@Usiar The nerf to Mystic Shot wasn't that bad, but the nerf to his attack speed and passive was just devastating. He already has some of the lowest base stats in the entire game and now he has the worst out of any ranged carry. There is literally no reason to choose Ezreal over Ashe, Tristana, and definitely Kog'maw and Miss Fortune. AP Ezreal has never been nerfed beyond use, it simply became less viable to go AP rather than AD. AD's strength was getting a couple of early kills to remain viable throughout the rest of the game, the nerf to his attack speed made it so that he cannot out dps anyone in the entire game, making him useless when it comes to mid-late game. This put him in a very awkward position of being an AD that can't damage and an AP that farms too late into the game to be of any real use. Shen is still viable because of his role, protecting his squishies. TF is still viable because of his role, teleporting and taking down towers. Ezreal is no longer viable because of his role, putting out damage, which doesn't exist anymore. It's simply more viable to pick Miss Fortune, who has some of the best stats in the game, a Q stronger that Ez's. W skill reducing healing by 50%, best skill for mid laning. E skill that does an AoE slow. A ridiculous R move that can do up to 1500 dmg with only a few AD items.

TL;DR Revert all changes in last patch except the Mystic Shot changes. Balanced, check.
