@Anonymous: crit build also turns you into a glass cannon that dies instantly. Ezreal can use some crit without hurting himself, Triforce + something else, but massive crit is dangerous.

@Shallsnuffit: Just as a disclaimer, I wouldn't call myself a veteran Ezreal player, as my mains are Amumu/Akali/Anivia, and I play Ez to have a good R-DPS option. My execution is only average at best.

My "standard" build, subject to adjustment based on the circumstances, is: boots, major AD item, Triforce, defensive item (BV or GA), Brutalizer (sold later for something else), situational on-hit (like Black Cleaver). I generally use a Wriggles earlygame, but it never lasts until my lategame build when space gets tight.

I skill 21/0/9, and generally go ignite/flash, tele/flash, exhaust/flash, or smite/flash (Ez is not a great jungler, but he is better than no jungler). Generally don't like rolling without Flash, as it allows me to use Arcane Shift offensively without killing myself for it. Runes are flat AD marks and quints, flat armor seals, flat CDR glyphs (though sometimes I use scaling CDR -- they break even at level 13).

I don't like MP/5 regen runes, because they suck, and I don't like armor pen runes because they aren't as good earlygame as flat AD is. I get my armor pen from Brutalizer and Last Whisper if needed, or Black Cleaver if I want armor reduction.
