I beg to those I have a game with, please use my Realm Warp
I main Ryze. I have mained Ryze since he threw out red and purple balls and lightning bolts. I am very experienced with this champion.
It has been over a month since his VGU. I have not seen a single other Ryze in ranked since. The only Ryze's my team mates have seen are the week from his rework. Those Ryze's do not know how to play Ryze at all. They troll with terrible ultimates. So my allies think I might be a troll too. They see Ryze's low winrate and have low expectations of me.
I pull off great ultimates, but my team mates distrust me. They see the portal, and get off. Even if I'm teleporting them to safety, or landing a fantastic engage. Some games they follow, and we win the fight. Other times, they do not, and I go in alone. Then I die.
It seems nearly everybody just wants to do their own thing. They do not want to work with me at all. I type "hi" in the chat. Some games not a single person responds. I thought team games required good communication to succeed.
If this re-re-rework has taught me anything, I sure appreciate my support now! Supports follow me more than any other role. Land a Thresh on their team, thresh uses his box and flays their entire team. Or land a Janna into the dragon pit, she ults everybody away and I steal it. While supports do not deal much damage, they win the game with their awesome utility. Thank you supports who have followed.
Note: You can see where the ultimate is going; there are blue particles flowing in the direction of destination, also an omw arrow on minimap. So if I ult on top of their team, and you are adc, do not go in. If you are Amumu or Kennen, please do.
tl;dr communication and map awareness are important. And appreciate your supports.
