I jungle mumu, and he does require some finesse. Wee bit harder to play than nunu, but mumu's late game is much superior.

My placement matches for ranked have gone horrible ;_; I just wanted to get bronze, but I got 4 different games where either we had a feeder, a leaver, or a plainly retarded team comp (counting that I tried to equalize the team by choosing w/e piece was missing, like jungle or support or carry). Solo queue sucks balls.

My friends are waiting for me to hit lvl 30 before they do ranked games so that we can just do them as a team instead of solo queueing. I think that idea may end up backfiring horribly, since I am already imagining how much harder things will probably be for us. ;)

(Also, was there ever a LoL name swap? Mine is Imeena if anyone wants to add me :) )

I'm a third of the way between 19 and 20. Can't wait to hit 20 and get all those delicious Ryze runes I've been eying for the past 15 levels. :)

It's annoying to play games with my higher level friends and play against level 20+ employees who are already benefitting from the tier 3 runes and quints. In my best games like that I've been like 3/5/14.

:-/

I've got like 9.3k saved up. Everything I'll need at level 20 will cost me around 10.3k. But almost HALF of that is 2 movement speed quints so I can hold off on one of those if necessary.

I don't even know how much IP I've blown on runes... Hmmm, 1 sec... Quick calculation gives me 29-31k. Now I have 2k and I can't decide wether to get a set of AP/lvl blues or get Gragas.

Out of curiosity, what set-up are you planning on using for Ryze?

I played Talon for a handful of games last night, and I think I may have found my champion. Everything seems to make sense on him, and when I see an opening...people die. Fast.

So I found out today that not only does PC Gamer have a free Caitlyn skin, you also get HER for free if you use said code. Yay for saving IP.

Hmm, imo those cooldown runes aren't worth it. Remember that cooldown caps at 40%. Ryze's Q gives you 10%, Frozen Heart (assuming you build it, but it's an incredibly common Ryze item) gives you 20%. That's 30% already. The cooldown masteries are 3% and 6% respectively, either or will put you at the mid-30s, both will put you at 39%.

Cooldown reduction caps at 40%.

Oh, and blue buff gives you 16% cooldown red at lvl 1, and +1% every 2 levels.

Yeeep. A friend of mine is hitting walmart twice a week to check when they're releasing it here (they still have the last issue). Almost everyone that I know that plays is grabbing it.

I'd highly recommend some straight +mana or +mana/level runes for Ryze - the extra damage is a lot more helpful than cdr, for the reasons listed above. It also lets you cast more spells!

I read this thread religiously. I don't play the game. I just like to read the posts and realize that I have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

That's ridiculous.

Try the game at least. Even as a complete noob you'll have some idea of what we're talking about.

I reread the entire thread yesterday and it made a lot more sense the second time through.

I tried it. I hate RTS games. So I stopped playing it.

I know Rhyze is a good character,but for some reason I dont seem to be able to play him well.Only AP type I can play well are Rumble,Veigar or Lux.

Siphon of Destruction was his bread and butter for building his absorption shield. Now only the damage from the first enemy hit counts. Can't smack a huge group of minions for insta-full shield any more.

In the video they said the shield only gains half of what it used to when hitting creeps and full when hitting champions.Seems managable to me.

That's in addition to the siphon nerf. If the shield gain was by itself, yes, I'd have said that was manageable, but in ADDITION to that, they also nerfed Siphon specifically.

That hurts.But in Ranked hes one of the chars that almost always is banned.Havent played him in ages.Interesting what they did with Taric.Might give him a shot.
And thank god they nerfed Oriannas range.One could never get close to her.

This is the guide I'd recommend for Ryze. With his passive, cooldown reduction is just a lot less powerful than having more mana, and through it more damage output. Between a Frozen Heart and elixirs you're going to be sitting at 39% anyway, so any runes for it are wasted in that situation. If you're ever getting blue buff as well, it's even more overkill. Mana, on the other hand, always means more damage!
