Skipping Rod of Ages on Ryze

[quote=Madreds]You can go [[tear of the goddess]] and then build like [[glacial shroud]] and [[hextech revolver]] and build from there, ofc RoA is great item and without it you need either [[warmog's armor]] or [[rylai's crystal scepter]][/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]Don't skip roa on ryze, it's too good to pass up. Hell if you're balling and can get the 2nd one before 25-30 go for double RoA. Something interesting i've seen ryze's do is get the spectral wraith item, cuz op.[/quote]

[quote=Joshified]No [[Rod of ages]] on [[Ryze]] is like building ap on [[Vayne]]. Seriously, [[Ryze]] can just stack [[Rod of Ages]] to the point of near invincibility. I understand your point in building it as more of a defensive item, but truth be truth [[Ryze]] gets roflstomped my a huge majority of ap mids early game. He needs to build into something meaning full as soon as possible. Rushing [[Banshee's Veil]] slows [[Ryze]]'s transition to late game and leave him significantly weaker. Basically [[Rod of ages]] = Profit.[/quote]
