Your Q (Mystic Shot) reduces all your cooldowns by 1.5s when it hits — spam Q to keep your abilities constantly available.
E (Arcane Shift) is a dash + burst — save it defensively unless you're sure of the kill.
W (Essence Flux) marks the target — follow up with a Q or auto to trigger the bonus damage.
Your R (Trueshot Barrage) travels across the entire map — use it to finish fleeing targets or clear a wave while splitting.

Playing against Ezreal
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Stay behind minions: his Q is blocked by units, unlike most ADCs.
When Ezreal uses his E offensively, he has no escape for 19-13s — that's the moment to all-in.
He's weaker than most ADCs in the late game because he relies on skillshots — force front-to-back teamfights.
Ezreal power spikes at Muramana + Trinity: before these items, he deals less damage than other ADCs.
