Learn how to Ryze counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Watch for the E+W combo — When marked with Flux (E), his W roots instead of slows. Look for the blue glow effect on your champion and retreat when marked.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Position behind minions when trading with Ryze — His Q (Overload) is blocked by the first unit hit, significantly reducing his damage output.
Basic Lane Phase
Fight Ryze early and often during laning phase — He scales with items and levels, so delaying his scaling by forcing trades before he can build his core items puts him behind.
Basic Lane Phase
Engage when his E is on cooldown — Without Flux (E), his W only slows instead of roots, and his Q won't spread damage, significantly reducing his threat.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Force all-ins at level 6 — Your combat ultimate will be stronger than Ryze's R (Realm Warp), which provides no direct damage or combat stats.
Lane Phase
Avoid standing near Fluxed allies or minions — His Q will spread damage to all Fluxed targets, potentially hitting you even when hiding behind minions.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Look to force team fights in the mid-game — Ryze tries to avoid team fights during this phase as he's still scaling, making this a vulnerability window.
Team Fight
Ward side bushes and river entrances when Ryze is missing — His R (Realm Warp) can transport his team medium distances for surprise ganks and flanks.
