The newest patch notes for the League of Legends are out now, and there’s a champion who’s no stranger to patches included in the notes for the Patch 9.12. Ryze is once again having his abilities changed, though this time it’s not quite the full-scale rework that we’ve seen for him in the past like when the Realm Warp was added.

Ryze has his abilities modified

League of Legends Partially Reworks Ryze Again

Instead, he’s had his damage numbers adjusted, now has the normal three ranks to his ultimate, and he’s losing his passive shield given to him by firing off his machine gun spells.

We may roll our eyes at the idea of another Ryze rework no matter how small, but if we’ve been active on the PBE servers, we should have already known this was already coming. Ryze, alongside other champions like Kalista and Azir, is said to be very difficult to balance between normal play and the professional teams where he’s surrounded by the coordinated teams. These latest changes look to tone down his performance at the highest levels while helping out those all in the lower ranks who can’t weave their combos perfectly every time.

“When Ryze is played optimally, he covers his weaknesses incredibly well,” the explanation in the patch notes said. “At the same time, he benefits highly from a coordinated team. Pro play relishes champions with these characteristics, which is why he’s been such a strong pick in the space. We’re chipping away at these strengths to quell his presence there, but at the same time, helping out those who are looking to pick him up and aren’t as precise in their combos.”
