His problem as a mage midlaner is that he has no waveclear in early levels. When he hits level 6, he gains waveclear but it's tied to his ult.

If you're going AP, it's assumed that you're going to max W first. Although W has really good damage, it can't help you with waveclear. You can't max Q either because you need the W damage and it's hard to land in the mid lane.

There was a patch or two where Midlane Ezreal was viable and way too strong. He was allowed to max Q because of the Runeglaive jg item and it gave him waveclear outside of his ult.

I'm certain you could find success with Ezreal mid, but I suggest you experiment with different builds and find your playstyle.

Some common builds are AP Ezreal, AD Ezreal, and Tear Ezreal. Not many people play Ezreal mid so it may be difficult to find some in depth guides online.
