Am I the only one that misses old ryze?

If you mean from S1 then yeah.

He would snare you, then step closer to you and use his E. E would bounce between you and him 5x and you would be instakilled.

Which one? Seems like every other rework is Ryze, I've lost track.

I miss his "Take this scroll and stick it!.. someplace safe." I hate how all these new champions are trying so hard to be politically correct, like Taliya and her "I'm not afraid of you!" taunt.
