its that dumb shield making you unable to trade with him that imo if removed would make him totally balanced
ryze isnt fundementally op, just too stacked. why is that shield in his damn kit
L Psy Kongroo1 votesYou're supposed to trade with him when he DOESN'T have his shield up. Ryze has very clear points in his play pattern where he is vulnerable. If he ever uses W carelessly, or you see his passive has only a few stacks, that's a prime opportunity to go in for a trade. He's also got a fairly weak early game. Abuse him in lane before he gets his Tear/Catalyst and you'll be fine for a while.

its not the laning that makes ryze broken, though yea that's broken too. Its the way he can melt full mr maokai with ultimate active. And then turn around and melt alistar with his ult active.

Woook3r1 votesHe would be a lot closer. That shield is about 600 hp when he gets enough of them.
