Why does Riot insist on allowing Ryze to have an instant targeted root in every rework?

The ability is one of the main reasons why he's been cancer in the last million iterations of his kit. That thing needs to go or he'll always be unfun to play against.

I think the cancer part has always been "everything resets everyone I cast a spell." The root in and of itself wasn't bad, it was the fact that you could permanently root someone that was.

Because it's one of the most defining abilities Ryze has?

literally the only memorable spell he has.

Flux has always been the most iconic, actually, if you don't count Q spam. W only gets attention because its hard CC.

Properly using it is what makes someone a good Ryze player.

Most people don't even know it lowered MR by a percentage. It made his combos absurdly powerful when used properly.
