How to beat Ryze

Common role: Mid

A scaling combo mage who roots and chains spells, then teleports his team globally.

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.
