Farming with AP ezreal is easy when you can wipe out 2+ minion waves every ~35s with one click. In the times you need to save your ult, good timing with lichbane will clear minion waves fast. It also gives AP ez the same/better tower killing ability compared to AD.

I do not, and will not deny that in the late game, most AP carries fall off and AD carries take their place as the primary damage dealer in team fights. I would be a fool to say otherwise.

But lategame AP ezreal puts out significant team fight damage with W and R, and pokes far better than the triforce poke build, while also putting out enough burst to kill any AD carry before taking any considerable damage.

The poking abilities of Xerath, Ziggs and Gragas, despite being AoEs, do significantly less damage than Ez's and have longer cooldowns. Xerath and Ziggs are also lacking in the gap closer/opener. (Xerath's bonus move speed is a joke, and zigg's satchel isn't nearly as good as Ez's teleport.)

The only thing AP ezreal doesn't have over other AP casters is any hard CC.
