Imho the new Ryze's rework is very good

Just wanted to share my 2 cents on it: I like it, good job RITO :-p

Maybe his numbers need to be tweaked, but in my opinion this is an overall success: they managed to bring back his classic combos with their original feel, while also fixing what afaik were his largest problems (the original had perma root and targeted AoE damage - once he got close, there was nothing anyone could do except trying to kill that tank as fast as possible).

Now the root isn't pemanent anymore (its CD no longer refreshes) and a tank can actually help his team by just standing between the squishies and Ryze.

Also, I think that his new ultimate is pretty cool; it's also powerful (it's the engage this low-range no-mobility mage sorely needed) and counterable (you need vision to properly use it - trust me, you won't like it when your whole team gets teleported on the enemy ).

So... just my 2 cents.
