I just realized I only like watching these videos is because I like to hear Drew talk about some random shit i don't really care abt the gameplay or the strats and players he talks about
Serylda's Grudge rn it's a really awkward item for non-lethality builders, since the armor pen scales with lethality, and you also need enemies to be below 50% to proc the slow.
Even for lethality users if you don't go 5 lethality items it's much worse than ldr damage wise. To the point cleaver is probably better for non crit users if they need armor pen but have no lethality
hey drew aside from the crit on Lord Doms grudge got changed to be more a lethality item with the armor pen directly scaling with lethality, so in this build only only get like 22% armor pen from grudge instead of 30% from LDR and you dont get the slow passive on grudge if your opponents over 50% in this new season so LDR having more armor pen and a better passive this season along side him also conveniently already having crit makes it clearly the better option
Here is the explanation for 22:15 .... Serylda's Grudge got changed and now only slows enemies down below a certain HP percentage, while before it always used to slow enemies down when abelites landed. One of the primary reasons Ezreal players used to build that item is because of that slow besides armor pen. Since he is highly skillshot dependent, slowing enemies means juking gets harder for them, making skillshot landing a lot easier. By comparsion, LDR applies bonus damage to enemies with higher HP besides armor pen, and since he is building Essence Reaver already which has crit chance, it allows him to land more crits by weaving autos. This transfers to much more DPS overall.
I think the bigger reason is, seryldas scales with lethality now and he has no lethality in his build so its like a 20% armor pen on seryldas vs 30% armor pen ldr
Even though LDR is clearest the best in terms of damage, I think that people still buys Serylda's for the CDR and a bit of lethality for Ezreal's skills damage, usually you will half the enemy with WEQ (if it's squishy) for the slow as well. As for tank damaging, I personally think that if you play Conqueror+Cut down and have Navori/Shojin, your E will have minimum cooldown so you will always get the tank if they're running away or always escaping from them if they're chasing you, so 80% of the matches you'll probably want Serylda's, this match against TK and Udyr, both of them were laners, TK farming will get the enough gold to buy the true tank itens (not the cheaper support ones), plus TK only plays full frontline for senna freehits and damage, so killing TK/Udyr fast will break enemy team comp. Sorry for bad grammar at all, not a native english speaker, barelly have opportunity to practice as well.
+ He doesn't need to go Frozen Hearth this round, so he will end up building the Navori too. The Crit from LDR will help out, when Navori is build for even more Spell DMG scaling to max it out.@@tdgfelps6957
At 22:24 he buys lord Dom's there because Grudge scales with lethality now instead of being precent armor pen so Lord Dom's gives him more damage against strong armor stackers like Graves and Kench. If the enemy was more squishy, Grudge would be better because of the slow as he wouldn't need as much armor pen to do big damage.
Ldr gives 30% armor pen and the giant slayer passive while seryldas grudge gives 20% +30% of your lethality. You need like 4 lethality items to reach 30% and the slow only works against targets below 50% hp.
LDR also gives at least +4% Ability Damage, due to Giant Slayer, which is half of the benefit of a fully stacked Spear of Shojin. Like OutstandinglySteve said, it gives more damage on Q due to having superior Armor Penetration. EDIT: Clarity
Grudge gives 0.11% per 1 of your lethality (That's 11% btw). You don't hit 30% total until you have 6 full lethality items...meaning you have to sell your boots in order to hit 30% pen. However, it does cap out at 32% + your lethality...so a full lethality build is FAR more armour pen than any other build in the game, however you can't build ezreal like that so Grudge is kinda bait imo.
The lord doms vs grudge is because they fixed grudge so it scales based on your lethality and made the slow only apply when enemies are below 50% HP, so now the item is actually balanced as an assassin item and can’t just be built on any champ with ad
Been playing Ezreal and theory crafting.. but I noticed that during auto-weaving with Qs.... ...that at it felt awkward to Auto-Q, Auto... instead I would Q-Autos (then move)... and it seemed a little smoother BUT if you have W/E up... it seems okay to Auto-Q-(W or E)... theres no waiting around for autos to cd in this case. The auto cd will coincide with that ending of the W or E. Its like patching up the auto cd timers with abilities... Never try to patch up the auto cd smoothly with Q alone.
personaly I LOVE this season! Its so fun watching pro games were noone can predict what champs are being picked or even which lane its gonna play. Its so nice with most champs being equal in power and its just all about mechanics and not about which team gets the better champs. Ofcourse counters are still a thing but to me personaly it seems like its less important than before.
The fact that we're already talking Ezreal nerfs is crazy man. I understood when it was Jhin but Ezreal is an actually fun and mechanically satisfy ADC. Let him have his moment in the sun.
@midbeast the penetration portion on the grudge scales with lethality now, so hes most likely wants the LDR to do more dmg and use the passive giant slayer for TK I guess... Even without the crit being used that much, it is more damage!
@@ez_breezy7406 Oki boomer ^^ Stats speak otherwise, but sure! HP was the weakest stat goldwise per relative health in the last few seasons. Now every item has HP on it and very little resistances. HP 'tanks' really pale to compare to previous seasons resistance tanks. But idk I only play in masters euw.
Honestly smolder as a champion seems pretty weak but whenever I get autofilled and I have a smolder I choose chogath support, it's probably the best support for the champion but nobody knows yet.
He doesn’t buy refillable because with cookies on ez you simply don’t have inventory space for it. You can see when he gets back to lane after 2nd death the cookie spawns into his last slot
Im sorry that you’re feeling depressed, that rly sucks. I can’t promise it will ever get better but I wish you the best of luck. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.🥺💔
Navori is pretty much always better than shojin other than it provides tankiness which is nice. Frozen heart another common option. Horizon focus later also pretty good option.
spear of shojin was never a core item for ezreal and also because technically the items have been reworked, the items are technically new and hence the build is new
You literally can google spear of shojin ezreal and see 20 videos of people doing this build, like man, it takes 0 effort to check it urself lol@@lolnoob5015
As i said in the other comment, it takes you legit 0 effort to google spear of shojin ezreal and you can see 100 people build shojin as CORE, and some videos are not even old@@madamada2936
i have yet to see a single ez build essence reaver manamune shojin as core, myself included, in probably seeing him 50+ games. its most definitely new, people are either stuck going crit or tri force normally but he combined them which i havent seen anyone do(mind you im in d3-masters mmr)
I am not 100% sure!!, but i think in the previous patches the description of LDR had bonus Physical dmg for tankier enemies but now its just bonus dmg meaning all of ezreals abilites benefit from the dmg amplification.
the slow and pen from seryldas scale from lethality now. since you dont build lethality on ezreal you wont get the 30% pen. only the base 20%. the slow is also now only applied to enemies below 50% or their max health. ldr is alot better now for the set 30% pen and all the benefits you previously mentioned :)
There is no way Ezreal is the highest winrate. Master+ is around 52% emerald+ is around 50% meanwhile Miss Fortune is rocking a 54% in all elos with similar pick rate.

