Your vehicle might also need an engine over pedal power but that is not the point. Neither is your disregard for puns. Though I am glad I could snare your interest in this conversation with my puns!

Sorry if it came across as such, that I want the root gone, but I am not outright condemning the root. I am just pointing out that its in every rework but never changes.

It was meant to be the same kind of remark as pointing out how one person must be the culprit for always being seen around scene of disaster.

Or how Santa Claus and Jesus are the same person because you never see them in the same room together. Or how everyone else might be a figment of my imagination because only I can hear thoughts and they are my own.

Of course, while it was meant to be light hearted, it was meant to have tones towards the possibility that Riot might be holding on to the snare but trying to take Ryze in another direction, and that may be causing the repetitive need for reworks.

He isn't overpowered, just strong and annoying, and that's alright. His insta-root might just be a component not meshing as seamlessly ("balance" wise) as it should. Its not bad though, it could easily be the other parts of his kit not meshing.

But to be honest, he may probably end up becoming over popular after some LCS player plays him and he'll be deemed to annoying and lazily nerfed into the ground. Then he'll wallow for a while until reworked again and then, who knows, he might have a perfect, no annoyance, still utterly strong kit and the root could indeed still be there.

I am sure if Riot roots around they can find the problem. It may be the root itself but that may be just too deeply rooted in his kit to take out and they would have to take a different route. Hopefully not a course of routinely rerouting his kit with reworks but in the end I wouldn't be rooting for the roots removal.
