreal

Ezreal handles buried tombs and ancient hexes the way other people handle a slightly annoying commute. He is an adventurer above all, a person who plunders lost ruins and laughs off odds that would send anyone else running. Magic is something he happens to be good at, not something he sat down and studied.

He would rather make it up as he goes than sketch out a plan, relying on gut feeling far more than on careful strategy. Most of that gut feeling gets routed through a mystical Shuriman gauntlet that can fire arcane blasts whenever he wants. The gauntlet, more than any chart or itinerary, is what converts his cockiness into real outcomes. He calls Piltover home, and that city’s relentless urge to invent and refine matches how he tackles almost everything. Depending on how a match shapes up, he can be built for raw attack damage or for ability power, and that adaptability shows up across his entire kit.

Danger finds him no matter what he’s aiming for, whether it’s trailing him, waiting up ahead, or surrounding him all at once. His abilities share that scrappy, on-the-fly quality. Rising Spell Force, his passive, stacks attack speed with each spell that lands, which pays off for players who keep hitting their shots instead of hanging back. Mystic Shot sends out a bolt that trims time from his other cooldowns when it connects. Essence Flux lodges an orb in the first enemy it touches, then detonates when he hits it again with a follow-up. Arcane Shift warps him to a nearby point and fires a homing bolt at the closest foe, giving priority to anyone already tagged by Essence Flux. His ultimate, Trueshot Barrage, is the nearest thing he has to a real game plan: one strong beam of energy that damages whatever lies in its way and carries far enough to hit several minion waves or a neutral monster in a single cast. In short, it sums up Ezreal perfectly: reckless, resourceful, and somehow positioned well no matter how little planning went into it. Along the way he has crossed paths with fellow tinkerers such as Heimerdinger.
