How To Counter Ezreal?

One of the best ways to counter Ezreal is to have excellent support. In the late game, focus on him if he uses his E to go all in. He has no other escape if he uses it to engage.

Staying behind minions stops his Q from hitting you. He has weak wave clearing abilities, and you can force Ezreal to farm under his tower and control the lane.

By pushing him under the tower, you force him to use his Q to wave clear. But, to do so, he needs to use a lot of mana. Thus, he’ll run out of mana pretty fast.
