Definitely Smartcast on Ryze, it makes landing the spell combo much easier. Farm up the Tear as your first priority so every spell cast adds to your mana pool. Keep in mind the range of your Q is the longest among all your spells, otherwise you will find your combo limited by range. Other AP mids dominate your early because they outrange you. Against a shorter ranged nuker like Annie, you will be able to stand your ground until lvl 6.

Summoner spells are totally up to personal preference. I prefer running Teleport. Allows me to spam, pop back and return to lane without missing a creep. Also allows me some map control. I can Teleport top or bottom lane if they keep their bush warded for a surprise gank, they won't expect me coming after seeing me continually farming mid.

Oh okay

Ooo I see I see. How about the skill build for ryze, better to learn everything in 1 go since this champ got me interested more and more.

This is more my personal style of playing Ryze.

Skill build : Max Q, then W and lastly E. Pick up your ult at lvls 6, 11, 16. Pick up one level of W at lvl 2 and one level of E at lvl 4.

A brief walkthrough on early game which is his weakest :

Early game objective : Rush up a Tear.
Starting items : Sapphire Crystal + 2 Health Pots
Target Gold : With a S.Crystal, you will need roughly 600 gold to compete your Tear.

Start passively to gauge your opponent. Look at their summoner skills and starting items. If they start Doran's Ring, consider harassing as they do not have regen. If they have multiple pots, your call. Last hit and farm. Don't overextend.

When you hit 600 gold, considering Recalling for an early Tear. But if you have more than half HP and Mana, consider trading with your opponent. You are going to recall anyway, might as well force them to recall or lower their HP. If they are passive and won't trade, zone them. When your creep wave is about to hit their tower, recall.

Once you have your Tear, spend every moment farming up the mana bonus. Use your Q constantly to last hit and harass. Your Q should never be off cooldown for more than a few seconds. Consider ganking top or bottom lane.

Lulu and Soraka and Taric picked on same team in IPL

What in the world has happened to LoL!!

You can check out solomid.net or mobafire.com for guides.

Darn, I actually watched the game just now. Kog maw for damage, Lulu and Soraka going AP for damage and sustain, Janna pure support, Mundo for Jungle/Ganking/Tanking. Pretty strong combo with a well made team. I was like WOW Kogmaw cant even dead with all those healing.

Those comp are pretty good for surprising oppositions

Once figured out, it became TSM v CLG in the finals lol

Agreed. It can go like 1-2 games only. For some surprise move. Once those top team saw it, it is just the mean of time to sort it out and counter.

i love to use ryze..
my build tears- magic penetration boot-frozen heart/banshee- archangle

some question.. do i need rabbadon?? cause with build above i can spam skill with superb CD.. or maybe just add more mana since game was drag to long..

Ryze is best built with mana based damage. With your listed items there, additional would be ROA or Will of Ancients (combo with ur ulti)

and Yayy, next Tuesday, Heracim's Patch with Major Updates

I don't think you need Rabandon for Ryze.

love to new update with more details damage output now i know my teemo exact damage xD

Rabandon cap for Ryze is usually for late game .. Been building AP Ryze for sometime. I can say he only shine at late game with AP build. Mana build is more to early to mid game and sustainability.

Ryze scales on mana, not AP. Ryze is laughable if he goes AP.

The amount of damage gained from mana vs cost as opposed to the cost and damage gained from AP.

Amplifying Tome: 25 AP for 435g
Sapphire Crystal: 200 Mana for 400g

The Amplifying Tome adds 5 damage to his Q, his main damage skill.
The Sapphire Crystal adds 20 damage, making mana 4 times as effective than AP, along with the fact you have a much larger mana pool to cast your skills.


The gold you spend on Rabbadon is better spent on WotA for spell vamp or on Void Staff for the MPen.

can i know where can i watch LOL competition game play?

youtube ?
