Zombie Ryze is awful

What were you thinking with the new zombie ryze skin? It doesn't maintain anything that made the original good. He doesn't look like a zombie any more, just a random green ryze. All of the tattered effects are now gone. I regret having spent RP on it.

I wish I could get a refund on it. That's how bad it is.

I seriously hope this skin is taken back to be re-designed just like the new SKT skins that didnt meet Riot's standards. The skins team has put out some absolutely amazing skins, this one on the other hand feels half finished. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Since i don't play ryze I wasn't much aware of it so I took a look and holy crap... it's terrible

the new one is basically a recolor of classic ryze and has absolutely nothing to do with being a zombie, at all.

They should give it more rotting flesh like before and a chase animation like Brand has.

They can just rename it, "Soulstealer Ryze", basically same

i dont think its that bad but it could stand to look more zombie-ish

Yeah, when the Fiora VU came up, I wanted a refund on a lot of the skins too. No dice, which is fucking bullshit.

Yeah it could look a bit more rotten(though I could imagine that the bone and brain had to go because of rating-stuff)

Though at least the skin has recolored spell effects and i like it that he now carries a tombstone on his back.

It probably could be a bit more zombish; But I think it still looks more badass then all his other skins

He'll get another rework in a few months, maybe they can fix it then.

Well the Chinese ruin many things, this included.

That's a zombie? Just looks like ryze was held in bleach for a few days so hes pale. How is that a zombie, he is literally just a pale blue with no rotting skin. How does chains symbolize he is a zombie? He could be a crazed maniac for all we know. If he wasn't named zombie ryze what would this skin even be called. Chances are any name is better than zombie because he certainly isn't one.

Well it was always the least "zombie" compared to every other zombie skin.

i loved the old skin, the new one looks like shit, and if you don't like it don't bye it.... but me i loved it I am not happy with the new one at all and would just like to swap it for a different skin. they keep deleting my posts about it and this is where the support sent me to take care of my issue

if u think zombie ryze is bad look at professor ryze

the skin would be fine with just another VO. I don't mind the censure stuff if in return he fit more with the other zombie themed skin, the fact the VO is the same just don't give the "zombie" feeling with the new model

They should rename this skin: Shadow isles Ryze...

Cosnirak7/14/2016, 8:44:03 PM1 votes

I got it from hextech crafting so I'm not exactly sad about no refund but... yeah, it doesn't feel like a zombie at all. I really hope he can actually get some changes to be more zombie like. Especially as it is my only Ryze skin and I'm loving his update gameplay wise.

Never really felt that Zombie to me since both Brand and Nunu always had Zombie Voice-overs, where as Ryze just has Ryze...