yeah the nerf on the percent armour pen to 20% i think is also pretty rough
Even for lethality users if you don't go 5 lethality items it's much worse than ldr damage wise. To the point cleaver is probably better for non crit users if they need armor pen but have no lethality
They should at least make it 70-80%
hmm how about building both serylda and voltaic, Tri>Muramana>serylda>voltaic
This Ezreal can't lose. He reminds me of Baus because he also couldn't lose the bet.
hey drew aside from the crit on Lord Doms grudge got changed to be more a lethality item with the armor pen directly scaling with lethality, so in this build only only get like 22% armor pen from grudge instead of 30% from LDR and you dont get the slow passive on grudge if your opponents over 50% in this new season so LDR having more armor pen and a better passive this season along side him also conveniently already having crit makes it clearly the better option
It's situational now, grudge better in most cases. Way better item on ez.
If you're going crit then go LDR. It's stupid to deny yourself 20% crit chance

Congrats Midbeast for your 500K subscribers! Always enjoy your videos man!
so humble this guy, he waited 30 minutes before telling us he's beaten dopa
Holy moly, 50 minute Midbeast video. This going to be one long edging session! Dattebayo!! :D
The call to run one back and watch another one is why MidBeans is Da GOAT!
Much love Drew, sorry to hear you're feeling depressed. Take care of your mental health

Don't be depressed Midbeast u are a living legend!
Hey Midbeast awesome content m8. can you put a graphic up at the start showing runes and build?
Hey @midbeast - I was rooting for you in the challenge in EU. You did Australia 🇦🇺 proud my dude ❤
Navori Quickblades also with Essence Reaver is kinda nuts on Ezreal rn. Like maybe after ER, Muramana, Spear into Navori or even Navori 3rd.
Maybe do a review on the #1 Kata? Lotus Dao or something
I would love to see a video about Kim-min-jae, also he’s been playing the new lethality build too
Important to note that he always keep passive stacks up when he's looking to fight early. Massive attack speed bonus.
Can you do a comparison vid between irelking and general irel?

