Why Does Ryze Scale SO BAD With Mana?!

He can still pop u like a balloon, i see no issue here

{quoted}

i have noticed that even in late game most of his damage comes from ability power and not mana.

how well does he need to scale to satisfy you then?

he scales more off of ap now than he does mana. the only part of his new kit that revolves around mana is his passive which gives me % increased mana based on total ap. the damage he gains from mana is pretty minimal late game though compared to ap

guys im talking about full build ryze scaling for 50 damage from his mana on his q,and 250 from his ap,this is ridiculous he is just another burst mage at this point

Ironically, I brought this up once. Specifically with the suggesting of lowering his AP Scaling a bit and retool it into his Mana Scaling. The most coherent reply I received was "Nah. That only encourages him further to build Frozen Heart."

Uniqueness is not a greater concern than balance is. Your whiney complaint is a backburner non issue

I don't know about this, I'm pretty sure he scales off HARD both.

With the last rework they watered down what makes Ryze unique. I get that Ryze was instant ban level in LCS before the rework, but at least he was unique and had to be built a certin way and, honestly it is your opponets fault if they cant stop ryze, and win the game before he gets his items and becomes a monster. IMo Ryze should get more Mana scaling and Ryze should be a ticking time bomb in the game.

i dont know how the new ryze is but i know the old ryze was purely a mana scaling champ that is what made him unique as far as mages or other champs and why its always been a issue is balancing him correctly.
