A new Ryze ult, the voidstaff concept

We all can agrea that Ryze is a champion that has an ult with an intressting concept. However personally it doesn't feel like it fits the champion add all. A lot of power has been focussed arround the ult. Making the rest of his kit kinda average. I would like to suggest a solution for this. It's very simple: Replace his ult with something else and give his current ult to someone that actually deserves it.

That's where Cassiopeia comes into play. In my opinion she was the first design that actually showed how a hyper carry mage rework should be done. The build-in boots concept was very unique and allowed her to scale much harder than other champion. I would like to suggest something similar for Ryze :

#R - Realm Warp (reworked)

  • Passive: Magic damage ignores 23% / 29% / 35% of the target's magic resistance (applies before magic penetration). item 3135 is disabled from purchase.
  • Active: Ryze channels for 2 seconds and blinks to the target location.

This means that Ryze no longer has to worry about getting a voidstaff. That's a lot of free gold you can spend more lategame and not to mention room for another item.

Thoughts?

That's an interesting idea, and the "disable a specific item from purchase" is a design space that definitely could be explored more, I think.

That said, I'm not sure Ryze's issue is that he needs more RAW power -- if it was, this would be an easy fix. I think his issue currently that he just has a weird, very-high skillcap kit that is super difficult to balance due to the dramatic highs and lows it can create. But I'll admit I'm not enough of a Ryze expert to really judge.
