Besides the new champion Maokai, the biggest thing this patch is the new and improved Ryze. The patch hasn't come out yet but they did release the patch notes. After my post on Maokai I will have one on how the new ryze plays out, but for now we'll have to stick with what we know and theory craft.
An analysis on Ryze, Old vs New
Overload:
Overload is Ryze's signature skill, a high damage bolt of energy that not only scales off of ability power, but also scales off his maximum mana. Obviously the bread and butter of any Ryze assault, and the rework still sticks true to this deliciousness.
Old Overload:
- 2/4/6/8/10% cooldown reduction as a passive effect
- 50/90/130/170/210 base damage, plus 45% of his ability power and 10% of his max mana
- 11/10/9/8/7 second cooldown
- 50/65/80/85/110 mana cost
- 600 range and 1200 missile speed
New Overload:
- 2/4/6/8/10% cooldown reduction as a passive effect
- 30/55/80/105/130 base damage, plus 20% of his ability power and 10% of his max mana
- 3.5 second cooldown
- 70 mana cost
- 675 range and 1400 missile speed
Obviously the biggest change is that while nearly slicing the damage in half, they also sliced the cooldown in half. Along with that, the mana cost has been set to 70 at all ranks, and they increased the range and the speed the missile travels.

What is the first thing you might have noticed when looking at Karma? OMG small boobs WTF *sad face*. She ain’t a looker, although some people might dig gypsy chicks (I, for one, am terribly afraid of all gypsies after reading Stephen King’s Thinner and watching the horror film Drag me to hell). However, I do find her skill set to be very interesting. Let’s take a look at her skills:
