New Ryze optimal build
As we all know Ryze is getting a small rework... he now scales less with mana, more with AP, has less HP, and his ult gives him free CDR.
After hours of thinking I finally came out with the best possible build for him.

MANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
...so instead of getting 
like everyone says to, I can get 
(like I always do) to cap my CDR instead? SWEET!
New favorite build: 
/
. Tons of mana, tons of damage, high durability, max CDR, and enough penetration to make Taric jealous.
Possibly 
to counter kiting
movespeed ryze
Seraph's, GA or Zz'rot's for resistances, 3 RoA.
Sounds about right.
um, was it ever any different?
Mana Bonus max +1950 (around +55-60 AP) AP Bonus (not counting Insight): +60+60(+20)+100 max +240 Health Bonus max +1650
If enemy AD use 
or or 
although maybe gamble on can be fine
if enemy AP use or 
or 
or 
for safe use or 
But the real question is, will be still be able to be a ryze or blue and qwer?

With the 9 0 21 to start with 10% cd and don't need any item of cd.
This build has a lot of catch potential. Some movement speed on lichbane and slow on rylais.
}
Bruiser sustain ryze with spellvamp quints
If your going 21/9 and and not getting archangel staff
You could go with... good if enemy stacking mr
well im a noob just made a 6 item buildwithout boots eeeww so replace abysal/sv and randuins with zzrot/ga
With the passive CDR it just needs to be something like:
or
Or full Mage of you're playing him mid.
This is basically just my Cassiopeia Top build (with 6% Spellvamp from Quints).
He always scaled decently with AP. Granted, his numbers have moved around a bit since I did, but I once crunched the numbers for his damage per gold investment in AP and Mana to a target standing immediately next to him (so his E hit them 3 times). The numbers actually came out exactly the same, and AP's damage clearly outshined Mana during a full 5 man teamfight. Mana was just more useful in dueling, poking, and sustained fights. It was always a horse apiece, but going all ROA was always a decent idea for him.

Is this supposed to be a different build for him? Because I build 5 ROA's (time permitting) when I play him anyway (in ARAM.)
Ludens seems 100% required on this guy.
its not point and click anymore brah
Ult is up like every 10 seconds at level 18 if you spam and abuse passive. Pretty sure new Ryze is broken late game.
I'm pretty sure that's already the optimal build path.
Basically same as 
.
Maybe throw in a for splitpushing/troll potential.
