Who Wins
- You lose level 2 fights due to Bard's Q stun and Caitlyn's superior range, but you win level 6 all-ins if you can land W engage since your R execution threat forces them to play defensively.
- Your sustain from passive helps you survive their poke better than most supports.
Synergy & Trading
- Your best trading pattern is W engage when Caitlyn steps up for CS, immediately followed by Q-auto-E combo while Ezreal follows with his damage.
- Always try to W through minions to avoid Bard's Q stun, and use your E heal to sustain through their return damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 3 since your W provides excellent gank setup and your sustain lets you leave lane in poor states.
- Optimal roam timings are when the wave is pushing toward you and Ezreal can safely farm under tower, typically after successful trades that proc your passive healing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never W engage without checking for Bard's Q angle, as his stun can completely negate your engage and leave you vulnerable to Caitlyn's headshot combo.
- Avoid staying in extended trades when your passive healing isn't active, as you'll lose the sustain war against their superior range.
