Ryze Mid guide

Ryze mid is a scaling mage built around Spell Flux (E), Overload (Q), and Rune Prison (W): land Spell Flux (E) to debuff a target, follow with Overload (Q) for the reset and bonus damage, then Rune Prison (W) to root instead of slow while Realm Warp (R) opens a portal to reposition his team.

The build

Rune page: Deathfire Touch, Manaflow Band, Celerity, and Scorch (Sorcery), with Overgrowth and Bone Plating (Resolve). Summoners: Flash and Teleport. Skill order opens Spell Flux (E) at level 1, then maxes Overload (Q) first with Spell Flux (E) second. Starter: Doran's Ring and two Health Potions, into Mercury's Treads. Core build: Tear of the Goddess, Rod of Ages, Seraph's Embrace, and Actualizer, with Zhonya's Hourglass and Rabadon's Deathcap as later options.

Ability mechanics

Overload (Q) resets its cooldown and charges a rune whenever Rune Prison (W) or Spell Flux (E) is cast, and casting it with two runes charged grants a burst of Move Speed; against a Flux-debuffed target it deals extra damage and bounces to nearby enemies. Rune Prison (W) slows a target but roots them instead if they carry Flux. Spell Flux (E) debuffs an enemy and everyone near them, and Realm Warp (R) makes Overload (Q) hit Flux targets even harder before dropping a portal that teleports allies to it.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Syndra, Ahri, Zed, Twisted Fate, Viktor. Best matchups: Locke, Sylas, Yone.
