There have never been mid-level characters in League of Legends, but few champions who find themselves either in the top three, destroying everything in their path, or bottom of the basket with an absolute profit rate. To get an idea, a champion is generally considered very weak when their win rate drops below 48% (conversely, when the rate goes above 52%, the champion starts counting as OP). At 12:10 p.m., only 11 out of 160 symbols were below the known payout of 48%. Still, Rice played very well this patch, gaining a 43% percentage, 2 points ahead of second-worst champion Aphelios. Again for comparison, the strongest champion at 12.10 was “only” at 54%.
Is the concept more handicapping than exciting?
Although Ryze is mostly known today as a keyboard fighter (due to spell spamming) and one of Faker’s favorite champions, his concept was already causing problems early in the game. The concept was very simple, instead of gaining power in the Magi archetype like other champions, Rice had to build up mana. The more he had, the more damage his spells would do. The problem that came up very quickly was related to existing objects. Only the later Staff of Ages (an early game-building magic item that grants life, AP, and mana during play), Frozen Heart, and the older Banshee’s Veil (which gives his current passive resistance magic to HP, but also a lot of mana), son of Rice He became extremely resistant, but also did as much damage as other mages (depending on the game, he usually added the ancient archangel to his build and the last item of mana).
You don’t have to write an essay on war and peace to know that a distant character who can be a tank and a fighter when alongside the best mages, even a very late game, is very powerful. For the game. Thus, Riot Games has started a balancing act with this character who oscillates between the worst and the best characters in the game and who has no desire to stand in the middle. It’s also worth noting that Mana was a stat for many other items before Riot Games changed that. Note that this change is not intended to level up the races of Raiz or Singh (the other champion responsible for their total amount of mana at the time), but to allow other champions to benefit from more relevant stats than to spend gold. Statistics. They didn’t need it. However, over the seasons, Riot had to profoundly modify these two characters.
Unlike Singh, who was cut off by his full mana, Reese’s damage has always been partially based on his full mana. He underwent a complete overhaul as well as many spell changes, but he never made it into an average champion because he was either too strong or too weak. Even today, it’s a real headache for Riot Games because if it does well in SoloQ, it happens on OP teams and is a big part of the competitive meta.
დინარეCurrent status
Ryze was at the bottom of the cliff with some Winrate patches. In the end, 12.11 gave him a good result which allowed him to gain 3% win rate. This is why soloQ peaks at 46% win rate above platinum levels. Although they remained mediocre, two champions managed to fall below him: Gwen and Aphelios. Still, that wasn’t enough for Rice to lose the Worst Champion title. The other two characters are still relatively popular, and Rice is the third least picked character in this ranking, only losing to Sivir and Braum. This means that only Ryze’s hands continue to choose him, while Gwen and Aphelios can be chosen. If only their hard hands are played on it, it is possible that the profit rates will still exceed Rooney’s magic level.
