Mediocre...kiting...i can't imagine anyone saying that about Blue build Ezreal with a straight face. FWI, Ezreal can out-kite every ADC you just mention with ease and even out DPS them if he can maintain his distance. That's the power of the blue build...the CDR/mana/slow effects allow Ezreal to stay outside of his enemies reach while pumping a constant stream of damage.

No other ADC even builds IBG as an item and only Varus builds Tear to have enough mana for for Q spam. Hell no ADC builds those items side by side. And i'll give you some credit...yes Ezreal's focus is in something other ADC's do...with two small caveats...first, he's better at it than all the others...second he achieves that through a unique combination of items.

Kalista needs a target to kite through her passive. Lucian has to cope with short AA range to pump out most of his damage and get his dash reset. Corki's dash has a massive CD, mana cost and a decent cast time. Vayne has no offensive spells outside of a 550 range. Kindred also has range issues, not to mention their dash has a decent CD outside of their W. On the other hand Ezreal combines spammable poke with the ability to apply on-hit effects and a reset system, which means he has none of the above weaknesses.
