I get that you want to nerf Ryze...

" Ryze Arcane Mastery (Passive) tool tip now notes it only makes next 5 spell casts reduce CD of other spells by overload's cooldown. "

But would you mind not reducing his win rate to 25% with your current nerfs? I play Ryze a lot, and accept completely that he is an unbalanced amalgamation of button smashing (though in a certain order, it's really not difficult to get used to) who is near-impossible to play against under certain common conditions. However, this nerf is far from the way to go and would completely destroy the champion. A few weeks ago, you guys said that you intended for Ryze to be a machine-gunning champion, where's that mindset gone? Is he that problematic that you'd rather have him removed from the game than attempt to fix him normally? Because the former is what your current change will do.

Note: I get that PBE changes don't always go through, but you guys have enough experience with Riot to know that sometimes they do bring out very stupid changes. Also, no, I don't have suggestions for alternatives, I just know that this nerf isn't the way to go.

so what's your suggestion? don't nerf him and let him live few months untouched before rework?

Are they serious with this nerf? 5 abilities is only enough for 2 rotations of abilities, on average he kills people with 4-5 full rotations, if this is the way they're going about it at least make it 10. Or, think of a better way to nerf him that doesn't limit him hard
