From the first generation champion associated with Faker
Perhaps those who have followed Faker since the old days are no longer unfamiliar with Ryze – a champion that seems to have a skill set that is very difficult to affect in combat but becomes extremely dangerous in Faker's hands. Even after Faker used the champion Ryze, this name was put on Riot's “nerf” list many times. So much so that after some rare comebacks, Ryze almost disappeared from the professional arena. However, Ryze is still a champion chosen quite a lot in solo rank thanks to his extremely good control and damage shock skill set.

Ryze is the first champion of League of Legends.
However, Faker himself, who plays more on the make-play side, rarely touches Ryze except in special matches or when conditions permit. It is worth mentioning that recently, Ryze has been buffed and according to statistics from the League of Legends community, this is only the 4th time in League of Legends history since this champion was released that Ryze has been buffed. In the previous times, this champion was not mentioned at all or only had some stats slightly reduced. This is quite a special factor for a champion associated with Faker's brand and is also one of the ancient symbols of the League of Legends community.

The community is also surprised by Faker's “favorite child”
The League of Legends community was also surprised because no one thought Ryze would be buffed so rarely. However, it must be said that Ryze is one of the champions considered “out of meta”. This concept refers to champions whose skill sets are both suitable for all strategies and can also be unusable for any gameplay. Because, no matter how you edit them, the skill system of these champions is fixed. Unless a rework completely wipes out and starts over, there is no way to affect the skill set of these champions. The names “in the same situation” as Ryze on this list include Lee Sin and Thresh.

The audience was also surprised.
– “Buffing Ryze? I'm not complaining, just surprised”
– “CKTG is coming. Lee Sin will be buffed in the next patch, it's normal because it happens every year”
However, even with the buff, it may take some time for Ryze to return to the professional arena. However, in the future, if there is a chance, Faker may use the champion that has been associated with his brand in the early stages of his great LoL career.
