I miss the times where I could build Frozen Heart and Spirit Visage on Ryze. His mana ratios were higher, and I could build just Tear and RoA as my offensive items, then build tanky.

Sometimes I built tanky Ryze with Randuin's Omen as the final item, relying on Ryze's mana ratios as his source of damage and on his rune prison as his CC.

It was probably better to rework Ryze, after all. This build was extremely toxic because you could have a lot of damage as Ryze and yet be extremely hard to kill. At least the new Ryze is squishy (not that squishy but definitively way squishier than old Ryze)

The only problem I have with the new Ryze is that I can't get used to him. His passive is still confusing for me, his Q is a skillshot, and I am not accustomed to playing squishy Ryze.
