@Rapacious: I hope you don't expect me to respond to that tl;dr. I will, however, respond to a couple places where you managed to stay on-topic and/or not make some nutty assumption.

Guides: your appeal to popularity is rejected as ludicrous. The mass existence of guides doesn't enter into it. A build is viable or non-viable on its own merits, full stop. There's next to nothing out there for guides about jungling as Akali post-jungle-nerf, for example, but she's still quite good at it, and has been for half a year now, with no fanfare.

This is not a discussion of AD vs. AP. The book is closed on this one: even though AP remains a viable option, AD is arguably superior after recent buffs. AFTER RECENT BUFFS. The issue here, is the period of time when AD was in the doghouse, but AP was the farm-heavy option that scaled acceptably into lategame. You completely ignored this, and further compounded your original sin by waving your hand all over the place like a Jedi Knight trying to make it seem like you made no mistake in the first place.

Well, I've got news for you son: you were wrong. A history of Ezreal is not accurate or complete unless one makes mention of the AP build that was respectable in the post-heal-nerf/post-AD-nerf era. An era that has only recently ended now that Riot has decided to stop kicking sand in his face, by improving his bases and giving him AD scaling on his ult.
