Why does he have a 42% winrate in plat+ but i see him ALL the time when watching streams or sometimes in lcs. Some may say "he is hard to play" lots of champions are like that but none of them are this low. Can someone explain this?

He is very very VERY strong in a team that is build around him, with coordination and Teamplay.

None of this exists in Solo Queue.

So not only is he hard to play, he also needs his team. COmbine these two and you have a Champion that dominates Pro Play, but sucks in solo Queue.

Its kinda the reversed Tryndamere effect (Being super strong against uncoordinated teams, but absolutely useless in games with actual teamplay)

If Ryze is half decent in solo queue, he will completely dominate LCS. On the other hand, If Heimerdinger is any way viable in LCS, he will destroy solo queue.
