How to counter Ezreal

  1. Stand behind your minions: Mystic Shot hits the first unit in its path.

  2. All-in him when Arcane Shift is on cooldown, since it is his only escape.

  3. Trade with him early; he needs two items before his poke really hurts.

  4. Move sideways to dodge Mystic Shot instead of walking straight back.
