Ryze has 100% pick ban rate at MSI
and he has won over 90% of it, yet there is no news on Riot wanting to nerf him

Whats pathetic is on their list of previous champion updates, Ryze has already been reworked twice.
They admitted it. Ryze has always have that kit they can not balance from many factors. If they decide to get rid of his broken kit, he would no longer feels like Ryze (the Karma treatment, I call). Soraka is suffering the exact same issue, but she is so reliant on her team that she is not independent and work well with and against everything like Ryze.
So it's fine to keep him OP for god knows how many months while Aurelion Sol has to be nerfed asap.
They should just remove his spamable passive and give him real cool downs with real damage and nerf or remove the mana ratios and problem solved.
