I never really thought about Righteous Glory, I guess now that you mention it RG would make a nice substitution to Rod of Ages. ROA gives more mana than RG therefore it gives him less damage ROA also gives AP so if you can't buy ROA early game then RG would be a nice substitution making you tankier, better ganks, and HP regen. Thanks for the input I'll add that into the build the next chance I get.

No righteous glory for more Speed in ganks? Or is it a bad option?

I didn't really have the opportunity to get screenshots of gameplay myself although I see your point in maxing W (Rune Prison) second, so your snare lasts longer for ganks. The only reason why I didn't recommend that was because it makes jungling a little bit harder (it makes you deal less damage to jungle creeps and you don't hit multiple creeps for a lot of damage). I think that you should alternate between leveling them starting with W (Rune Prison) first. TYVM for your input again :D

its a good guide :D (GJ), but you should up your snare second not last.
For the rest ITS A GUIDE you need to think about it too not just copy it, so a unfinished build isnt a problem at all.


sorry for my not that good english

Ryze's R woudln't be up as often if you didn't have as much CDR obviously but that goes with his Q, W, and E the reason why I take the CDR from the masteries is because it helps with the early game, I take Frozen Heart because it gives you the last CDR you need for the build, armor, and mana which is very important as Ryze. Thanks for the input i tried to think of another way around it and I'm still debating whether changing the masteries or replacing the item. The CDR early game helps jungling a lot so thats why. Also I definately recommend you try the build its pretty fun. Thanks for the input BTW :D

A question: You put a lot of CDR into this build on a champion that gets up to 30% from his R passive alone. Isn't that overkill? Obviously in the jungle you can't avoid Magus, but then you have Frozen heart too which gives you 75% CDR with your masteries, which is 35% over the cap. I don't see an easy solution (well, definitely change the masteries), but jungle Ryze is clearly hard to itemize for. I love the concept, but have not tried this at all. Maybe Righteous Glory could be worth looking into as a 4th item? I don't know. Keep up the good work!
