I feel like the rework is just a buff. Nerfing the mana ratios and buffing the AP ratios as they did just doesn't make sense to me. Late-game you're losing 225 mana and a 2.5% mana ratio in a realistic 3 overload combo for a .6 AP ratio and movespeed. A full-build mana Ryze will typically have somewhere around 4000 mana. That means you're losing around 110 damage in a full combo for .6 AP. Mana itemization is still the most efficient, but the rework allows for a larger variety in build. Am I looking at this wrong? If-so I'd like to be corrected. I just don't get why they'd make Ryze better. He was so good before. I haven't really had a terrible game with the guy, which is pretty rare for casters and me.
