Historical versus modern
Ability names differ between historical 3.15.5 and modern 16.14.1 (Desperate Power); values and mechanics still require Classic launch-client verification.
Ryze, the Rogue Mage, is documented here from Riot's 3.15.5 historical snapshot. The Mid / Top labels are an editorial navigation taxonomy, not launch-patch usage statistics.
Three-layer build system
Ryze build evidence
Only layers with qualifying evidence are shown. Creator-tested and launch-verified layers are absent until their evidence gates pass.

Frequently Asked Questions
01Is Ryze officially confirmed in the complete League Classic roster?
Riot confirms a 60-champion launch composition, but the complete name list used here is a community-datamined League Wiki observation. Ryze's individual roster slot is therefore labelled community-datamined until Riot publishes or the launch client verifies it.
02Are Ryze's ability values launch verified?
No. The displayed historical references come from Riot Data Dragon 3.15.5; observed and launch-verified value fields remain null.
03Is this the best Ryze Classic build?
No. It is a Riot-authored historical item direction with no win-rate, Tier or launch-match sample claim.
