The Ryze rework in League of Legends looks really strong!
Riot Games has often tried to adapt the blue rune mage through updates to the game. Until now, the developers have probably not been satisfied with the changes to this champion, which is why they have developed another rework. With more options for spell combinations and an ultimate that takes his teammates on a journey, Ryze is set to establish himself again on the various maps of League of Legends.

Ryze’s Abilities
The new abilities provide more combo potential than before – mindlessly “rolling your face on the keyboard, just make sure the ultimate is on” is no longer as successful as it was in previous patches with Ryze.
Passive – Arcane Mastery
- Depending on his bonus mana, Ryze’s spells deal additional damage. Additionally, his maximum mana increases by a percentage of his ability power.
Q – Overload
- Passive: All other spells, except “Overload”, reset the cooldown of “Overload” and charge a special rune. If you cast another spell while the rune is active, you can fully charge the rune. If you cast “Overload” instead of another spell, you break the rune charge.
- Active: You shoot a rune projectile in a target direction, which deals damage to the first enemy it hits. If you have a fully charged rune when casting “Overload”, you gain a shield and bonus movement speed for a limited time.
W – Rune Prison
- You hold a target in place and deal magic damage to the target.
E – Spell Cascade
- The target takes magic damage and is marked with “Cascade”. The next spell that hits a target marked with “Cascade” has additional effects:
- Overload jumps to nearby enemies marked with Cascade and deals additional damage.
- Rune Prison now holds a target for twice as long.
- Spell Cascade jumps to nearby enemies and marks them with the Cascade effect.
- If you kill a target marked with Cascade, this mark jumps to nearby enemies.
R – Realm Warp
- A portal opens under Ryze, teleporting allies within this portal to a target location chosen by Ryze after a few seconds. This target location cannot be directly under Ryze.
Using the Combinations of Ryze’s Spells
With the various deployment options – especially through Cascade – you should now pay more attention to which keys you need to press at which time. After you have held an opponent with your enhanced Rune Prison, you can then cut them off with well-placed ultimate. Particularly with Realm Warp, you can create surprise moments for the enemy team (and sometimes also for inattentive allies).
