Don't get me wrong, he has some good match-ups mid that have nothing to do with the surprise factor. Basically if you are a zone-control mage and/or rely on skillshots, Ezreal is going to defecate on your chest, because Arcane Shift jumps your zone and jukes skillshots. Off the top of my head: Zyra, Anivia, Brand, Cassio, Morgana, Lux, etc are going to claw out their own eyeballs against an AP Ezreal.

But those things have nothing to do with playing him AP, those are just match-up advantages that he has. AD or Hybrid could accomplish more or less the same thing in the same role, which leaves one wondering why exactly you're playing AP in the first place.
