So I'm 2/3 on my provisionals now.
I had a BSOD on my third provisional, pissed me off. Took 10 full minutes to get a stable boot just to find that they're already working on inhibitors.

Jungling is very satisfying; I just need to practice more. I find myself constantly being a level behind at times, but that's probably due to me having a tendency to kinda wander around aimlessly hoping for an opening for a gank, besides having the opportunity come to me as I jungle.
Is there any tips you guys can give me?
fuck, fuck, FUCK
i realized how much ive fucked myself by picking ryze to be my main goto champ
spent all my time learning him and gaining complete knowledge, only to find out:
1. when you get ganked mid/top at lvl 1-9 (before you recall) you're fucked unless you have flash
(meta is sapphire+2 hp pots, which is quite nice because i like to rush tear, no wards start game for me :c)
2. your cast range is bad, but not terrible.
3. full combo will not kill somebody, leaving you in a shithole with your opponent near you while all your spells are on cooldown, long enough for them to kill you
5. teamfights leave you with little to no kills if other teammates are fed as his massive damage combo is not quick enough to kill
6. no escape mechanic besides his snare, meaning you've dedicated yourself most of the time to a kill
7. usually the first to get focused in a teamfight as you are immobile while doing a long-ass combo
8. horrible early game farmer leading you to be out-CS'd 70% of your games
9. cannot hold his own by himself in max level fights
don't get me wrong, ryze is strong as shit. 1/2 hp gragas looking for your ass while you have 90 hp? finds you in a bush and you burst him down as fast as you can w/o losing health while killing him.
but, the things i've listed above are things i cannot get around. i can go back early game, get tear + 2 wards and ward mid, but then i'd be even more out-CS'd early game.
are there strats to get around these things? guides tell you how to play him, but not how to compensate for his cons. i get really damn frustrated when im last in a teamfight, only for the enemy team to pounce on me 3v1 while they have such low hp, only because ryze is very immobile escaping. people keep telling me: don't play ryze, he's shit because of nerfs. i just want to give him one last chance before abandoning him for ahri or malzahar, and maybe rework my playstyle instead of following this shitty 'meta' for him.
easy to learn, they said
difficult to master, they said
they never mentioned going balls deep
for the love of god do not stand in a bush in a lane unless you are 100% positive you will get a kill out of it. for every second you spend in a bush waiting like an idiot, you're losing xp and you're giving their jungler a chance to just go rape your unattended lanes.

by a level behind do you mean compared to your lanes or compared to the other team's jungler? because it's completely normal to be lower level than your lanes unless you man mode carry from really early on.

assuming this isn't late game...
even if you have max cdr, those few seconds before your next overload can fuck you over
edit: his passive. ik. after your spells are all used? enough time to be stunned/slowed
edit 2: if you want my general build, it is: roa, frozen heart, seraph's, sorcerer's (homeguard)
then from there i start building if i need cc/peel or need to shred tanks
well yeah no shit that's why you don't immediately all in

you're not supposed to follow the meta that much
besides, that isnt even "the" meta. a lot of people like going with flask + 3 pots or mp5 pendant + 2 wards + pots, or something like that. its all up to you.
also, you're not fucked if you get ganked. there's such things as not pushing when you dont have wards and the jungler is mia

of course your full combo is not gonna kill anyone, that's why you're supposed to combo correctly and make use of your passive and low CDs

dont commit unless you're sure you're not getting ganked anytime soon

ryze gets tanky as shit, if you're being focused first then your team is probably gonna do tons of damage before you actually die

almost all early gamers will have to auto attack minions rather than use spells, and ryze is no different

@ no. 9
i should have been more specific:
a skirmish of 1v2 with both of the champs semi-fed
otherwise, thanks for clarification
also, excuse me if any of this sounds dumb, but im still grasping the more advanced ropes of lol, and it's a lot to take in. i'd like clarification more than 'don't fucking do that'
god their lanes are weird

Do you get less xp if you're standing in a brush?
[QUOTE=Spacewolf;42518115]Do you get less xp if you're standing in a brush?[/QUOTE]
Any time you spend waiting in a bush is time you're not killing things for xp. So not DIRECTLY, no. But if you sit in my bush for 15 seconds waiting for me to overextend, I'm going to keep baiting you so you stay in the bush and be useless.

only 9LP per win but i'm slowly climbing
Me and a few pals just had a great freaking time in 5v5. Only aoe-CC/damage champs. Anivia, Orianna, Amumu, Tresh and Corki. Didn't lose a single teamfight :p

Okay well I play support so I'm not missing anything by staying in there as opposed to running around the lane not killing minions.

no. in that case you probably SHOULD be in the bush (and not killing minions) because any unseen pressure is scary pressure
i'm sure there are weird support exceptions like zyra but she sucks so w/e

this code seems to be multi-use, me and three other people got blitzcrank + riot blitzcrank skin from it. i'm on oceania if that matters? anyway it might still work, give it a try.
Used on EUW (but not by me) (again)
Tried it on Oceania and it worked, lol thanks

it's completely normal to be 4 or 5 levels behind by the time your solo laners hit 18 depending on how much attention you gave them, the whole point of actually having a jungler in the current meta is to sacrifice a champion who doesn't really need much gold to scale well instead of having a duo top or mid or triple bot so that the rest of your team gets way more gold and exp, and it also gives map pressure forcing people to buy wards (if the opponent does not have a jungler then do an elixir level 2 cheese, you're not getting ganked) remember your jungle timings and write them down in chat (press z to view extended chat)
If you can't gank, look on the map for their jungler, when he appears, gank him if he's nearby (ONLY IF YOU WILL GET THERE IN TIME, time is precious) or if not then counterjungle him (when you counterjungle leave a low bounty minion alive, this prevents their camp from respawning until they clear the camp and they only get 6 gold and like 3 exp from it)
When teammates go back to base hold or push their lane because it's worth way more than jungling (only push if you will push the wave into the tower, the waves will balance out by the time your laner arrives again (tell him to take wolves or something), and nobody will be there to farm it so the enemy lose exp and gold) as a rule of thumb always push the lane as hard as you can until minions are being hit by the tower after you gank successfully, push no matter how hard your laner pings you to "stop pushing omg"
It is NOT your responsibility to give your mid laner every blue buff no matter what they say, it is YOUR jungle, YOUR exp and YOUR gold, giving it to your mid though means they can put more pressure on the map and push harder so it's not just all on your back
