RIP Ryze, left for dead patch 6.3.

Huh, whats happening?

I've been playing Ryze for many years now. He is one of my mains on all my accounts and I've studied him so deeply for so long that I know all his ins and outs and his math in the uttermost detail. I can tell you that there are a lot of ways to shut him down completely even early game...

I ain't a high elo player - went to higher gold division on one of my oldest accounts...yet this nerf is ridiculous...and I wander what the professional players like Bjergsen or Faker would have to say about this....

If this nerf goes live, Ryze will surely become a useless champ.

What is the point in doing this experiment Riot ? This is a legendary mage from League series, this is not the way you should treat him even in your craziest crowd control experiments !

I am a main ryze and capping to 5 skills is really redicolous.. It's closed.. Yorick and urgot will be more played probably!

So ok, this Patch got live.....wtf. I became a Ryze Main too, but than He got nerfed so Hard. There is no way to play him for now. I hope that Riot is going to change their mind :/

I think the worst was that Riot had the AUDACITY to say: "well if you were only casting 5 spells during your passive, then there's no change to you, but higher level play...etc."

It's like...are you left clicking each spell individually? Like in what crazy universe can someone only push 5 buttons that have .25 second cast times in 5 seconds?

His entire rework has just been failure after failure, just revert him to old Ryze, at least he was fun to play then and actually had a reason to build CDR.
