I took a look at competitive Ezreal games on 8.12 and 8.13 in EULCS, NALCS and LCK. I focused on tear timings and Muramana transofmations.

Ezreal is often being picked as safe choice for botlane. Mobile, usually tankier than traditional ADCs with a potential to take over games. He can be left unattended in the botlane and survive 1v2 comfortably.

With complete overhaul of botlane meta traditional ADCs became sort of a luxury for the players. Non-ADCs provide so much to the team that you need to have a solid composition or you need to utilize your pick to the maximum.

Ezreal’s power spike is strictly connected to his tear item transofrmation and completion of sheen item. While absolute timing of tear purchase can vary depending on the course of the game, the relative time between tear purchase and transformation is strictly connected to one’s hard work (of spamming Ezreal spells — its not like he’ll run out of mana).

In a competitive game every second matters — so let’s see who is the best at stacking tear.
