User blog comment:TheTobarMethod/Umm Ezreal......so your a carry?/@comment-79.175.108.173-20121227134334

I wouldn't call him useless. Mystic shot has very low cooldown and very high damage and huge range, excellent tool for hit and run, not to mention bush checking due to low mana cost. Ultimate is very good for cleaning waves of minions, sniping an enemy or firing it through enemy team while teamfight is on.

Arcane shift is just built in flash with lower cooldown and damage.

Ezreal is not your standard AD carry, you need black cleaver and last whisper, then he becomes very strong because of mass armor reduction and can freely focus tanks and still kill them easily.