Can someone explain why he got only 96 gold at 0:25 ? When you get an assist on someone isn’t usually 150 gold? Am I missing something?
It's because tanks kept ezreal at bay slightly, but in this season they removed all tank items except for perhaps jaksho.
Not at alll.... He just got ridiculous dmg buffs on all 3 of his abilities. Tank items are better than ever.

worlds best iron 4 player
he is the best, its not even close
Xiao Lao ban please! Trying to hit challenger on KR. I think he’s GM rn with a 72 wr. New build as well!👌🏼
Hey Drew, love the content! Can you cover Showmaker's Kog'maw? He builds all three Lost Chapter items for mana (wtf???).
you should review the new xaio lao ban ekko hail of blades setup. he is running korea
the serelda's armor pen scales off of lethality now so if you dont have any lethality it gives 20% instead of 30%
No way how tf did i not know abt this
Well ofc qiyana can build literally any if the assassin items, so I would love to see what beifeng is running
Im sorry that you’re feeling depressed, that rly sucks. I can’t promise it will ever get better but I wish you the best of luck. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.🥺💔
Can you cover the tank corki build that’s popping off in Korea, it’s muramana trinity jak’sho frozen heart steraks
show me some Beifang with new map
Can you make a video about Jukester, he's a EUW challenger xerath otp and he goes manaflow + pom and doesnt take chapter item
The removal of stopwatch saved this game for me. That shit was so terrible for it.
Middleton Largeneck finally back after terrorizing EUW. Those poor souls
Can you do another one of Potent213 whenever he finishes his challenge run? Loved your last vid on him. Ofc only if it fits your schedule! :)
The Baus sends his regards.
What app he is using to see all the stats?
you should cover tarzan seems like he is dominating korea at the moment
that bard was very good in the first game imo
Ali was also a beast in 2nd game
Lord dom's because Serylda's now gives armor pen based on lethality and the slow works only on targets lower than 50%
Navori is pretty much always better than shojin other than it provides tankiness which is nice. Frozen heart another common option. Horizon focus later also pretty good option.
Tahm Kench is a catfish, not a frog... it's a reference to his lore cause he literally catfishes people so he can eat their soul
Great video, Midbeast. 😊 Have a great day, man. 💪

You should do a self analysis of some of your games
That level of ezreal and bard in game 1 is awesome
Bless you midbeast
you love revenge so are we gonna see redemption arc and winning the next bet with baus
I hate that crit stat is wasted. Ez Q requires some interaction with crits
@Midbeast He goes Lord Doms cos this is the patch that the item was swapped to only slow people below 50% HP
hey Drew, you should see the EUW ekko player Tabor
old man drew forgot the tahm rework because mythics were removed at 12:15

imagine being midbeast and going on a first date. she asks - "so what do you do for work". he sighs. "less than baus"
Kinda odd he did not get Navori it's so good for the cdr and also more crit chance
Midbeast how did the bet go?
where can I find this guys builds/match history?
Hallo Midobeasto-san you should make a video about a EUW Warwick top player named Hornlime he hit 1000+ lp last season
Finally someone pronounced Warwick's name correctly.
how did your bet go mid beast?? did you win?!
Did you miss Xiao lao Ban vs Pzzang or what?

Do a T1 Keria game :P his mechanics are clean
you watch live music sober tho? cos they're 1000 times better on e + speed etc
I forgot the last time i won a game in gm with an ezreal in my team
Plz review the xiao lao ban vs pzzang!
Drew do a review on dragdar number 1 ez eu x pro inventor of shadow flame ez
14.3 they gonna buff essence river and nerf ezreal damage.
probably more frozen heart ezreal .
Do a LL stylish review he been killing it in na
That Bard in game 1 was definitely MvP though.
You should take a look at Pants are Dragon he's streaming and like 15 wins away from rank 1
Grudge got gutted this season plus they have a tahm kench and an udyr so even if we had last season grudge this might be a good LDR game.
When will u do a video on solarbacca Mr Midbeast ?
