Ryze

Mage

Widely considered one of the most adept sorcerers on Runeterra, Ryze is an ancient, hard-bitten archmage with an impossibly heavy burden to bear.

Strengths

  • Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.
  • Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.
  • Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.

Abilities

  • Passive · Arcane Mastery — Ryze's spells deal extra damage based on his Bonus Mana, and he gains a percentage increase to his maximum Mana based on his Ability Power.
  • Q · Overload — Passively, Ryze's other basic abilities reset the cooldown of Overload and charge a rune. When Ryze casts Overload with 2 runes charged, he gains a brief burst of Move Speed. On cast, Ryze throws a charge of pure energy in a line, dealing damage to the first enemy struck. If the target has Flux on it, Overload deals extra damage and bounces to nearby enemies with Flux.
  • W · Rune Prison — Ryze traps a target in a cage of runes, damaging them and slowing their movement. If the target has Flux on it, they are instead rooted.
  • E · Spell Flux — Ryze releases an orb of pure magical power that damages an enemy and debuffs all nearby enemies. Ryze's spells have additional effects against the debuffed enemy.
  • Ultimate · Realm Warp — Passively, Overload deals even more damage against targets with Flux. On cast, Ryze creates a portal to a nearby location. After a few seconds, allies standing near the portal are teleported to the target location.

Team Composition

A suggested 5-lane lineup built around Ryze, based on hero partnerships and role synergy — not win rate.

Proposed Balance Patch

Ryze's proposed change from the full roster patch.

Buff
46.9% 49.1% (+2.20)

Overload's mana cost punishes his combo too heavily in the early game. Overload mana cost −15 at rank 1.
