While statistically Ezreal is slightly stronger than Caitlyn as ADC, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Ezreal deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Caitlyn deals mainly physical damage (93.51%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Caitlyn, ranking 11th (versus 19th for Ezreal) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Ezreal player to maintain constant pressure on Caitlyn, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
