Ryze just like swain and vlad
ranged champion made for the purpose of beating melee champion
his ultimate doesn't have any damage so riot buff all of his ability
his Q does 80% more damage with runes
his Q has 6 second cooldown and reduced by his other spells
his Q gives him movement speed.
his Q shield him from both physical and magical damage while kass only shield magic damage and barely anything with a 9 second cooldown compared to his 6 second cooldown.
his shield is stronger than kassadin and spammable + scale mana and higher AP ratio with the same amount of shield as kassadin
he has hard CC a snare that snare you for 2 second
his E scale ap and mana and bounce like brand ultimate massive combo when he 1v1 and his passive increase his mana by 5% for all the AP he has.
and if it's not all : HE'S FREAKING RANGED!!!
no wonder this game is dying always the same champs getting buffed the f out.
y'all will never change,
