What makes Ryze dangerous
Ryze roots you with his W (empowered by his E), chains rapid spell combos for heavy sustained damage, and his ultimate opens a portal to move his team across the map. He's a scaling mage who becomes a machine-gun of magic damage late, but he's immobile and weak in the early game.
How to play against Ryze
- 1Punish his weak early game — Ryze is a scaler with a clunky early laning phase. Poke and pressure him before he comes online.
- 2His root (W) is short-range and needs his E to be reliable — dodge his E-marked spells and don't stand point-blank.
- 3He's immobile with no escape besides his ult portal. Dive him or all-in when his root is on cooldown.
- 4Magic resist blunts his sustained combo. Force fights before he out-scales — the longer the game, the stronger he is.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Weak, clunky early game; scaling-reliant.
- ✓Immobile with no escape besides his ult.
- ✓Short-range root — punishable up close.
- ✓Magic resist blunts his combo damage.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Ryze's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
비전 연마라이즈의 스킬이 추가 마나에 따라 추가 피해를 입히고, 최대 마나가 주문력에 비례해 증가합니다.
Q
과부하기본 지속 효과로 라이즈가 다른 스킬을 사용하면 과부하의 재사용 대기시간이 초기화되고 룬 하나를 충전합니다. 룬이 2개 충전된 상태에서 과부하를 사용하면 이동 속도가 잠시 대폭 증가합니다.사용 시 라이즈가 순수한 에너지를 일직선으로 발사해 첫 번째 맞는 적에게 피해를 입힙니다. 대상에게 전이 표식이 있으면 과부하가 추가 피해를 입히고 전이 표식이 있는 주변 적에게 튕깁니다.
W
룬 감옥라이즈가 대상을 룬 감옥에 가두고 피해를 입히며 이동 속도를 늦춥니다. 대상에게 전이 표식이 있으면 이동 속도를 늦추는 대신 속박합니다.
Strong: a root (empowered via his E) that locks you for his combo. Weak: short range — dodge his E-marked spells and don't stand point-blank.
E
주문 전이라이즈가 순수한 마법의 구체를 던져 적에게 피해를 입히고 주변 모든 적에게 표식을 남깁니다. 표식이 남은 적에게 라이즈가 스킬을 사용하면 추가 효과가 적용됩니다.
R
공간 왜곡기본 지속 효과로 과부하가 전이 표식이 있는 적에게 더 큰 피해를 입힙니다.사용 시 라이즈가 근처에 차원문을 생성합니다. 몇 초 후, 차원문 주변의 모든 아군이 대상 지점으로 순간이동 합니다.
Strong: a portal to teleport his team across the map. Weak: it's a scaling/utility tool — punish his weak early game before he comes online.
Itemization
Ryze is a scaling AP combo mage. Punish his weak early game, dodge his E-marked root setup, and magic resist blunts his damage. Dive him when his root is down; end before he scales.
