Anyone else think that's uh... Retarded? He can legit spam Q at thin air before a fight and start facerolling his keyboard from the get-go. There's no setup or timing involved, just spam shit at THIN AIR. GOD, at least have that skillless braindead fucktard of a champion have to HIT something before getting a stack.
DrCyanide3 votesI think being able to spam spells into thin air to charge a passive is one of the oldest mechanics in the game:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Nanuk Pihoqahiak2 votesA lot of champions have to pre-spam abilities before entering combat. Why does Ryze have to be an exception?

Because he is broken as fuck.
Nanuk Pihoqahiak2 votesCompelling argument. Care to provide something mathematically sound and reasoning as to why he's overpowered?

Broken isn't overpowered.
That chain snare shouldn't have left the PBE, this is why he is impossible to balance, him not being able to stack his Q out of thin air would be a nice start to balance this 0 mechanical requierement ball of stats bullshit.
YZaCmX2XRL1 votesAnd without his stacks you can kill him pretty easily. Also, if he's so powerful and broken, why isn't he played every match? He's hardly played. You must have had one or two bad games against one. Just move on to the next game and ban him if you hate him so much.

Wow, now replace the name "ryze" with "talon", "rengar", and "fizz" and suddenly your "oh so reasonable argument" applies to them too. Hint hint, it means your argument sucks dick. And Mordekaiser is also never played, must be because he's balanced and well designed.

Ryze is beyond broken and toxic to play against. He got a rework earlier this year and they already put him in line for another.
YZaCmX2XRL1 votesA champ isn't toxic, it's the player.
