"Judging from what I read I'm guessing it's not the build that people have problems with, but more the fact that he goes in the position of the ADC while the build doesn't actually carry the team."

I totally agree with this. I've been playing Blue Ezreal mid recently and it's worked out wonderfully.

He only really has issues versus targeted-gap closers like Diana, Akali, and Zed. However, he's stronger during the early game than these champions so you can pressure them with your Q and auto attacks while they try to last hit. This is how I've won most of my matchups against assasins.

Mid lane is also very short, which makes escaping from enemies extremely easily. It also gives him availability to Blue Buff. If there's anything that Blue Ezreal scales off of, it's CDR. The 20% CDR from Blue Buff makes his Q and E on very low cooldown, making him an excellent roamer.
