The Death of Ryze

So we can all acknowledge that Ryze was pretty strong at a couple points after his rework. And Riot rightfully nerfed him to a decent state. The Big nerfs came in patch 7.4 with the e bonus damage being reduced to 80% from 100%. Then in 7.5 a follow up patch saw a nerf to the e cool down and the w root duration. Now I totally understand the 7.5 patch as it needed to reduce his utility what I don't get was the straight up 20% damage reduction on Ryze's primary damaging ability. Ryze currently sits at a 40% winrate. Which is the lowest out of all viable midlaners.

I don't see the problem with letting a level 13 (The level in which you reach max e and q rank) Ryze who has made it to the midgame without feeding earlier be able to one rotation people. I mean there are plenty of champs that can do the same thing all throughout the game. Currently Ryze just goes though a rotation of spells leaving an enemy at around 300 health and then ends up dying because that carry has lifesteal or outdamaged them. And if you're gonna say that being able to one rotation someone without letting them move is OP. Lets take a look at some other popular mages. Ahri can currently do so without having to hit a single ability some cases she needs a w and 2 ult charges with a lichbane auto attack, Syndra can still one shot a carry with the press of a button. Taliyah can easily obliterate multiple carries with a well timed e w combo. Orianna can do it with ease as well.

Overall for a champ that sacrifices an ultimate and his e is just set up in order to make the choice between damage and utility in his other two spells he should be able to do just that. I understand it was for pros who were abusing the champ. But I feel as if these nerfs were obnoxious. I wanted to post this earlier because I though the nerfs would be too much but decided to wait. Now 4 patches later the guy is in the gutter and hasn't seen pro play in a while. I really like the mage and how mastery his combos and understanding when each is more effective feels so rewarding. But he does feel weak unless he is snowballed really hard in lane which is also hard as typically you just farm. Anyway thanks for reading a feel free to post below.
