Ryze rework idea

I think Riot should keep most of the current ryze, just change his ultimate, some of his passive, and w.

His passive no longer gives him the runes. It just keeps the part with resetting.

His W should be changed to a slow. Every time you level it up, the slow becomes more powerful (but not longer).

His ultimate would be similar to Karma's, giving it to you at level one and buffing your other spells. You could just call it "flux" or whatever, and it would apply flux to one target. Ryze's E should no longer apply flux, only spread it.

A level one (the one you start the game with) ultimate should obviously be a bit weak. Flux -> Q should only deal a little more damage than a normal Q. Flux -> W should increase the duration of the slow by a little. Flux -> E should spread flux.

A level 2 (one point you have put into it manually) ultimate will do things a bit differently. Flux -> Q would deal more damage. Flux -> W would increase the duration of the slow by a bit longer than a level one R. Flux -> E should increase the radius of how far flux spreads.

A level 3 ultimate will really change things up. Flux -> Q will give Ryze the speed boost he used to have in his passive. (You can change the speed to shield, level 4 ult will just give both shield and speed). Flux -> W will make the W a root. Flux -> E will buff the E damage.

Finally, your level 4 ultimate will be an awesome powerspike. Flux -> Q will give you the shield and the speed boost you used to have on passive, and also increase the damage of Q. Flux -> W will make W a root that can spread to other nearby flux affected targets. (Basically you have to R Q W to spread the root.) Flux -> E would increase the duration of flux (to help with the root from flux w).

Also, since this change makes ryze very weak in the early laning phase (because of his lack of a root, shield, AND speed boost), the new R could be applied to allies or yourself to give a shield and speed boost, but the speed would only be for running away. Shield and speed increase with level of R and at max rank R the speed is given even when running at enemies.

What do you guys think? Does this make sense? Do you think newbs would understand this better than a complicated passive? Is it over powered? Do Ryze mains think this would make them happy?

P.S. Cooldown of R is for you to decide. In my opinion I think this R could be like Kassadin R, giving it a somewhat longish CD at lower level but much shorter CD at higher levels.

P.S.S. (Or is it P.P.S.? idk...) New Ryze would hopefully be comparable to the current Kassadin. Weak early, plays safe, but then really gets strong late game.

Give me a thumbs up if you liked this! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
