Champion Update: Ryze, the Rune Mage

For a millennium, the archmage Ryze scoured the world, seeking out ancient runes and storing their power in his arcane scroll. Though Ryze cares deeply for his fellow men, he must forever remain apart from them—this often causes him to seem curt and temperamental to those he protects. The world may have forgotten the horrors unleashed by runic power, but Ryze remains vigilant.

Behold the Ryze VGU!

Hi there, (over 750 games with ryze ) This is all I need to know : +Why all these changes, when Ryze's problem was ALWAYS keyboard key W ? +This year ryze's passive rework (capped for 5 spells), why couldn't be nerfed the way that people would be happy ? // Our suggestion was to have something like rek'sai W (Rek'Sai bursts out of the ground, dealing physical damage to surrounding enemies and Airborne icon knocking them up for up to 1 second, based on their proximity to her upon emerging. Enemies cannot be affected again by Unburrow for a few seconds.) This would force ryze players to use abilities wisely = (1 use of root and %pene, then ryze would just combo enemies without special effect)? //We were suggesting this on PBE, but we got kinda rekt. This would make ryze "balanced" and with his passive... It's too late anyway +Can we get any " high skill cap " champions ? //Actually there are no champions that are hard to play - ehm just overnerfed


This is not aimed in offense: As active player I have to say one something... Our EUNE server losses It's regular player base. There are main reasons of players that decided to end: +Flaming (Kinda fixed, well done) +Trolling/AFK(Fixed) +Game's balance is based on professional players. (It's truth, regular players have too low value to change anything. Same with us 50 people on PBE wanting to suggest normal sollutions for ryze. | 50people on PBE is something crazy you can't even imagine) +REWORKS(Over-nerfs): Ryze, Veigar, Nidalee(spear),Master Yi(Tho It was crazy), Aatrox, singed, Kassadin these changes made most of my old friends change game


Suggestion: +We are members of your community that keep your game alive, show respect and let us vote/submit possible changes (We even support you by spending money for your "skins", It's not like we need them... though we want them :D but mostly we want to support your work) +Don't rework champions drastically +We need more items, there can't be that low number of builds...(we kinda missing QSS for mages)

Love you all

sigh Might as well just rename Zombie Ryze to "Green Ryze" as there is nothing remotely zombie-like about him.

Can't wait for his rework next year!

before you ask, the model for Human Ryze is the old one, he should look like this in-game: https://twitter.com/Ququroon/status/747856234275999744/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

I know they said hes the next one, but dam, that was faster than I ever anticipated.

I feel like his model and spell effects aside from his ult are a little underwhelming

I really like this! I've always hated ryze but this makes him look really interesting and fun to play. That ult is awesome. Also why did you have to make human ryze his best skin ;-; we can't buy it

Arkken6/28/2016, 10:09:17 PM4 votes

I just feel like this ult doesn't gel well. Ryze has always been a combo mage. This ult doesn't really fit with him. You have 3 damage abilities that works together and then you have this ult. Like what was the design team thinking?

Weathered6/28/2016, 11:55:44 PM3 votes

If you didn't make him say "Lets go, lets go!" when he ults this rework is a fail.

Solidair36/28/2016, 6:42:44 PM2 votes

so where does this rework succeed where the last did not? Are we sure this won't get out of hand?

Valor Air Force6/28/2016, 7:49:11 PM2 votes

Why didn't you change his W ? This skill is the symbol of the lack of counterplay and it feels old designed.

That's... a really odd ult.

Also, I was off by two patches. That was faster than expected.

Hige6/28/2016, 11:29:44 PM2 votes

I like the whole thing but... he does look a bit weird, can't pinpoint on what end though.

Oh his running animation :S

What is with most of your new reworks/champions having utility ults over damage ults? I like the change but I was wondering why the change occurred.

Rico Nasty6/28/2016, 10:36:03 PM2 votes

That ult looks problematic af
