Can Ryze please get a buff on his rank 1 ult range

That ult range (1500) is just WAY to low to use it for anything practical early game.

Don't get me wrong, Ryze has really strong damage and that may need to be toned down regardless of his win rate being so low (people dont know how to play him yet) but that ult is utility based and does not serve a decent purpose early game.
