Please nerf Ryze (I have reasons)
Why dislike without commenting? Read the post. These are legitimate points. I play a lot of Ryze and I'm telling you, Ryze is borderline game-breaking. I remember Ryze last rework, I said to revert the nerfs, yet people still called for more nerfs. He was useless. Even the best Ryze players couldn't carry with him. Now he's MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER.
THE DISLIKES ARE FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT EVEN PLAY RYZE. Because anybody who mains him knows what he's capable of.
I main Ryze since the era where he threw out red balls and bouncey purple balls and lightning bolts.
Out of the three versions of Ryze I have mained, this is by far, the most broken. I will list why I think so.
-
His range on all abilities have been increased from previous version. With e-e-q, he has Lux level harass. -A major weakness of old Ryze was his short range.
-
He now has no power windows, he has no points of weakness. -His q reset is always active now, and he can reset it at least once every 2.25 seconds using just e.
-
No mana issues due to new items, his passive, and more mana-efficient abilities. -Morrellonomicon's new passive, Rod of Ages's new passive, Seraph's new passive.
-
His versatility makes him uncounterable. -Whether it be whittling down whole teams or burst a single enemy in a second, Ryze excels.
There are many other points, such as his Rune-system, his ultimate, which I also believe to be overpowered.
Riot themselves said 50% is not balanced. But when I'm able to get a 74% win rate with a "high-skill" champion for my past 19 ranked games with him, something definitely wrong. I remember a Rioter even suggesting he be toned down after his release, but he got buffed instead, even when I posted before not to buff him. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/gameplay/data-and-champion-balance-part-1
Look at my performance on how I do with the other champions. I am not a skilled player.
Go watch Rush's recent vids. There's a Ryze carrying in all games but one in his last video.
