So With the some commotion about ryze being uber weak. I decided to do quite a bit of theory crafting to give him a buff. Something small that would nudge up his win rate by 5%.

So I think its key when buffing a champion to realize their core philosphy. For someone like lb, its high mobility and burst... but complete glass. Ryze's core philoshophy has been and has always been, a beefy ap bruiser. In fact when you think of ap bruiser he used to be the king of it. He is meant to be the guy who does a hefty amount of ap(not huge but hefty) damage, and be tanky.

I think it goes without saying that Ryze still fits into the tank power of a bruiser. Its just that he no longer has the damage of a bruiser, but instead that of a support. Now I actually enjoy the new changes to Ryze, I just feel they need a bit of tweaking to make them viable. So Here's my suggest.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< CHANGES >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Overload - Now has no cast time.(just like in his trailer, ryze is now a mobile mage). you can use it while moving.

Rune Prison - No change here. It very well balanced.

Spell Flux - Now has no cast time. (not sure if it truly does, but it very much feels like it has a 0.25s cast time). If it truly has no cast time then no change.

Overload - Here comes the big change. This change is largely based off from olafs ult changes.

Passive- No change. Active - No longer gives 80 bonus flat movement speed. Instead it grants 100% movement speed for 1 second. In addition spell vamp is reduced from 15-20-25% to 5-10-15%. NEW Now grants 20-30-40 bonus flat ap and 200/400/600 flat mana. .

What do these Changes do end game. They allow ryze to be a much more mobile champion with the ability to move and cast.

The changes directly changed to ryze's ultimate give him a stronger lane game, in return to having less spell vamp survival. The huge nerf to his sustained flat movement speed is because it would be too strong with the amount of mobility he would get from his new q and e changes. But with the new dash he can still sprint for the back line in attempt to cause mayhem.

TL:DR Sacrifice Ult sustained mobility and some tank utilities, in return for slightly stronger overall damage with his new ult and new mobility.

Like the Q and E changes, but hate the R change. I would love for Ryze to be able to move while dealing damage instead of having to turn onto a turret once his arcane mastery is up. In any case I think Ryze's damage is in a pretty good spot, I think he just needs some QoL/utility buffs.
