If your midlaner is being camped, it is because you are not putting enough pressure anywhere else

I play Ryze mid and I am extremely aggressive. I can only ward so much and I'm often camped or have to 1v2 my lane. I wouldn't mind this if the rest of my team utilized this information and used it to their advantage. I just played a game where their botlane support would gank mid with their jungler. I would try to waste their time as much as I could but when I look botlane they're not pushing or trying to kill their ADC. This happened repeatedly.

All I am trying to say is that when one lane absorbs some pressure, you MUST make use of the relief to push your own advantage. If you don't, you're simply asking to lose the game.

No the problem is you not knowing when to play aggressive or when not to. Stop blaming your other laners & jungle for you having 1 play mode of going ham then getting smashed

Ryze is among the weakest early game champions in the game. You do not want to start fights early unless you want to int.

Know when to play aggressive and when to play safe. If you don't have a ward in both bushes or can't see certain enemies on the map (like a roaming support), you probably shouldn't be attacking in ganking range.

How is Ryze weak early game? He has one of the best early games out of any midlane champion because of how his Q works. He can be punished, but that pertains to any champion.

Okay, so let's say I am at fault. Say that I was playing too aggressive and I get ganked. That is when botlane/toplane should be playing aggressive right? They don't

because he opens item 3070 which isnt really a combat item and provides shit AP until he really charges it and get it into item 3040 while being low range and damage can be blocked with minions

He gets damage from mana scalings. Also minions are great for him, as he can E-E-Q to clear the wave and get free poke.

He has one of the worst early games because he doesn't have the mana he needs. Without the items to give him mana, he can't do a lot without going oom, and then he's easy pickings.

And no, just because you get ganked, doesn't mean everyone else is capable of being aggressive. Their lanes have nothing to do with your own unless they have mid is actually missing.

I think I found your problem... "I play Ryze mid and I am extremely aggressive." I think if you continue playing with that mindset, you'll stay Gold for your 3rd year in a row. Maybe it's time for a paradigm shift?
