RIP Ryze and why this shows us something about Riven

I will miss you shield :( Also, "When Ryze is played optimally, he covers his weaknesses incredibly well. At the same time, he benefits highly from a coordinated team. Pro play relishes champions with these characteristics, which is why he's been such a strong pick in the space. We're chipping away at these strengths to quell his presence there, but at the same time, helping out those who are looking to pick him up and aren't as precise in their combos." -Patch 9.12

"Riven is only good when the player knows her combos thats why shes not overtuned and should not be nerfed!" -Every Riven player

Also before you say that ryze got compensation buffs too, its not much. Any good ryze player can spread his e properly so the always spread buff doesnt do a ton, it just seems like riot doesnt know how to fix cancer kits. I feel like there was a better way about going about the ryze rework, i dont know how but im not the one getting payed to fix the game i just play it.

Riven's shield doesn't cover her weakness and has very little to do with skill the dash is what is important in her combos. Like why are you comparing things that are completely different.

One major difference is the fact Riven only saw a spike in performance thanks to conqueror becoming broken on champs who could stack it with abilities. Hecarim also saw nerfs thanks to that.

Meanwhile, Ryze can do so without a damage rune. He brings Phase Rush and can see performance at that level along with the best team-wide ultimate in the game.

i find it funny your complaining about basically nothing. ryze loses his shield yet gets massively increased dps,damage and aoe clear. becoming brain dead and returning to one of his toxic previous iterations.(the 1 shot ryze iteration) yet you still think a shield matters? guess what ryze didn't even originally have a shield. he did have innate tankiness through itemization but if history has shown us anything is ryze doesn't need tankiness to function. infact some of ryzes strongest iterations were rather squishy.

bro these guys dont understand what old ryze was... the perfect chmp .the perfect rework (the before one) the perfect mechanism (diffrent combos)

in these years ryze was best chmpion i played .. maybe some ppl say u are dumbass . ryze didnt need any changes casue it is as much as hard that noobs cant learn it fast and has lost of problems like mana .. u wanted to nerf its dmage then do .. but what riot did to this new ryze is not nerf .. its a new chmpion that must call useless blue guy

what riot did is created a new chmp that noobs and r%%%%% can play it without learning combos...
