Thoughts on the new patch and ap ezreal

General thoughts about the new patch:



Devourer seems really underwhelming because unlike the old one, it doesn't stack like it used to on the machete buy, so unless you secure a lot of kills/assists/crabs or dragons, getting it to 30 stacks takes around 17-25m (as jungler)



It seems like a jungle only item except for maybe top shyvanna. ADC + devourer seems excessively weak and requires you to secure either dragons or rift scuttlers to get ahead. (only would work on vayne/kog? in 1v2 scenarios or scenarios where you're lane is already better)



In the jungle, nobody who didn't use devourer would switch to it now



Good on skarner, yi, shyvanna, diana?, kayle, nocturne?, udyr?



Ap items:

new rylais/lyandries seems good especially on champions that bought it before (common sense)



Might be bought on some new champions not limited to: heimer,morde,ap ez, annie, ahri, azir?, kog, ryze, kat.



Rylais might replace old ludens as an ap option if the other team does'nt have mr (same with haunting guise now).



You'll generally just see guise more because it's a strong item for the midgame and now has a great lategame buildpath that's also really strong into tanks.



void is better late game but as a second item purchase seems a little expensive? rightfully so?



All the ap item buildpaths are now easier and probably better (large rod now builds into 5 items yay) except for seraphs cause it needs a large rod instead of a blasting wand



Ryze is god

Cass/singed better

anivia/karthus a little better

TBD kass, kogmaw(<-potential),



Ezreal is still good going runeglaive>DC>void like i suspected Not much change in his general power at all. Still abusable by early rotations as well as early-> mid pressure champions/comps.



I don't think he's a blindable champion blue side unless you suspect the enemy team doens't have a good way to deal with him. Since he has decent matchups against both viktor and azir, he'll prob see general play but not as much as super strong champions such as viktor (pick ban almost every game) or old azir.



He'll see less and less play as more teams/players adapt to his lack of early pressure on the game.
