The thing is you dont even need to build an AP Ryze.Just Get his Mana to Astronomical hights and you are melting faces. Archangel Staff,Frozen Heart,Rod of Ages.He is almost an off tank sometimes.

Yep. I almost never build RoA on him, though, I use the catalyst to make a banshee's veil for the much needed MR. An Archangel's or two, a Deathcap, frozen brain, banshee's, penetration boots, and you're good to go.
Edit: Oh yeah Gusto, if you're using Utility masteries for Ryze, the extra 5% mana from the Utility mastery (Expanded Mind) isn't worth it, get the extra 5% xp one instead:
On a beefy end-game Ryze, say you have 1200 base mana + 2800 mana from objects (two Archangel's, a Banshee's/RoA, and a Frozen Heart). If I recall correctly, Expanded Mind only works off the base mana, but let's say it also works on the items (so we have the 4000 mana total to multiply from).
4000 * .05 = 200 additional mana.
200 * .08 = 16 additional damage on Overload
200 * .05 = 10 additional damage on Rune Prison
This is at level 18 and with a /very/ mana oriented build. The 5% extra xp, on the other hand, will allow you to level a bit faster, which is great in mid-game for teamfights and stuff.
Haven't seen a single champion where Expanded Mind is worth it over the other one, in my opinion, and Ryze would be the most benefited.

I go Sorc Shoes - Rod of Ages - (Banshee's Veil - Frozen Heart - Archangel's Staff), generally. Things in parentheses are items that can have their buy order reshuffled, depending on circumstances.
I had another great Ryze game this morning. I find other players are often dumber than advanced bots, now that I'm playing more REAL games.

I totaly fell in love with Urgot. What a awsome harasser and last hitter.Im the most flamed at player during team fights. He got incredible zone controldes good damage,while having a very low cooldown. 1.46 second 150 + 80% AD nuke that has INCREDIBLE range,when in lockon mode.
So....any thoughts on Wukong? The only beef i have with him is his freaking Ulti.it knocks everyone once up into the air.
Just started playing this over the past week. Been working with Katarina so far, with mixed results - if I get left alone long enough to get some items she's a powerhouse, but if I get focused early on she dies, fast. Probably going to unlock Nocturne first, since he seems to have a similar style while being more dangerous.
Anyway, if anyone's looking for someone (pretty bad) to play with, my ID is Vriishnak and I'm online quite a bit.

Rumble is the meanest Lane Bully there is.From early till late game he dominates Lanes like nobodys buisness. Coupled together with a stunner he rapes face.

I found in full pvp mode, I have a lot easier time if I play Soraka, pick who the face-shredder is and follow him around healing him. It turns a good player into an absolutely unbalancedly devastating weapon of mass destruction.
But I still love popping out of the grass on rumble, flamethrower blazing, shield up, and firing taser-harpoons. Oh, you thought you got away? BIGASS LINE OF ELECTRO MISSILES HALFWAY ACROSS THE MAP!

What happens when you get a few good ganks early game with ashe...other team gets mad and keeps trying to end your streak. After lots and lots of tower diving, followed by a huge amount of creep kills I hit 18 while everybody else is still 14 with heaps of cash for items. Ended with 28 kills and 3 deaths. 20 kills in a row with my first every triple kill.
Warglebargle, connection's gotten worse, now it's hard to play pvp competently... Happily I'll be back states-side in two weeks and I can go back to playing my beloved Anivia.
Been trying out Amumu and Jax lately, they're amusing enough. Also thinking of getting one of the champ bundles, spending $20 on the game sounds about fair for the hours I've gotten out of it.

Tried Jax. Definitely not my style. Tried annie, since she came down in price to 450... seems that with annie, if I do positively everything right for the first 6 levels and don't screw up anything at all ever, then she turns into an invincible PUSH ALL THE BUTTONS instant-kill dispenser. But if I screw up even once, or, god forbid, die, my damage is anemic for the rest of the game, and even tibbers-with-stun can't save me.
I'm obsessed with Garen. Haven't played another hero since I picked him up.

I like Garen too. And this latest patch buffed him a little bit.

I've met precious few wukong players who weren't screechraging kidbrains. I can almost sympathize with the feeders here.
On another note, Heroes of Newerth went free to play, but for some reason I'm not even remotely interested in it. Yeah, yeah, I know the graphics are better and all that jazz... but I like this. It's filling my need, I see no cause to make myself play two games while one is fun.

I swear Riot only lowers the price of champions I've already bought ;_;
I looked at HoN and the design seemed bland when compared to LoL, like comparing a everything-is-brown-and-gritty FPS with TF2. Plus, it resembles DOTA2 much more than LoL does, so I'm guessing they'll lose more people to it than we will.

Had my best match ever last night. 32/9/17 on gangplank. Booyeah.
Gear was meki pendant + 2 health potions to start, Ionian boots of lucidity, then ramped up meki to Manamune, then built a Stark's Fervor, then infinity edge, then Last Whisper, then Phantom Dancer. Once all that was up, it was absolutely sick.

This usually happenes in Random Que with people below 30. Once you hit Ranked Play, most of the time you will play with people who take shit seriously or you will have found people you like to team up with.Ofcourse there will be dickheads once in a while,but they arent as rampant as in Non-Ranked games.Truth
Soooo I spent some money in the game. I feel dirty, but 30 bucks for 5-6 months of entertainment is more than fair. Got me a champ pack, and getting the Riot Singed skin once they put it up for their last sale.
Oh yeah, and me and my mates are probably joining an inter-college tournament being held in September, representing our uni. Here's the linkie to it http://www.cstarleague.com/news/949/csl-lol-tournament

Good luck,Den.Wish I had a serious group I could play with,but with me being the only Gamer in my circle of Friends,that probably isnt going to happen.
Who else is exited about Dominion?
kind of, not sure how it will pan out with my fav champs though. Also rendar, im in the same boat...are you NA or EU? we can team together sometime maybe? same goes for anybody, I play on NA under the name gargoyle4eva , anybody ever want to play lemme know. Usually play nasus, because he is total win.
Dominion has definitely caught my attention. Seems like Singed could be really fun in it <3
I think AoE nukers will really shine in Dominion (looking at you,Brand).
And sadly,i am playing in the EU (we have HORRIBLE server support) but that is gonna change as soon as account transfer will be activated.

Are they gonna enable US <-> EU or only East <-> West? Depending on if I move back to Spain permanently I would love getting my US account into West.
Razer is giving away free runes over this weekend, to celebrate PAX!
http://www.razerzone.com/pax/league-of-legends/ will get you the signup sheet - it's one +crit damage Mark and one +movement speed Quint, and if you're greedy (hint: be greedy) you can do it multiple times with different emails.
Just be aware that their servers are overloaded as shit, and I could only get any of it to work in IE.
Oh, and the codes can all be used in both NA and EU, so depending on where people are playing you may be able to pass the codes around for multiple uses.
