Since he has been in many League trailers, advertisement aswell as RP Cards?
Makes sense for him getting more attention than other champions. Teemo can't be the mascot since this champion gets nerfed everytime he becomes popular, even tho he is basically the 1st champion anyone would pick up if they play league for the 1st time.
Dokkaebi2 votesThey have no idea how to handle Ryze. In the latest VGU they just created even more problems for his kit than he already had.
OurLestrade2 votesHe sort of got replaced by Yasuo, Jinx, and more anime esque sorts with time. Easier to sell to teens that way.
SomethingAncient1 votesI don't think that's the reason. He used to be a "mascot" (though I don't think LoL has ever had a true mascot)... but it's been Ahri for the longest time now. Ever since she became the spotlight, he's been relegated to being forgotten until the point where he needs a rework. Champs they advertise they try to keep stable, so I'd say a lot of reworks is a sign that Ryze has been more forgotten.
4 Step Cadence1 votesHe's more of a poster boy than a mascot. When I think of a League mascot, I see a Poro.
