Reason why you should not make a guide before...

[quote=Luther3000]I agree that Ryze guide isn't exactly perfect from a brief look at the item build and the layout, but his items are more or less on the right track. The top rated Ryze guide was for a time the highest rated on the site, and IMO is more or less exactly how he should be built. All that's really wrong with the items is that he's building them in the wrong order. AP Ryze = Squishy and does average damage (due to Ryze's awful AP ratios on just about everything) Tanky mana Ryze = Tanky and does pretty good damage It's a fairly easy decision which is better.[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis][quote=yegaboo11] Just because his Q and W scale with max mana doesn't mean you have to build him with "tanky" mana items, such as double RoA, and semi-rushing banshee's veil. [/quote] Do the maths yourself. 500 AP late game vs ~4000-5000 mana (depending on if you're runed or not) (or even 40 AP vs 400 mana, if you so desire) I can tell you for a fact that the mana damage will be a LOT more, and you can take SO many more hits.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Ya that build is good except that he doesn't get RoA early, which means he may lose a lot of the benefits from the passive[/quote]
