We’re supposed to be miserable
To be Ryze is to suffer.
I wouldn’t be playing this champ if he was a pick ban, top of the meta, 5 skins a year champion. Being an underdog is part of the appeal to me. To be a Ryze main is to endure - not to thrive. If you aren’t questioning your life choices while first picking him every game you are doing it wrong. This champ in a lot of ways is a constant up-hill battle, and I enjoy the miserable climb.
Do you want an easy, enjoyable time? Then don’t play this champ
Do you want to work 10x as hard to achieve the same results as 80% of the mid-lane roster while being blue and bald? Then lock the fuck in.
