LOL PBE 4/9/2015: Ryze Rework

One of League’s original 40 champions, Ryze’s gameplay has been largely left alone over the last five and a bit years. Welp, time to change “has” to “had”, because the champion update crew just finished creating a Rogue Mage fit for 2015’s champion aficionados. Alongside his new ability and sound effects, a couple of Ryze’s abilities have undergone some pretty hefty changes.

Passive: Arcane Mastery
Ryze builds up stacks of Arcane Mastery as he casts his abilities. After reaching max stacks, Ryze becomes temporarily supercharged and gains a couple of powerful buffs: casting an ability significantly reduces the cooldown of his other abilities. Ryze also gains a shield based on his max mana. Ryze’s damage dealing abilities scale in part with his maximum mana.

Q: Overload
Ryze fires a ball of rune energy out in a target direction, damaging the first enemy struck.

W: Rune Prison
Ryze traps a targeted enemy, damaging them and rooting them for a short duration.

E: Spell Flux
Ryze targets an enemy unit, blasting them with a slow-moving ball of energy that, after striking the target, splits to damage all nearby enemies before returning to Ryze’s original target, dealing increasing damage based on the number of bolts.

R: Desperate Power
Passive: Ryze passively gains cooldown reduction. Active: Ryze channels immense power, gaining significant spell vamp and movement speed and turning all of his abilities into area of effect abilities.
