Any theories regarding why Ryze is so powerfull?

Like this guy showcased great power feats. Is it just his knowledge and experience and raw power that makes him the most powerfull non-demigod/god or is it something more? My personal theory was that a part of the World Runes energy enetered his body as a result of his exposure to them, thus buffing him indirectly, but after discusing with someone about that on another post of mine, I came to the conclusion there aren't enough proofs for that. Is it because he is the only one who uses magic by tapping into it directly (like the Jedi with the Force, it was explained in "From the Ashes" really great story btw highly recomand) or is it something else? Your thoughts and theories?

It’s because he’s been shirtless for so long. The longer you have your shirt off = more power you get

Why do you think Lee Sin is so powerful?

the reason why he is so powerful is cause, according to other players, nearly every other champ got nerfed to hell and back.

Ryze is not demigod/god levels of strong. He is very determined, strong-willed, versatile, and packs an arcane punch. He has more academic knowledge of the arcane than the average mage because of his age. Champions like Xerath and Syndra could swiftly and decisively obliterate him in a head-on conflict. Ryze fought some warriors at a monastery with Sona and someone managed to hit him. Syndra could fight an entire army and no one would touch her.

The Voidborn he "one-shotted" was unique looking and didn't have any visible chitin. It also wasn't necessarily trying to kill him - if the Watchers sent it, it may have probed Ryze for information and then dissipated.

Brand is not confirmed to still possess the World Rune that transformed him, and I find it unlikely that he does.

When Ryze razes a city with a barrage of arcane fire Xerath , or permanently raises a fortress landmass into the sky Syndra , or even when he starts permafloating instead of walking, then I will acknowlege him as demigod tier. Until then, he's great mage with a strong will and a single-minded dedication to his mission, which is admirable.
