"Then why, pray tell, would someone pick Ezreal over someone more meta like Morgana or Gragas?"

I think utility is the reason. Gragas has tankiness and good AoE, not to mention his amazing ult.

Morgana has a 3 sec snare and a great engage with ult + hourglass, also a 5 sec CC immunity shield!

Ez, well, no CC, squishy, ult is essential in his non-spammable burst. Good escape tho!
