Let’s go ahead and talk a little bit more about our support, Lux. Lux is a long ranged mage who supplies a lot of burst at longer cooldowns early game. It is essential to be very conservative with her spells early or you will run out of mana. While a safe pick, it’s definitely better to look at lux as very passive aggressive. She is capable of scouting ahead or even denying the enemy laners a pathway to easy CSing with her E – Lucent Singularity with this tool the enemy will always be on their toes. On top of this amazingly safe tool she has her Q – Light Binding which is far more aggressive and really is the spell that makes this whole lane. The bind is a 2 second root to which ever target it hits first and also binds the 2nd target behind the first for 1 second. Also a part of her tool is her W – Prismatic Barrier. This is an excellent tool for anticipated trades since it allows you to shield your whole team if positioned correctly. If missed it is very forgiving because lux can always reposition herself to let the shield loop to her teammates. Last but not least everyone’s favorite ultimate, Final Spark. Perfect for sniping down fleeing targets, securing buffs, and/or objectives. This laser is uninterruptable and activates Lux’s passive, after activated it also reapplies Illumination. This ultimate should always be used if caught in a really tight situation as it applies a ton of damage that could change the tide of a team fight.
Now onto everybody’s favorite explorer. Ezreal is a medium ranged ADC, with long ranged poke damage. He is able to kite in sticky situations and supply burst to compliment his support lux. His Q – Mystic Shot can be used as a harass or farming tool. It applies on-hit effects and actually reduces the cooldowns of ALL of Ezreal’s abilities by 1 second. It’ll be your primary tool for following up on your support’s bindings. W – Essence flux is amazing, it supplies any of the teammates that you shoot it through with an increased attack speed buff! What’s even better is that you can use this as a harass tool in lane to harass your lane opponent THROUGH minions. If you find that you can’t seem to land any Q’s since they are standing behind their minions W is perfect for by passing that. Ezreal’s E – Arcane shift is his escape tool. Predominately used as a kite/escape panic button it can also be used to supply burst if you know you’ll be okay to go all in. When activated this skill targets the nearest enemy unit. Now onto your ultimate. Ezreal’s R – Trueshot Barrage is a global ulti that deals damage to each enemy unit it passes through. The downside is that for each subsequent target it hits the damage is minimized to as low as 30%. It’s very crucial to make sure that you don’t have a hoard of creeps in front of your enemies before you let this bad boy go.
Most of this lane really is paced by your support. It’s best to wait for Lux to land a snare and play safely. Take advantage of the fact that that’s a free Q, W, E (E- If the opposing laners are low enough. You need to be careful about using your Arcane Shift because sometimes it might be necessary to save it as an escape option.), and R. Keep in mind that while Ezreal unleashes his full barrage of spells that Lux will also be using her ult simultaneously to his. This combo will melt faces against any squishy bot lane before they have the chance to run. What makes this lane so good is the versatility of Lux with Ezreral. Ezreal wants to poke, Lux will poke. Ezreal wants to disengage and kite Lux can help kite as well. Same goes with initiates. Lux does a good job of locking targets down for Ezreal that he can’t miss his skill shots. In terms of their weaknesses it’s best to have lux stay safe and in the back. She’s prone to being hard CC’d and an easy kill. Supports such as Annie and Leona will give you a hard time. In terms of synergy it’s a fun skill and kill lane. Have fun blinding and nuking your enemies J
