Ryze's ult with zhonyias

Why did they change the interaction so that it cancels his ult? Kennen does the same thing with his ult and his ult actually damages.

Because they're not the same thing. Kennen functions normally. Ryze's ult is an ability where he channels to teleport and the Zhonya's interaction was something they added in thinking it was pretty neat. But because of the Stopwatch (and Ryze being broken) this added interaction was too strong it was removed for making Ryze too unpunishable.

Kinda sounds like a way ryze could troll. Him and two other peeps on ult but at last second he zhonyas and leaves the two others people there to die.

Because it was a get out of jail free card for Ryze. R>Zhonya's for a free escape.

Tbh though it needs to be removed on all champions like that. Kennen, Fiddle, tbh even Morgana.

Negative on the Morg and fiddle. Both can be countered if zhonyas goes off- fiddle via hard cc and morg by walking away. Kennen not sure about, as his stun procs super well in zhonyas

I mean. Ekko has a get out of jail free card just tossed into his kit. Why not the immobile caster?

Because Ekko doesn't do as much sustained damage, isn't as tanky, doesn't have point and click hard CC, doesn't have top tier waveclear, the inherent safety of range, and doesn't break the LCS.

Um. Ekko litteraly has all of those thing and then some? Oh. Except point and click cc. He has regular cc that gives him a monsterois shield.
