Last Whisper is Physical penetration and Trueshot Barrage is magic damage. It still holds true for this. If Trueshot was Physical, then MAYBE? I'm not sure anyways since Ezreal doesn't even build early penetration. Last Whisper is like 5th-6th item choice, you still wanna have Muramana, TriForce and BOTRK along side Ionians before you even consider LW which is why some people say Tank Meta killed Ezreal.

But he still has problems in the bruiser meta before hand because his laning phase is extremely passive with no kill presure and a slow scaling due to his need of both mana AND raw damage. If he didn't have the need to build out muramana every single time or if his Q didn't need such a high base CDR to even be optimally used, he would be so much better.
