Opinion On Ryze

Hello everyone.

This is my first topic here and I wanted to shared with you my opinion on the new Ryze since I don't see many threads about it.

So far I've been playing Ryze a lot in the diamond ranking and I have experimented the Tank and Ap items. So here's the Cons and Pros imo.

PS : english isn't my native language.

Pros :

• He is blue
• thematically he's still the mana dood.
• Animation and visually are really good
• Still the Weak early and Strong late game
• Extremely easier to play
• More combos with E and Q

Cons :

• Ultimate has a small Range and huge delay before it teleport )
• Snare is quite weak and has a really long cooldown.
• Now it's E Q only basically. Less fun
• Squishy early and late game even with tanky items.
• I don't feel anymore the Steroid mage aspect he had.
• Underpower at the moment. Even Urgot would be a better pick than Ryze.

Conclusion :

As a Ryze main I feel the New Ryze is visually better than he was before and a lot more balanced but I also think the current gameplay he has is quite bad like I think any other ultimate would have make it more fun to play because imo it's a boring ult . I don't see myself keep playing that champion in the future unless there's maybe some changes made in the future patches.

TL DR : gameplay not cool but visually awesome

What about you guys what you think of Ryze so far ?
