Mystery Champs made me learn a very important lesson!

So after I received my mystery champ (Diana) I decided to take her out for a spin after practicing in custom

I usually play either top or adc So going mid was something kinda new to me

I faced a Ryze Being my first time with Diana I played passively and kept a safe distance whenever possible But once level 3 came he trapped me and killed me before I could say WTF!

I worried that he would come back to lane with the damages but no, he only got mana items "Well he can stay in lane longer but I have more damage now" I assumed

He was pushed with a 1 level advantage And so my Lee came to gank He jumped, I jumped, we used everything but with his ulti on he stayed alive long enough to kill Lee and leave me by about 30 hp before we killed him Note this is without any damage items, just mana

I started thinking this shit was op as balls!! For the rest of the game we avoided Ryze like a plague and still the only thing he built was mana until he started a Rod of Ages When it came time to teamfights the only way we could win was if our Cho silenced him, else he alone would murder all of us

More certain was I that Ryze was op as all hell right now

After the game I decided I was gonna make a post about how op he was and that he needed a nerf

But before I could I found a post about people demanding Kalista nerfs As I read I understood the one complaining must have never played AS Kalista because his arguments showed a lack of knowledge about her weaknesses

He claimed she was a monster early game I am no Kalista main but I do play her from time to time And in no way would I qualify her early as anything but trash when compared to other ADCs

And that got me thinking... Is Ryze really op or were we just bad against him? So I decided instead of bashing and demanding nerfs like an idiot I am going to do my research!

I am going to pick up Ryze for the next couple of games and see how powerful he really is or how easy/hard he is to play BEFORE raging about him

I will try to learn his weaknesses and where he shines Both so I can make a good argument if he is op and to have a better chance against him in the future ^^

I would advice most people who cry OP to do the same, at the very least so you can make a decent argument when you do complain

PS: Thanks Rito for Diana, never knew I could have so much fun with an AP champ ^^
