Disliking Ryze's Current Kit
Yeah, a bunch of you are going to downvote this sh@# anyways. Hey, Board. Ever since Ryze's new abilities has came out, which was Patch Notes v5.8 (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-58-notes#patch-champions), I just hate his mechanics more. The way the current Ryze's act is pretty strong for a AP Burst Mage. Yes, I've seen STK T1 Faker use Ryze's a lot just so he can make Ryze look good, but he has already been good in the meta. I have issues with this current Ryze and it's the "Passive" reworked. Who's fu@#en idea was it to make Ryze's generate 4 charges to get his CD? And that Mana Shield he gains? I think that's a bit strong. Yeah, sure it's based on his mana, but by the end-game he wouldve gotten at least 3k of mana ready to go. That Mana Shield on Ryze's Passive is just insane. It's not necessarily bad, but I would say it's too strong. If Janna shield were to be like that based on her mana, she wouldn't need to die. But onwards to his kit. Now, his W and E skills are similar to the older Ryze's kit. His R just makes me even more frustrating playing him. You press R and then what? You gain spellvamp, do more damage, and get CD. But remember this, the Old Ryze kit was press R and then WEQEQEQWEQEQWEQWEQEWQEWQEQWEQEQWEQWEQEQWEQWEQEWQEWEQEWQE. Simple! The new R doesn't give you enough CD to spam all your abilities fast enough. You also need to CHARGE UP to get the full CD. What kind of bullsh@# is that? Many will argue that the new Ryze is fine and I would agree with them. But having an AP Burst Mage that heavily focus on Mana for his damage, gains a shield based on his % mana, and needs to get 4 charges to get his full CD on all of his skills. THIS GOES FOR
TOO! HE'S SO BAD RIGHT NOW. Aww, man, Riot. Aww, man...
