Ezreal Counters

The top champs globally to counter Ezreal include Nidalee, Gragas, and Jarvan IV. These champions are all good at countering Ezreal with decent win rates over 57%. Even if these Ezreal counter picks are not chosen in your lane, it's not a good idea to choose him into one of these matchups. They will most often destroy Ezreal.

Yet, if the opposite team choses either Lillia or Trundle, Ezreal mains should seriously consider selecting him, as he easily crushes these champions with win rates over 52% against both ofthem.

Exploit Ezreal's early game: Ezreal takes some time to scale up due to his itemization, which makes him vulnerable in the early game. Make the most of this stage and seek to dominate him before he gains his footing.

Capitalize on his cooldown periods: Ezreal's E ability gives him strong escape potential, but it has a long cooldown. Monitor this ability and strike when it's down to burst him out with no chance of escape.

Use ranged crowd control (CC): Ezreal can buffer his E in response to CC abilities. However, he struggles with ranged CC which forces him to play more defensively. Utilize ranged CC abilities to undermine his mobility.

Focus on poke damage: Ezreal consistently damages with his W and Q abilities, almost forcing opponents out of the lane. To counter this, ensure you return fire with your own poke damage to keep him on his toes.

Watch out for his Ultimate R: Ezreal�s Ultimate R has a very short cooldown and allows him to deal considerable damage. Be aware of its potential and always prepare to dodge or defend against it.

Outlast in late game: Despite his strong performance in the early to mid-game, Ezreal starts to fall off in the late game due to difficulty in killing tanks. If you can hold out during early stages, you'll find the late game more advantageous.

Prevent his Tear stacking: Ezreal needs to stack his Tear for his maximum potential. Deny him opportunities for stacking, and you'll limit his overall damage output.
