The problem is, not all adc's are fit to do the same thing. Vayne is a hyper carry, she has hella crazy DPS and can tumble FA DAYZ(self peel), but in turn she has a hard early game. Jinx has crazy DPS too, but she has no self peel so if a, let's say Jax, jumps on her she is pretty much done unless she is crazy fed.. or her whole team helps to peel. Caitlyn has that sieging potential. Ezreal has poke, peel, AOE ult, and AS sterioid. He kinda has a bit of everything (like you said, Jack of all Trades). The thing is, if you pick an EZ into a Vayne lane and then you DON'T shut down Vayne down early OR if you do shut her down but then you let the game drag on.. don't expect to really win the game. Ezreal is safer than Vayne. When I see a Vayne pick on the other team and see their team consists of divers (Jax, Nocturn, etc) I pick Ezreal because he can peel himself but still deal damage. What do you mean standard ADC build? There are two current paths, well three.. let's count them. There's the BT/PD build, BT/Tri, BOTRK/Tri, and in Korea they are actually playing Ezreal a decent amount. They go the BotRK/Tri path, since his Q applies the on-hit of BotRK and also it's active helps with self peel. The highest priorities for them over there though is Twitch (when he isn't banned), and Lucian. But still, they play Ezreal. And not to mention, I've been wrecked by an Ez in lane as Vayne and once I get behind, I can't 1vs1 him unless I catch up. If you get ahead with Ez, you probably want to group up asap and finish the game before you allow Vayne to come back. Personally, I think he might not be the strongest/best pick, but he is a decent pick.
