''The same could be said about most AP carries. ''

Not when most mages have over twice the farming speed of AP Ezreal, and better harass that isn't blocked by minions. The two points you keep shuffling around and addressing, but constantly fail to disprove.

AP Ezreal has a modest poke, and Arcane Shift, but relying on that to set up shots for harassment just means you WILL go OOM and Zone first.

Other Mages have to choose between farm and harassment, but they have CC, better targeting, and more consistent damage.

The only argument you've been able to provide against that is "Sheen and Arcane Shift will cover all of my weaknesses" when in reality most competent players will force you to provoke minion wrath or compromise your cover to poke.

Competent players do not stand around like retards vs skillshot champs.

(So why doesn't AD Ezreal have to put up with this? Largely due to the fact that he's a bot laner w/Support. Supports counter minion wrath, open shots up by herding minions, provide counter-harass to discourage aggression, and most importantly, CC. AP-Ezreal in Mid gets NONE of these benefits. In order to herd, you have to provoke minion wrath, which is free harass for the enemy mage.)
