The only thing thats really going to be different in the new ryze is that he cant snare you a million times, hes still got all the same balance issues in that hes all numbers and will either be broken or underpowered at all times.
they need to take out scaling with mana...
i f you cant see that the powerspike from his ult is gone then you have problems
i think the thing is they're making him choose between some of the stuff he does right now and making it so that every combo other than the optimal 3 stack -> R W Q E Q W Q isnt a huge loss. there's a choice between a longer root duration + movespeed + durability or something similar to the long burst combo he has right now.
It'll probably be easier to balance now just because his reset only applies to overload.
As an old ryze main the new new one is more reminiscent of the old. Cdr and spamming combo. Instead of procing a dang sheild before you do anything. You can harass or wave clear or kite better Imo with new new rework and cooler combos. But remember the mana thingy only scales with bonus mana not just max. It might change. But so far seems cool.
