^ What Rapacious said.

Almost no one builds AP on Ezreal anymore because it is significantly weaker than AD. His most useful/spammable move (Q) scales 100% AD but only 20% AP. To give you an idea, most people get around 300+ AD, whereas AP, although cheaper, would require 1500 AP to get the same bonus to Q.

Also when you go AP, your auto attacks and your passive are a lot less effective due to your low AD, slower attack speed, and lack of crits (250% dmg crits if you include IE).

The higher mana cost, higher cooldown, shorter range, slower travelling speed of W and the fact that its now only a team buff (and can't hit minions for farming) makes it very situational and rather lacking.
