Kog'Maw gets reverted, LB gets reverted, but Ryze has to go through different iterations

Why? Just revert Ryze back to S5 Ryze and work around the issues with that Ryze. Just because ONE player played him well and made laning "overbearing" or whatever doesn't mean Ryze needs a complete rework. Zed recently got buffed, Yasuo never gets a solid nerf, but Ryze deserves nerf after nerf due to runes or fucking pro-play. I'm sick and tired of Riot making decisions for Ryze (it seems Ryze and other champion specific) SOLELY on pro-play. The approach should be balance everything around pro-play or nothing around pro-play.

Dude thats tradition. You gotta rework Ryze every year.

Wasn't Ryze still bullshit even then?

LB was reverted because she became almost a joke, and completely unsatisfying to play. Kog was reverted because 5.0 attack speed was insane.

Ryze has been reworked time and time again because Riot still hasn't figured out that a point and click root on a champion that can out-run 95% of the roster and does burst damage probably isn't healthy.

You're comparing apples, oranges, and fucking bricks.

but his root, in his current state, isn't even the PROBLEM

It wasn’t a mini rework it was a vgu. You probably aren’t a developer but a lot of time, money, resources is put into those vgu’s. Imagine spending months on making something and then being told nah undo it. Plus new ryze is less braindead and much more fun.
