Ryze

Where it thrives (5-comp fit)

• Splitworkable · 50%
• Protectworkable · 40%
• Attackworkable · 30%
• Ryze can hold up a Split plan — it applies the side pressure a 1-3-1 needs — but a Split-first shell gets more out of it (Split 5/10 vs Split 5/10).

Kit quirks

• Passive (Arcane Mastery) converts AP into bonus mana at 10% per 100 AP, creating a mana-AP scaling loop with mana-to-power conversion items
• Q (Overload) has a 2-charge system that resets on other spell casts and grants bonus movement speed at 2 stacks, enabling rapid-fire combos
• R (Realm Warp) is a 2-second channeled team teleport rather than a damage/engage ultimate, leaving Ryze and allies briefly rooted and silenced on arrival — a repositioning/split-to-group tool, not a wombo engage

Dragons & win rate

Win rate when Ryze's team secured at least one of each drake, next to the all-champion rate in that same state. Teams that take dragons are usually already ahead, so every champ wins more with them — the honest read is the gap, i.e. whether Ryze beats the average team that also has the drake. Single-drake samples are thin; treat small counts as suggestive.
