A skillshot duel against rotations — your Q cycles faster and your E dodges the one that matters.

This is Ezreal's own plan; across 18,512 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | Level 1 is even-to-yours: Ziggs' poke kit isn't online yet so your Q and his auto trade evenly. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 favours Ziggs: Bouncing Bomb comes online and outranges your Mystic Shot for free chip. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 favours Ziggs: Satchel plus minefield let him zone you off the wave and poke safely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 favour Ziggs: his long-range bomb poke and zoning control the lane from outside your range. |
| Level 6 | Ezreal | Level 6 favours you: your E burst and repositioning punish his immobility while his R is only a poke tool. |
| First item | Ezreal | First item favours you: your Q-Sheen trades beat him when his Q or E is on cooldown. |
| Two+ items | Ezreal | Two-plus items favour you: max-range poke and E mobility crush his stationary, escapeless frame. |
Level 1 is even-to-yours before his kit is online, but you must respect that his Q will soon outrange you; grab safe last-hits and avoid walking up into an early bomb. He owns the range war, so stop trying to win it and win the farm race instead: take everything you can reach without entering a bomb line, and let the wave absorb the rest. Save your blink for the moment his minefield is under you, not for the bomb, because the slow is what brings his support into range.
