Playing as Ryze

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Flux, then Overload

    Cast Spell Flux (E) on your target or a nearby minion, then Overload (Q): the Flux spreads to nearby enemies, and the bolt bounces from one to the next.

  2. Root a target with Flux

    Cast Rune Prison (W) on a target marked by Spell Flux (E): they're rooted instead of slowed.

  3. Alternate your spells

    Alternate your spells in teamfights: Rune Prison (W) and Spell Flux (E) reset the cooldown of Overload (Q).

  4. Open a portal for your team

    Cast Realm Warp (R) to rotate to an objective or a flank: after a few seconds, all allies near you are teleported.

Playing against Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
