It's mostly due to Pulsefire. Ezreal is a highly skill dependant champion. All his spells are skillshots and he desperately needs good positioning and a team that can protect him. He is not really a pick-up-and-play champion and even harder to master.

Because of the Pulsefire skin release, Ezreal has been getting a lot more attention lately. Many players are just now starting to play him and, due to lack of experience, failing.

The same thing happened with Gatekeeper Galio on a smaller scale. I saw many new Galio players that were just awful popping up after that skin came out. But there weren't as many as with Ezreal, and Galio is a bit more forgiving than Ezreal so they didn't fail quite as much, but it's the same idea.

I imagine when Gentleman Cho'Gath first released there were a lot of missed Ruptures.
