• Trueshot Barrage (R) deals less damage per enemy hit

How to Play

AP Ezreal is a strong poke and burst champion who can safely chip away at enemies before finishing them off with his abilities. His range lets him pressure opponents from a distance, but he can be punished if he wastes his mobility.

In lane, focus on farming while using Q and W to poke your opponent whenever possible. Look for opportunities to land your abilities from unexpected angles, but avoid using E aggressively unless you know you won't need it to escape.

During the mid game, play around your team and look to soften enemies before fights begin. Keep your distance, constantly poke with your abilities, and wait for enemies to become vulnerable before committing. Avoid getting caught alone, especially when your E is on cooldown.

Runes Explained

The best Runes for AP Ezreal are 9x Mark of Magic Penetration, 9x Seal of Armor, 9x Glyph of Magic Resist, and 3x Quintessence of Ability Power. The Magic Penetration and Ability Power increase the damage of his abilities, while the Armor and Magic Resist provide useful defenses against incoming damage.

Masteries Explained

AP Ezreal benefits from a 21 point investment in the Offensive tree, with the remaining 9 points going into Utility. The Offensive tree provides Magic Penetration, Ability Power, and increased damage, all of which directly improve the strength of his abilities and make his poke more threatening. The Utility points provide useful mana related benefits, allowing him to cast spells more frequently and maintain pressure throughout the laning phase.
