    Athene's Unholy Grail great for any mid caster really. Not sure if it will be a better opening than RoA though.

    Ive done the math and if Ryze has 3000 mana a .5% mana scaling nerf is only 15 damage. However with only 200 ap Ryze gains 40 damage from the .2 ap scaling buff. Also the added 1% damage to his e, again when he has 3000 mana is 30 damage on each hit so that is a pretty large buff. Im pretty sure 3000 mana and 200 ap on late game Ryze is a reasonable amount. Oh i forgot the 20 damage buff to overload too. these are very obviously buffs for Ryze, who is already a very strong character. Do the math yourselves and you'll see how much of buffs these really are.

    How big these really are huh? You really want to see?

    This is based on your 3000 mana pool and 200ap, though the after section includes only 2775 mana as he loses some from the ult change

    Overload
    Before 140 + 40 + 225 = 405
    After 160 + 80 + 180 = 420

    +15 gain BUT range reduced to 650

    Rune Prison

    150 reduced to 125

    25 loss AND losing 10% snare duration at max rank


    Spell Flux

    + 27 gain

    AS YOU CAN SEE, adding an autoattack into his combo will make a bigger difference than these changes, yet you've listed them as obvious strong buffs...

     However he's losing Q range and snare duration. The movement speed will help make him a little less gankable and kitable, but its not great at early levels. His lane is going to be weaker, and the damage buffs are pretty unnoticeable.

    You  forgot that the buffs are way stronger early game.

    1. He desl way more dmg with less than 2k mana.

    2. His base dmg is way better

    3. His ult now gives a lot of MS

    4. His mana costs are way lower

    5 Spell flux hits normally 3-5 times (your 27 gets to 81-135) and then with his ult, he deals 50% AOE dmg, too, what increases the effect of the little late game buffs.
    Also the Q buff in dmg is a 4% buff late game, what is a decent amount.

    Ryze was always one of the best (probably the best) late game caster. These buffs won't make him a lot stronger late game, but a bit.
    At the same time they will make him a lot stronger early on, where he had his weakest phase (the phase to counter him, get an advantage and hold him down).

    => Pretty huge buffs, and I'm sure riot wanted to make his early game stronger, but also nerf his late game, and so they will probably reduce te AP ratio again a little bit (0.3) and nerf the mana scaling on Q (6%) and reduce the base dmg a bit (-5) and maybe even nerf W or E mana ratios (W:4% or E:0.8%).

    Bear in mind that snare reduction and Q loss of range is really going to hurt his early lane phase. Lane ryze is all about poking with Q and last hitting to get to the hugely strong end game. Bringing is Q down to 650 brings him in line with most other mages i.e. he can't get a free out of range poke at them anymore without taking harass back, which will probably hit him harderfrom most other mages early game.

    Ryze Buffs are so unnecessary... and the new item, Unholy grail thing. its soo perfect for ryze >_< like wtf? this patch is so oriented around Ryze and other AP mids.

    Spellonyew are you kidding?? These aren't Ryze buffs. His scaling from mana is being reduced, and his scaling from ap is being increased. Therefore to reach the same level of damage he was at before this patch, he will have to build more AP items i.e. will be far less tanky than he is at the moment. Also how is Athene's Unholy Grail perfect for ryze? It has mana regen, not mana. Sure the mana sustain early on may help, but really with most ryze builds that will be fixed with far more useful items for later in the game. I'm not sure you've really understood this patch..

    The listed cost of Grail is quite a bit higher than the sum of the parts + combine.

    890+1245+500=2635, not 2950.
