AP ezreal has a higher single target burst than almost every AP assassin.

AP ezreal has a much higher sustained than almost every other AP carry.

AP ezreal however lacks any hard CC, making his mid game difficult.

I refuse to play him as an AD however because his AP build is so much better endgame, and because there are other AD carries out there who generally perform better.

But when I build AP, I start out building like his triforce build, with a tear and sheen. If I can get to a point where I've got my AA sorc shoes and lichbane (usually by 20-25 minutes) without feeding, then the rest of the game will be good.

On this note, I have never lost mid lane as AP ezreal except then the enemy jungler babysits their carry. And when that happens, our other lanes tend to dominate anyways.
