How to Play with Gragas as Ryze in LoL

Overall, Ryze sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gragas. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

When Ryze tries to synergize with Gragas, he observes a little drop in his complete damage output. This change could demonstrate that Gragas does not provide protection for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Ryze is played alongside Gragas on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Gragas. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Gragas.

Additionally, when Ryze plays with Gragas on the same side, he often receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Gragas does a poor job of covering Ryze during teamfights.

Is Ryze better when played alongside Gragas?

There is no one best ally for Ryze that will 100% of the time be his top synergy. However, Gragas is a very bad companion for Ryze. By playing on the same team as Ryze, he decreases their win rate by -7.0% to 42.0%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad bond between Ryze and Gragas that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Gragas has a lower difficulty than Ryze. That means you don't need to be careful when enlisting Gragas comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working on the same side, Ryze players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.

Although, by grouping Ryze and Gragas together, you may not be granting your other allies much AD. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Gragas ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
