"But if the entire enemy team is AS-based, save for the AD carry..."

And right there, your argument falls apart because of the word "IF".

Why? Because "IF" means "Circumstantial". Meaning yes, Essence Flux can shut down some VERY VERY SPECIFIC TEAMS, but the odds of encountering those teams is exceptionally low.

Why? Because teams in this metagame aim to take at least 1 or 2 AP champs (nearly all of whom are SKILL-BASED, NOT AS-BASED) a tank (who are also largely not AS-based, and all of whom that are have alternate non-AS Builds. Like Shen.) an AD Carry (whom you can shut down if you hit) and a support or other such wildcard that brings CC to the table (who are also generally not AS-Based, though they may build Zeke's to support the AD Carry).

The team you mentioned is but one team of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of possible combinations. Even with permutations your argument fails because it's simple enough to show that most champs are NOT BUILT WITH STACKING ATTACK SPEED.

Ezreal's Flux is therefore only reliable against AD Carries, who stack Crit-Speed with some damage to get exponential damage output from their starting position. That's 20% of the enemy team. Maybe 40% if their jungler is also AS-reliant (but most aren't. Even Shyvana and Udyr often don't build more than Wit's End).

And until you get Essence Flux to level 4-5, it isn't all that effective. Nevermind the ALMIGHTY CRIPPLING, GAMECHANGING CC you make it out to be (and I must assume you're doing this based on the previous statement that it's somehow better than both Ahri's Charm AND Wall of Pain. It factually isn't. Those spells are far less-circumstantial)

You're free to believe what you want, but I do not stand for spreading flagrant misinformation.
