Okay, please don't flame me for my "unusual" build (I call it "unusual" because I'm fairly new to Ezreal and don't really have a full understanding of his kit and what-not).

I start off with boots and 3 health pots and 1 Mana Pot (I run 0/9/21 masteries and take the extra gold). Then I finish the CDR boots, mainly for my ult so I can use it as often as necessary. Then I rush Manamune because i always seem to find that Ezreal without Mana early/ mid game is a dead Ez, or at least an open target. The only counter argument against this is AD Ez, but Ez isn't capable of being an efficient AD champ early/ mid game. He is reliant on his abilities to be efficient imo, but he needs AD once his abilities go off cd. After Manamune, I first build some defense like Banshees/ FoN for AP heavy teams; or I build Frozen Heart if the other team is full on AD. I use frozen heart because it gives Mana, CDR, Armor, and a nice passive that will give an edge against other AD carries. THEN, I begin to build damage. I personally build Ez as Hybrid-ish, because I find that his Q nuke is already quite powerful without extra AP. I go for malady, for a nice AS boost and a beautiful passive that coincides with both his AS and his kit. Just beautiful. Then, depending on how the enemy itemizes, I either go for Nashor's tooth for even more AS and AP, or I go for Trinity Force. I finish off with either Guardian's, if the enemy team is doing fairly well, or I get Frozen Mallet or Warmog's for extra survivability. I focus on survivability a lot, because Ez is very squishy, and he is no good dead. I play Ez as a major kiter who runs and shoots his Q and W from a distance without ever being hit by the other champ if possible. Against other ranged carries, I just attempt to out damage them when trading if it is possible. If not, then I try and avoid a conflict whenever it's an option and harass them without being harassed myself. During teamfights and skirmishes, i stand back from the middle of the fight and pick out the carries and squishy champs from behind my tankier teammates.

I haven't gotten used to using his ult yet, but I need input on my Ez build/ gameplay so far.
