Ryze nerfs.

I've been seeing an increase in ryze recently (probly due to his prominence at worlds), and being on the receiving end of a champ i often play (with a 80 percent + winrate in ranked), i'm thinking "this just cant be right". i'm of course talking about the sudden realisation when you're 3/1 and hes 0/1/1, with same cs, and for some reason he's outdueling you on quinn, or some similar duelist champion, whose only function in life is really to be good in those situations. and we're talking early midgame here.

I find that playing vs ryze the only times you actually win are when you can manage to kill him every time he enters lane (... so when playing talon, darius or similar thing, on which you can force him to either not cs at all or die, and on most champs this still requires a good start). this situation to be honest is just plain unfair. We're talking a champ with reliable, high damage output, due to huge damage numbers when scaled, as well as no skillshots involved, huge teamfight presence, hard CC, and also decently tanky. Why is it that this champ gets one of the easiest (and hardest to hinder) paths to total op-ness? take any other champ with the same damage (bar maybe tristana currently), that can provide something like this: if played badly vayne will simply feed forever in any game, akali gets wrecked by anyone with hard CC and a pink ward, azir is hella difficult to position soldiers with for max damage output, and is MUCH easier to kill early/mid game than ryze, etc, etc. Why is it that there is just this one champ, that pretty much cannot be held sufficiently down, unless you're in a environment with junglers great at dives and repeat ganks; see professional gaming. And even then (as the recent Najin-OMG series proved), it's pretty damn difficult. ryze is like a ranged, higher damage nasus, with a less punishable early game.

And this needs a change. remove the spellvamp part from his ult to make him a less capable duelist, lower his ratios, make his e only shred mr once, do something lol. just make it so that not wrecking him 24/7 and going 20/0 isn't a lost lane.

Really people need to complain less about Ryze and play Irelia more. The degree to how hard she wrecks him is pretty extreme as she can completely nullify his existance.

I complain about Irelia too xD she's honestly unfair in 1v1 vs most champs, even if you bully her, and even get kills on her pre-triforce... once she DOES get it you're done for unless you've snowballed ridiculously on her lol. Only thing that keeps her balanced is that she has pretty low teamfight impack compared to many other bruisers.

I must agree. Ryze's early game, despite the fact he needs some items, is also pretty crazy. His base damage on Q at rank 1 is 60(40% AP)(6.5% of max mana), which is pretty crazy. If they can cut his Q range a bit(from 625-600) while cutting the base damage and upping the AP ratio to something like 50%, that would help tone down his early game a bit.

Ryze is ridiculous because he is a great pick in any lane. No other champion can play all three lanes with little to no impact on their performance. I think his snare should be changed to a skill shot for starters. That'll definitely give him a little counterplay
