"Minions", that's kind of hilarious. FWIW, Rapacious and I hardly ever agree on anything, and I think he's a pompous ass. If this makes me a "minion", I wonder what his enemies look like. No, I weighed in because it's pointless to argue against people that are 1) making mistakes all over the place in their arguments, and 2) have no record to measure up against.

What you say about AP Ezreal vs. AD has some nuggets of truth to it, but you undercut your own argument by appealing to high elo players and making a big deal about Trueshot Barrage. For the first, I have only this to say: M5 showed that even the top-ranked players get tunnel-vision. For the second, note that the *VAST* majority of Trueshot's pepper comes from the base damage, and that the AP ratio is only 67% more cost-effective dollar for dollar than the AD ratio.

AD Ezreal's ult may not be boss at clearing a lane full of minions, but it certainly does enough damage to be worth noting in a teamfight. A typical full-bore AD build is still going to have in the neighborhood of 800-900+ pre-MR damage on the first hit of the nuke. This isn't as much as a solid AP or hybrid build, but it's certainly not playing in the sandbox, either. Afterwards, AD Ezreal is chewing away at the nearest targets with Q and hard-hitting autoattacks, blinking out of range with E and ruining the DPS of whoever is nearby with W.

It's a valid way to play him.
