With Ryze's W & E mana ratio removed in the next patch

BeatzBoyFTW··2 votes·967 views

Do I still build mana on him? I think he will just become another plain AP mage all over again, and what's better, there's a chance Ryze will now be pushed to mid instead of top since Frozen Heart may not be so useful in conjunction to his W & E nerf. I dunno, I mean this is just imo.

HE is super mana hungry so probably yes. Though that's still depends on whether or not they increase his AP ratio on those abilities.

Well, at least they'll have a reason to remove that redundant bit in his passive tooltip.

You mean, the bit that was just added on the PBE, how his abilities scale with mana? When the removed mana ratios were reverted?

I didn't see that they'd reverted the change. It doesn't mean that his passive stating that his abilities scale on mana isn't still redundant.

Redundant for most purposes, true.

Maybe it is a change for clarity, for new players to see what the extra colour in their spells is about?

Or Riot could make a simple legend for tooltips. Red = HP scaling, Orange = AD scaling, Yellow = Armor scaling, Green = AP scaling, Blue = Mana scaling, Purple = MR scaling...and then I forget if there's another or not. But, yeah, that should just be some easily accessible information instead of putting a redundant tooltip marker.

Could clean up a lot of tooltips if they simply put something like that in plain sight.

Certainly not against that.

I'm sad that they also (already) removed Soraka's Mana ratio on her E (Previously Infuse, now Equinox). While she doesn't really need bonus mana once she has Chalice, stacking Seraph's Embrace item 3040 Frozen Heart item 3110 and Rod of Ages item 3027 isn't a fun tank build that gives you lots of damage on your silence anymore. Not that it was a good build, but OP Infuse hits were fun.

I'm talking about Ryze, not Soraka.

Kind of why I said "they also". This means they is the subject of also, not I, which in turn means I'm not talking about the same thing.

When you say "they", you're referring to Riot, then you mention Soraka, which implies you're moving the subject from Ryze to Soraka. An evidence would be you saying "lots of damage on your silence anymore". So technically, get out of my thread. -__-

:( What if I said "All Hail Mana Stacking Ryze", can I stay?

Oh I forgot to add something to my original post. Are there any other champs who scale off mana? Ryze (not for long) and Soraka (not anymore) were the only ones I knew. I think this was my intention of the whole post, and I forgot it XD

You can have a cup of honey tea and stay if you say so :)

And Kassadin's ult too. Depends if Riot really favors more of nerfing him more.

They aren't being removed, the changes were reverted.

The entire patch was temporarily reverted. All those changes are likely going to return.

I absolutely HATE playing against ryze top lane. I think his kit is fundamentally unhealthy in a number of ways, and I think he's a bit overtuned at the moment. But even I think this is overkill. If they actually end up removing the mana scaling on two of his abilities, he's going to be unplayable.

That being said, I seriously doubt Riot will go through with it. The change was already reverted on the PBE.

Why Riot reverted it back? Just asking. Cause if they actually did remove the mana scaling on both W & E, I think most Ryzee would think building Frozen Heart on him is kinda useless now, hence it may make him a viable mid champ again instead of top.
