"What you just describe was very, VERY specific."

Please. When you have to re-define "utility" for your own narrow purposes, you are already conceding the argument. There is nothing at all niche about AS reduction as utility. Triple multiplicative scaling is insanely powerful, and as a result AS-based champions are more or less a staple on just about every team you're likely to face as Ezreal.

What this argument doesn't address is whether that champ is a strong pick for MOST TEAMS since you're dealing in niche' roles here, like with your poking team.

I did address that: Ezreal is perfectly fine as a generic auto-attack hypercarry. He has a steroid, he has a blink, he has utility, his range is average. He's not as good as Vayne at right-clicking on people, but that doesn't imply that Vayne is a better pick. Ezreal's earlygame isn't a pile of poop, and he does bring other things to the the table that she does not.

People stumble with Ezreal because they build him as an AD caster on a team that expects him to carry. Sorry, but if you are bot lane with a support, your job is probably going to be "farm up a bunch of items and blow up faces at the 30+ minute mark", and that means no Manamune for you. It's not a problem with his kit, it's a problem with how people play him.
