If he's going to be a tanky bursty sustained damage bruiser mage with a point click snare that scales off of mana, AP, and indirectly double-dips in AP, why is he manaless after his first back?
Ryze's current kit is fine. It's horribly overtuned, though. He should have a flat + percentage of current mana cost on all of his spells, and have some mana refund for landing his Q.
You do understand that A) He still runs out of mana easily and B) he is sacrificing a chunk of gold for tear, gold that you can use to get an item that will win you lane early on.
Ryze is not tanky anymore they killed it with removal of spell vamp. If you learn combos and ult kinda like fid to the back line he works well after an engage. Q e e Q e Q combo works if they squish but takes longest time. Q e Q w Q e Q second best option but only for single target. Malz outperforms him tremendously though so unless E gets buffed he will stay at a bad Winratecuz u know mechanics.
