He leaves a tribe for death while removing their only way to defend themselves.I know i understand that He has a job to do but at least stay with them till they find a decent place to live he is a magus of border line divine power yet he cant simply help them?Not saying the story is bad in fact i fucking love it good job riot he feels like a fleshed out character.He kinda reminds me of kiritsugu emiya he also believes that sacrificing the few to save the whole was the best though that path didnt really...oh well im not going to say much in case people wanted to be surprised in fate zero the thing is he was willing to give up everything to save the world http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/5/55/Fate_Zero_-_24_-_Large_422.png/revision/latest?cb=20120813045029

The thing is that time is precious.

It would take weeks and likely a lot of battles against a whole horde of trolls to protect the tribe until they find some place safe.

Ryze isn't willing to spent so much time to save so few because if he fails to get a rune in time only once,it might cause the destruction of the whole world.

this whole "for the greater good" is good a logical dont get me wrong but its just so cruel its bound to lead you down a path where you become hated no mater what you do......then again its a good thing ryz got emotionally tough enough to handle it since he just killed one of his best friends

It's probably why Ryze has few people he calls friends. He's taken a burden upon himself that not only has the potential to corrupt him to the core, but makes him a social pariah.

Keeping on focus to his task is probably how he retains his humanity.

how is it cruel to chose the world over 92? its a catch 22.

because he should try to help them since it is his fault for basically leaving a whole group to die.He may be doing his job but the reason he did his job in the first place was to help people yet in the very end he still fails to do what he set out to do which was to save people from having to die.His method is cruel as it hurts people even though its intended to save people he purposely chose the path where people die just for his mission.

his mission isnt to stop people from dying. its to stop the world from being destroyed by the runes. so if he spends weeks helping that tribe out, there could be another calamity elsewhere that kills thousands, a tragedy that would've been prevented had he moved on right away.

so again someone is gonna die. its a catch 22. either the tribe dies or thousands elsewhere will die from bad timing.

Honestly, it depends on the scope.

Say that you're trying to beat up a punch of thugs doing some kind of drug operation. As a few stragglers attempt to get away, you notice a child in danger about to die from whatever kind of imminent peril awaits. In that situation, if you can, save the child. Why? Because her life is in immediate danger, and you have the ability to get the thugs later.

But right now, it's that village, or an entire country. And then, the scale of the damage is way greater. If the Rune was something that is just a leveler of cities, he probably would try to help the village. But no. It's on a continental scale. He can't afford to allow them to be used.

Couldn't they just pile on his new ult?

You could argue time. You could argue urgency. But I believe that Ryze, wants to erase all traces of the World Runes effects on Runeterra. The only reason the tribe remained alive is because they have been sheltered by the rune. The ice trolls are as much of this world as the tribes people are, ahem look at trundle. Trundle And im sure Ryze has been alive long enough to accept the mortality of anyone and everything. The quote at the beginning of the chapter hints at this... "Take care with this world. What is made can be unmade." A tribe surviving against ridiculous odds at the fringes of freljord? People should have moved years ago. Ryze did ask them too.
