Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Hwei's ability to control space with long-range poke and CC against Ezreal's skillshot poke and mobility.
Hwei wins short trades by punishing Ezreal stepping up for CS, while Ezreal prefers safe farming and extended poke trades behind minions.

Trading pattern

Punish Ezreal's last-hit animations by stepping forward with auto and (Q) when enemy support is out of zone or cooldowns.
Avoid punishing if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as Ezreal can safely use (E) to escape.
Use (E) CC choice to disrupt (Q) poke and punish his positioning when (E) is on cooldown.

Danger windows

(E) dash up with support follow-up creates lethal engage windows; respect this to avoid burst trades.
When (Q) is unblocked by minions and (E) is available, he can safely poke and reposition, limiting your punish.
Avoid stepping forward when enemy support controls brush or threat zone, enabling immediate counter-engage.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin minions and create poke angles that deny Ezreal safe (Q) access.
At level 2, hold (E) defensive CC to punish Ezreal if he uses (E) aggressively without support cover.
Position to punish Ezreal's last-hit attempts on caster minions when enemy support cannot trade back.

Power spikes

Level 3 grants full spellbook options; use this to vary poke and hold CC for Ezreal's engage attempts.
Level 6 (R) unlocks all-in potential; track (R) to commit or reset trades safely.
First completed mage item increases poke and wave control, making Ezreal's pre-item trades riskier to contest.

Win conditions

Convert poke and CC control into denying Ezreal CS leads by punishing his last-hit attempts.
Use wave control and poke pressure to force Ezreal recalls before first item spikes and dragon setups.
Leverage level 6 all-in with (R) to secure kills or force Ezreal under tower, gaining plates and dragon priority.
