Plz riot, for the love of god add an "asking for assistance" ping to his ult. So basically ryze would cast his ult and there would be a ping at the position he was when he cast it. You did something similar for 
, give the blue man some love. If it's a bad idea then can we atleast have some clarification as to why it's bad?
Igotlazy1 votesDoesn't he already have a "Going here" ping when the Ult is cast? Along with a giant flash of blue on ally screens?

QQsha1 votesWhat Ryze needs is for the ult to feel smoother (that camera pan shit is obnoxious) and for a reduction in E's mana cost. Other than that, they can give back his mana scalings and maybe a bit of level 1 base damage. I mean, when my auto attack feels like better damage than one of my spells, that feels really awful. Season 4 Ryze had a 6.5 maximum mana scaling. Season 5 Ryze has 4% maximum mana scaling (which is pretty sick considering how many Qs he used to be able to get off in a combo: ~9). Now with the current Ryze, which casts spells at around the same speed as Season 4 Ryze, has a 3% BONUS mana ratio. Yes, this number is technically bigger than it looks because you get more bonus mana if you build more AP. But even with 1000 AP. the amount of damage you get from the mana you buy is 4.5%, plus 1.5% of your base. So the damage is still lower. This is ignoring the fact that you can't even build 1k AP on Ryze. I mean, you actually get more damage from building AP than you do for building mana. I understand that they don't want an unkillable Ryze to come back into the meta, but seriously... Your "scaling" items don't even give you decent damage. So you're sinking a ton of gold into items that literally give you next to no value until around the 25-30 minute mark.
RisenDarkKnight1 votesOne thing you are not mentioning is that his Q does plus 100% damage when you fire a max rank E right before. So that effectively increasing the mana ratio of his combo. And you can E -> Q every 1.24 seconds with max cdr.
Sure you don't get the full potential of this till lvl 13, but even rank 1 E -> Q combo does an extra 40% damage.
QQsha1 votesYou forget that his old Q also had better base damage and his E used to take off a bunch of MR to further increase the damage. As it is, you get no access to scaling damage without getting a hefty amount of AP, and even then, the AP gives you more damage than the mana does. So the empowered Q does the same damage as old Q but you have to use 2 spells to get that damage. And the rest of the kit does less damage and is less accessible compared to before.
