''I'm not raging, i'm just facepalming heavily at your obvious distortion of data, and at your feigned ignorance over it, while trying to argue semantics with me to prove your point. ''

''First off, it doesn't really matter what items both pick up, but you clearly stated that you pick up sheen early, as well as a tear, which off the top of my head is 2.4 k gold. for that cash, xerath, or any ap for that matter, can pick up sorcs and about 2-3 doran rings. Take your standard runes versus magic pen reds, armor/mana regen seals, AP/lvl blue, flat ap quints, and 21 in offense, the ap road. I'll leave the rest of the math at your discretion. ''

A tear, T1 boots, and a sheen come to 2595 gold.

So, Xerath can pick up sorc shoes and 3 dorans.

Assuming each took ignite/flash, and ignite is on cooldown, to make calculations simpler

This, with masteries and runes, gives Xerath +97.8075AP, +28.55 magic pen, 19% magic pen, 84.31 armor and 30 MR, and he increases his damage output by 1.5%.

For ezreal I take Hybrid pen reds, AP/level blues, mr per level yellows and AP quints.

I take 21-0-9 masteries, picking up both %penetration, with the flat AD, AP per level and 1% extra damage.

This gives me 55.3 AP, +9 physical pen, +10% physical pen, +5.1 magic pen, 10% magic pen, 47 Armor, and 39 MR.

Xerath's burst will be [780 + 3.1*(97.8075)]*1.015*[1/{1+(.39-.2855)*.81}] = 1013.65 true damage.

Ezreal's burst will be {2*[115+1*(55.2+3*10)+.2*(55.3)+(77.2 (sheen) ]*[1/{1+(.8431-.09)*.9}]+[613+2.35*(55.3)]*[1/{(1.30-.051)}*.9]}*1.01 = 960.305 true damage

This is a minor difference in damage, considering AP ez has a built in escape mechanism, shorter cooldowns, and longer permanent range.

Again, if you were to add 3 seconds worth of basic attacks, ezreal's burst would be just as high, if not higher than xerath's, but I haven't got the time, nor the desire to prove that.

''and again, pushing is not farming. What's so hard to understand?''

Pushing is not farming, I agreed with that actually. Ezreal farms by last hitting with his Q, and E when necessary and safe.
