Tips Against Ryze in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

V222 says “Respect the first few levels since that's when he's the most threatening and can punish you if you get too aggressive. Once you hit level 3, you can pretty much look to combo and instantly back off whenever you get the chance since you outrange him and don't need to take extended trades. After level 6, if you're looking for an all-in, make sure to ult his E every time if possible. If you don't, he can root you during the fight and make your combo a lot harder to execute. ”
L0ganJG says “Ryze will ALWAYS be poking you. Use this fact and a way to catch him without a cooldown or 2. Then punish hard. Try to W1 to dodge his Q on engage for max value. Short trade into ultimate is very good and build BotRK to really win hard. Short trade to chunk and all in with ignite. D shield Second Wind enjoying ”
twin7zz says “Strong early game, just respect him. dont get too close to him, you can only kill him if he makes mistake or you get help from your jungler, at best you can go even and outscale him at 3 items LV16.”
Amothertruckingunicorn says “Your set up isn't that good into him, he can out roam you, and his trading is quite good into you. Arcane comet, base d ring or d helm on when your team wants to fight.”

star zall says “Heavy lane push prio, after 6 he can easily impact the map, with his ultimate, also his laning phase is very strong, and late game he scales a lot, with ROA Archangel Actualizer, careful in this matchup, try to ping where he might go, since he can get prio easily till you are lvl 7 or 9.”
szkibs says “Ryze quite easy lane your goals shloud be punishing him early not letting him get easy poke on you also dont use e before he roots you ”
Soul0fghost says “Very hard if you cant get push. He wins all trades, You can never kill him and outscales. Try to make roams and stack drakes”

ELODUNG says “Blokuj jeho spelly svým Q, pokud chceš, tak maxuj Q, je to lepší na tenhle matchup. Můžeš mu zrušit jeho R svým Q. Level 6+ tě nemá jak zabít. Runy: general/ first item: kapka nebo shield. Musíš se do late game dostat dřív než on, běž rodku a seraphs + další kapka item podle jejich týmu.”

V222 says “Don't E on him lv1 especially if he has boneplating. You want to poke away his boneplating but some ryze players go celerity+ms shard so you need to be really careful how you throw it and ideally Q him when he is going for CS if you want to play to kill him earlygame. If he doesnt have boneplating you still want him to use a spell before because he can deny you from proccing passive with his W and run you down with phaserush after and if he has E he has a very low CD so he will likely get 2 E's off and outtrade you like that. Bait it out, then jump on him after he uses it. Lv2 he has the option to go E+W so you can't combo him unless he uses his E on the wave so make sure to be in position to pounce if he does. You will still be able to proc your passive if you hit your combo but he will outtrade you because of his short E cd and autos. So this is only worth it if you can immediatly punish and combo again when it's off CD but you usually have to take this risk to make the matchup volatile. The reason for this is that you pretty much only win on first and second reset so you want to make both of you base for 400g as your dring+darkseal spike is still a bit stronger than his tear and you really don't want him to get ruby crystals. After he gets even 1 ruby crystal and lv5 he will completely statcheck you and you won't have enough damage to kill him 1v1 for a very very long time while he can outroam and outpush you so only trade with him for lane control and denying CS and ONLY if you have your W up or he wastes his CDs on the way in a stupid way. Don't ever jump on ryze if he has all his spells up especially in a long lane because he can reset his Q with every spell and just run you down with his passive ms root phaserush and sometimes even ghost. In general you don't want to stay in your wave too much otherwise Ryze can splash his E on you and Q the wave. Since you still have to line up with the wave to Q it you need to move away from it and try to E out of the splash range for his Q even if he already marked you with his E or time your W in a way where you can avoid his Q damage. Whenever Ryze goes in fog you want to ping your team in advance as his roams are very potent with his ult. Eventhough it is not worth to trade with ryze for the 1v1, you can sometimes try to keep him in lane by trading with him and try to make both of you useless to influence the play eventhough you will lose the trade and need to be careful of his ganksetup with his W. It's possible to buffer his root with your E2 but it relies way more on prediction than other CCs because of how instant it is. When you have DnD you can play for short trades with him as long as you have your W shield and know where the enemy jungler is. Once he has 2 items he is at his strongest point and even if you have a lead you will likely not win sidelane 1v1s through his seraphs shield. Ryze is pretty vulnerable to your W in sidelane from fog but he can always just ult away unless your team has strong CC to lock him down. Be careful about his CC+burst in teamfights especially if he has his actualiser spike and never go in first. Ryze main weakness is that he is usually outranged in teamfights so play with your team if you have a range advantage. You scale fine into this matchup but much like Kassadin you don't win vs him individually and it heavily depends on what the teamcomps are so don't get too desperate even if you fail to get an early lead. As long as you stay in the game with good farm you can still kill Ryze if he gets low because his high health means you do a lot of damage with W and DnD. You can follow Ryze ult with perfect E2 timing but it is too hard to actually execute in a real game.”
