fail spell

Was originally going to upvote, but there's too much wrong to warrant upvoting it.

Rylai's is pretty bad on him (gives no mana and AP doesn't help much), no utility tree at all, Boots 2 AND Catalyst before Tear...

It's a mostly decent build, not BAD by any means, but not worthy of an upvote IMO

You do know ryze's ap ratio's are garbage right? you build mana tank so your overload hits like a truck

The lack of damage in this build is proposterous, sorry but -1.

Not rushing Tear and ROA seems rather silly.
Tear makes mana problems go away, it takes 250 casts up to stack it fully, it also gives you more damage.

Getting a Roa so close to endgame is also just a waste of money as it needs time to charge, it's not a little bit of mana, it's the largest mana source ryze can find when fully charged, do the math yourself if you want.

Also, no mention of smartcasting, while saying 'Learn to quickly chain your spells for combos' is great, smartcasting is faster. This is a fact.

Another thing, TP works great and isn't just used to BD, (Push the tear into a Manamune lategame to do this). I generally get my teammates or myself to ward. Then you can use it as an easy ganking tool, ryze is a great ganker with his snare, damage.

Also, he has the ability to lower multiple enemies Magic Resist with the 'throwaway' spellflux. Seeing as you put Rylai's on him that would proc giving you the 15% slow.

Another good build with ryze, though there are already so many of them. +1 for taking the time to share your experience and dedication to the build :)

Getting TOG earlier will give increased damage a bit faster. other than that i like it

I enjoyed the guide overall but i do agree with eruner with the fact that the increase in mana is indeed substantial in the utility tree. Tears of the goddess would also be of much more use getting before the catalyst. The damage increase there and consistent upgrade is too substantial to ignore. I do not like the fact that you prioritized banshees over rod of ages only because in order to meet your full potential items like that need the time to grow. You may find banshees veil fits your play style but rod early has a much larger impact on damage than you put it out to make. You should not need to rush Banshees and carry cleanse, i find it a bit overkill but maybe you like getting into sticky situations. I enjoy the guidework, but the item tree is not all to impressive. Everyone has their own playstyles though. Just figured i would throw in what i got :)

good guide,
ability sequence is perfect,
you said good tips with item build,
(I preffe Tears of goddes sooner)


didnt you thing about 8 points in utility tree? More manna and regen, I think its good too
