Well, you're wrong there.

I made an "oh" face when I saw that item and thought it through, and it's actually not that bad. Completely situational, and I wouldn't build it every match, but it's not bad by any means. It's actually pretty cheap, only 2.2k gold, compared to a lot of other items. It gives MR, a decent chunk of mana, and a nice active if you need it, that is not only a cleanse, but can be a very powerful heal. If you combo this with a seraphs embrace, it can make for some serious baiting and survivability. It also give mana regen which would also be awesome with a seraphs, considering that drains some of your mana.

The reason why this guide isn't that great, isn't because of the build or anything. Those are fine. It's because it's not a guide. You don't explain anything and it's extremely short. You know, sometimes I wish people gave other people a chance instead of immediately downvoting. And for those who say, oh but then Mobafire would be filled with trash guides. Well, one, it already is, a lot of them are top guides too, and two, no, it's remain at 50%, instead of dropping to 20%, and then everyone hopping on the bandwagon to destroy it and not teach anyone, anything. And to lagger, I really would, one day, like you to show us your elo, because you spam on everyone's guide like you're god and know everything. If you're not plat or above, you need to shut up. No vote from me.

the rest is still bad though (just one word: runes)

i dont think Mikael's Blessing is that bad. the early Chalice of Harmony really helps with the mr and the mana regen to stack the tear as fast as possible, while it stays good later with the mana fountain passive.
the upgrade on mikaels crucible is just a bonus. it is really good if you get ccd all the time and makes one of ryzes biggest weaknesses not hurt him as bad.
i consider it situational though, something you can build if you dont really need anything else.
edit: coding

Close, but no cigar. I'll be writing a ryze guide soon.

Mikael's Blessing is a very bad option on Ryze even if it gives mana, it's far too expensive since you're paying for a Cleanse active that may not even use most of the time. Your item build looks weird overall and it feels like you build the same every single game when anyone with some experience can tell you that you won't get far with a mono-build perspective unless you're an AD Carry (and even so, sometimes you must build X or Y sooner with them).

Basically, your guide feels like it needs some polishing and adding a few more sections to it.

I'm convinced nobody can make a Ryze guide.

Mikael's Blessing ahahahahaha my sides omg

Not bad, I like it

You gotta work on the coding and the cheatsheet.

There are some glaring errors here and there.

Trash

1. Can you make a list of "final build" cause it's kinda confusing to visualize your final build with all the items listed.

2. You have 2 spell chapter, one of those should be ability. try consolidating the ability & ability sequence chapter into one instead of the former being copy/paste from tooltip.

3. No gameplay and match up.
