It's not moot at all if Ezreal use to be able to wreck another Champs' attack speed...

Ezreal definitely needs a reworking. All his skills scale off of AP and yet he's by most regards an ADC and not APC. Removing the only real utility of his W has left him 3/4's of a useful kit.

Corki differs from Ezreal in the sense that Corki does mainly AoE attacks and much more of a natural tank shredder. Their roles are alike in that they are ranged ADCs but differ on many levels. Corki, if anything, has a better kit than Ezreal: passive tank shredder, skill shot AoE, moving AoE armpen, longer flash with lasting AoE effects (albeit on a slightly longer CD), and spammable ult.

Kat and Master Yi aren't even ranged ADC... they're assassins. Yi is anti soft CC and can barrel his way through soft CCs. Kat has a 6 second flash and 2 highly damaging AoEs.

The point was that 90% of the ADCs with the exception of Ezreal, Sivir (who is as old as this game gets and unlikely to ever see any real update), and Corki (who leans towards more map control with all those AoEs). Yeah, you can still win games with Ezreal if your skill > your opponent's but it should be somewhat obvious that he's lost substantial viability.

His hybrid skills doing both physical (Q) and magic dmg (W, E, R), although nice in theory, has created only one truly viable build which can't really benefit on half of his kit to say the least.
