Riot, what's your general direction for Ryze?

Oleandervine··5 votes·782 views

So Ryze is next on the update schedule, and he's slated to be a Gangplank level rework with a complete visual update, so I'm guessing maybe a skill and/or passive replacement, but he'll generally run the same as he always has. I just wanted to ask you guys what kind of direction you intended to go with him, what your likes and dislikes are about his current kit, and what needs changing?

+1 I hope we get a directional post too but I doubt we will since it's a full Sion-level update he's getting.

Actually, they said Gangplank. Gangplank got a new model and rigging. Miss Fortune did not, they just put new clothes on an old skeleton.

I understand she got one, but they reused her same model, just cleaned it up and tweaked some aspects like the hair. They specifically said in earlier posts that Ryze would be a Gangplank level update, with a completely new model and rigging.

i didn't read the part on Gangplank, good to know

Miss Fortune did in fact get a small VU, kind of like Sona but with some tweaks and clean up to the model

More so just toned down the clothes as she is pretty much wearing the same outfit but it no longer looks goofy (i.e that overly large hat)

I wish he weaves some sick martial arts-style moves into his spellcasting as he does on the A Twist of Fate cinematic.

That would actually be awesome. I can see that being put in game.
