I find Zhonya's completely useless. While somebody has just used it's active to preserve their lives a couple extra seconds, they are just letting my cooldowns run off, making the kill so much easier.


Burst users often won't have skills to use for 5~10 seconds once they've used their abilitirs.

Strategic use of Zhonya's active can mean life or death.

2 second means 2 seconds my allies can use to rescue me.
They are 2 seconds you can't damage me while my allies damage you.
They are are 2 seconds I can have of perfect safety while my ult, allies' ult, or turret whails on you.

If you don't know how to use it, don't worry, your enemies will take advantage~

Not having RoA on new-Ryze is kinda.. Counter-productive >_>. It's core, in my opinion.

I know that one thing is for certain: When I get used to active items, I will start to get much better. I also believe that getting used to not having those actives will teach one to find a less hazardous play-style.
I'm just not really one to rely on such predicaments. I feel that if I need Zhonya's active to save my life, then I'm doing something wrong.


And yeah, denying RoA on Ryze is only hurting yourself.

@Scrax

Having Tear, BV, and Frozen Heart is core, in my opinion RoA is more situational since it does take 10 minutes to charge.

Early RoA's fix that. I usually go:

Tear > Boots > Catalyst > Sorc. Shoes > RoA > Blablabla.

I prefer to rush FH/BV for survivability, since I wind up carrying, I get focused a lot.
I'll give RoA another shot, but I've had success up til now without it.

<--- (much prefers AA) Of course, after starting with Tear and getting other important mana items. But then again, I don't play Ryze that much any more.

RoA, after the tear, has the most mana of any of the items you'll buy on Ryze.
