To the above, I honestly got rid of Muramana. Ezreal's issue is a bit of a few things, but they aren't impossible to deal with:

-Ezreal requires a safe team. He needs to be in a team that is going to survive, avoid deaths and all around do "decently" in lane. He can't handle enemy snowballs like other champs (Cait, Twitch, Tristana) can, so teams that can avoid this snowball help Ezreal immensely.

-His W is his biggest glaring issue, which is that it is essentially useless on AD ezreal and serves no purpose other than to help your team push down objectives. In teamfights, his W is essentially a weak damaging support spell taht Ez only uses to gain stacks quickly for his passive, but a high AS champ like Irelia or Warwick, and deal a bit of damage that Ez likely could have done had he just autoed instead.

-He's insanely skill shot oriented, which tends to just mean he has a high skill cap. This typically lends itself to a harder games overall against good opponents, and is compounded by the fact that this is Ezreal's main damage and his access to his AS steriods. Ezreal's AS steriod ramps up, compared to the top ADCs out there at the moment, Tristana and Twitch, who both have instant cast, high boosting AS steriods and frontload a lotta damage in autos.

That said, Ezreal has a lotta good strengths that can be exploited with his build, and can be one of the burstiest early game champs of the ADCs out there if you know what you're doing. It's stunted by the goal of getting muramana first for the long range mana pokes. I would say ignore this concept.

A build I'd ask people to try with Ez is a Ghostblade rush with stormraiders. Rush ghostblade (Same cost as Muramana + Boots), run stormraiders surge and go for Ghostblade > Trinity > Duskblade, and watch Ezreal Q's melt down high priority targets when you jump them outside vision. Duskblade is pretty crazy on Ezreal because he can you just on the edge of your vision and duck back outta vision to reapply Dusk. The high lethality coupled with the cdr and kite power of ghost blade and trinity make him a really painful adc to deal with when he runs for this kind of build.
