Why no sightstone you ask? simply: because it would mean spending the few gold (by comparsion...) on a defensive item, which can be rendered useless via the detection thingy (dunno the correct name). It's fine to do it on Thresh, Blitz and so on, since your usage results mainly from the CC - but if you want to go offensive, you have to pull trough with it.

Sup Ez basically has one goal: get them out of the Lane or make them hug the tower.

If you keep them at 50% health, they can't pull of a good gank even with the jungler.

Fiddle's Silence pushes the lane somewhat, his fear isn't that great unless he'd manage to get behind you it's just a slow. His ranges are WAY shorter than Ez' and his drain immobilizes him, which isn't exactly the best thing against a Ez poking you with skillshots. Also, Fiddle will usually run into mana issues, if he has to drain all the time - and keep in mind that Q isn't the main focus in the skill order of sup fiddle.

Vel'Koz' Innate is meh imo, the damage from it is fairly low, given the fact that it requires 3 skills to hit within 7 seconds. Given his CD and Manacosts, I doubt he can abuse spellthief's edge nearly as much as Ez.

I'd also like to clean up with a little missunderstanding: I do not play Ez Sup because I'm too slow to call mid (as it's an AP build) or something, I play Ezreal ONLY as Support, as I think he's not that great compared to a APC (<3 Veigar) nor do I play ADC. And even if I'd play ADC, Ez would quite likely be one of my last choices, as I dislike his Steroid being so inconsistent.
