Removing Ryze's snare?
It is not far fetched to believe that a lot of Ryze's power budget goes into his W, it is also what makes Ryze so frustrating to play against and impossible to balance.
He already has a lot of damage and with his snare, they can't buff his damage without making him overwhelmingly oppressive.
If they were to remove it, they could add so much more power elsewhere in his kit, and potentially balance him. They could increase his range, mobility, defense, almost anything.
He would still be an artillery mage, with more counterplay and more overall power and utility.
I'm not saying he shouldn't have any CC at all, just a different one. Maybe a grounding effect similar to Cassiopeia. Maybe something that goes with his theme where you mark the target and his current location, after a one second delay the target is teleported back to where it was a second prior. Actually i really like that last idea.
What do you guys think?
