About Ryze...

I think Riot does ALOT of good things for the balance of the game and to keep things competitively sound. Be that in the game with numbers / kit changes or outside the game. (Think all the work they are doing contacting isps and finally moving the NA server) but I really don't like what you have done with Ryze. For one, you guys talk alot about champs having clear weaknesses, but Ryze is something different. He essentially makes anyone who doesent have a ranged auto attack irrelevant. Ontop of that, he took a page out of the good ol' URF handbook and smacked it right inside his spellbook. He has NO cooldowns! He can just chain blast you for days and there is 0 counterplay because he is rewarded with a nice shield and nice spellvamp. Ontop of that, staying together is the worst thing you can do, hell just bounce spells and reck you even hard. Split up and you have no chance at killing the guy. His range is short, but thats not a problem when he can bulldoze anything in his path.
