Hey Riot why does Ryze keep going through being trash and broken

It just seems no matter what Ryze is never truly considered balanced. Its either he is considered bottom tier or he's broken beyond belief. It just seems like a never ending cycle with him. Why is Ryze like that and why does this seem to keep happening over and over again?

Prior to the rework, his DPS was always on. Initiating powerful spell slinging combos that scaled both with mana and AP. He also was more Bruiser before since Frozen heart was a core item.

The new Passive was designed to give him more recognizable power spikes as his DPS becomes on and off again. But the on case was just too abusive. I would also point out that the latest AP item changes buffed him. So they at the moment had to have compensating nerfs.

The other reason he's abusive is because he's picked top lane. He has almost no need for blue buff. (allowing him to top lane) Which means he can poke with his ranged spells, while using his Rune prison to peel off any dives onto him.

It's a flaw in his design paradigm. Ideally, he's a late-game hypercarry with an abusable early game to make up for it. In reality, his kit makes that impossible. His kit is fantastic at zoning out melees, giving him a strong early game on top of a strong late. If you try to take away his strong early, it means you've pretty much gutted his abilities to the point of uselessness. If you try to take away his strong late... you've probably also gutted his abilities to the point of uselessness, because his abilities are so spammy. As a mage, his role is to blow people up. If he can't do that, he can't do his job, and thus isn't played. But his kit means that when he can do his job, he's ridiculously efficient at it, while also being fairly tanky (prior to the rework, because of his build, but now more because of the shield his passive grants). A root every couple seconds isn't exactly the paragon of good design.
