Ryze

The mechanic

Ryze's ultimate opens a portal. After a two second channel, Ryze and every ally standing inside the circle are teleported up to 3000 units away. Allies have to step in before the channel ends, or stay out if they do not want to go.

Why it needs saying

An ultimate that moves the whole team is only worth what the team does with it. Without a word, half the team steps into the circle and the other half does not, and Ryze arrives alone at the far end of the map.

When you play them

    what you type

    get in portal

    in full english

    Get in the portal.

    the context

    "get in": step inside, physically. The circle only takes those standing in it when the two second channel ends. An ally one step from the edge stays behind, and the team arrives as four.

    porting bot come

    in full english

    I'm porting bot, come.

    the context

    "porting" is short for teleporting, and "bot" gives the destination. Up to 3000 units, enough to reach a drake or a fight the team thought was lost, provided they are in the circle.

When an ally plays them

    what you type

    wait ryze portal

    in full english

    Wait for Ryze's portal.

    the context

    The call from an ally who has understood the plan: do not run to the objective, wait for the portal that takes everyone there at once. Two seconds of patience against thirty seconds of walking.

When an enemy plays them

  1. team chat

    what you type

    ryze ult care they come together

    in full english

    Ryze has his ultimate, careful, they arrive together.

    the context

    Ryze's portal moves his whole team 3000 units in two seconds. An enemy team with Ryze's ultimate is never as far as it looks: count it before every objective.
