How to play as Ezreal

If Caitlyn controls the push, take safe farm instead of forcing an all-in; keep enough health and mana to follow up on a gank or join the next fight.

Keep Arcane Shift(E) for Caitlyn's 90 Caliber Net(E) or another catch; if you do blink forward, aim away from her net and check whether the enemy support can punish your landing.

Mystic Shot(Q) hits the first enemy unit and reduces Ezreal's cooldowns when it connects, while Essence Flux(W) passes through minions to mark a champion or objective; minion cover only blocks one of his two main poke spells.

Caitlyn's 90 Caliber Net(E) slows its target and knocks her back; Ezreal's Arcane Shift(E) lets him blink to a new position during a catch.

How to play as Caitlyn

Use minions to block Mystic Shot(Q), but keep moving while Essence Flux(W) is travelling because it passes through the wave.

Push when your support can help hold space and you have accounted for the enemy jungler; Ezreal can farm safely under tower, so use the wave pressure for plates instead of forcing a kill.
