Track: Ezreal's E — Arcane Shift (26–14s cooldown). The blink makes him untouchable — punish the nineteen seconds after he burns it.
Read from Jhin's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ezreal.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Jhin | You win level 1 because your fourth-shot damage beats Ezreal's weak early autos. |
| Level 2 | Jhin | You win level 2 because your W root punishes a champion who wants to poke, not trade. |
| Level 3 | Jhin | You win level 3 because your full kit out-trades his pre-item Mystic Shot poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Jhin | You stay ahead at 4-5 because once his Arcane Shift is baited he has no escape from your root. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because Trueshot Barrage and his stabilizing poke economy come online. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is skill-based because Ezreal's sheen spike ramps his poke against your fourth-shot burst. |
| Two+ items | Ezreal | Ezreal wins two-items-plus because his safe, scaling sustained DPS outpaces your reload-gated output. |
You dominate levels 1-4: Ezreal's early poke is weak, your fourth shot and W root out-trade him, and once his Arcane Shift is baited he can't escape your all-in. Bounce the grenade off a minion he is standing behind and the chip arrives whether or not he dodges. His blink is his only exit, so the mark-and-root should be spent after it is gone, not before. Farm through the reload and take the plate; you do not need a kill against a champion who can leave.
