How to play as Ezreal

If Bard roams, use Mystic Shot(Q) to collect the wave from range and avoid contesting a two-versus-one until he returns; Bard players recommend roaming when your wave is safe.

When Bard lands Cosmic Binding(Q) or another crowd-control catch, follow promptly with your damage rather than letting the stun window pass.

Bard's Cosmic Binding(Q) can stun after hitting a wall or another unit, giving Ezreal a held target for follow-up damage.

How to play as Bard

Roam when the wave is safe for Ezreal to manage alone; his range and Arcane Shift(E) make him a safer ADC to leave than most, but a bad wave can still force him into a two-versus-one.
