In the early stages of the 2022 season, the Mid Lane Mage meta is returning across all professional tournaments.
As a pure control mage, plus good ganking ability, Ryze is in theory a champion very suitable for the current meta.
Up to now, Ryze is the 3rd most chosen Mid Lane champion in this tournament (21 times), but his win rate is extremely low (34.8%).
On the other hand, Ryze has a completely different face in LPL Spring 2022. This champion is also chosen the 3rd most times (43 times), and has a quite high win rate (58.1%).
In particular, the top Mid Lane players of the LPL are still using Ryze extremely effectively, typically Doinb, Knight or Angel, Xiaohu all have a 100% win rate with the Ancient Mage.
According to Faker in a recent interview, the problem in LCK is not this champion but the players: `I think the fact that players make mistakes when using Ryze is the champion’s biggest problem.
In addition, many experts also pointed out that Ryze’s recent `full tank` item build is more suitable for LPL’s fighting style than LCK.
Obviously, even though the League of Legends meta in each tournament is similar, the characteristics of each region still greatly affect the results.
Meanwhile, the continuous fighting in LPL gives Ryze more room to play with his tanky playstyle.
In the near future, Ryze will still be a popular choice in the Mid Lane when there are not many major changes in updates.
