Even a simple silence will prevent him from casting, removing both his damage and his sustain.

I'm new to Ryze, but don't like to first-pick him because he's countered by common choices, e.g. Cassiopeia.

Would anyone mind giving a list of particularly good (and, perhaps, particularly bad) matchups?

I don't expect anything comprehensive. In the interest of brevity, let's focus on lanes that are both
a) rather hard to beat in general
b) rather easy to beat with Ryze

An example: Ahri is strong against many common mid picks. I noticed that I did well Ryze vs Ahri. Start with boots; Q her when she misses her own Q/W, and your W prevents her from dashing in and out with her ult.

Any other examples?
Is he a good choice against the generally un-counterable Kennen?

I'm thinking of mid lane, but if people still pick him for top, that works too. I'd theorycraft that he's good against Riven and Rumble, but haven't tried.


(Note to self: Ryze vs Olaf is not fun. Not at all.)


Ryze loses against cass and can struggle against swain if he gets a small lead early. Aside from cass I don't know of any AP that shuts him down mid, although maybe some unplayed long range champs like xerath might be able to do so. I always ban cass so I feel free to first pick ryze whenever.

Ryze destroys vlad, although you may struggle a little before tear just because your mana pool is not enough to kill him through 3 health pots and Q sustain. Kennen is generally weak to champions with direct target spells and high burst; I've found ryze and annie to be the two best counters to him. Kennen also can't really beat an AP in lane unless he is able to 100-0 someone with his ult, which banshee veil prevents. Same goes for ahri, although ahri can farm/push at such a long range that it will probably be hard to deny her without getting ganked. I believe ryze is a good counterpick to rammus because ramm can't initiate with powerball if you just rune prison him.

Although he isn't played so much anymore, Zilean does very well versus Ryze because of the large range differential in their Qs.


You're thinking of Annie. Overload range is only 25 less than Bomb, you can't reliably land it without retaliation.

Silences or just all around stun-locks are your best bet against Ryze. He will die very quickly if focused while he isn't casting spells (unless he went Rod/Warmogs). Ignite is very important to use on him when he is casting, especially when he uses ultimate.

Ryze is also slow, low range, has no repositioning skill and needs vision of his target to cast spells. Big displacement spells like Janna, Gragas and Tristana ultimates cause him a lot of grief, as does Graves' smokescreen.

Countering him in lane will also weaken him significantly. Cassiopeia, Xerath, LeBlanc and Middlesticks all take a dump on him.

why doesn't ryze get much play as solo top? He wrecks melee champs, and can just sit in lane and farm to become ridiculous.

I've seen several pro teams run Ryze solo top. I think he doesn't get run more because he does pretty well mid and Swain, Vladimir, and Kennen are all stronger solo tops if you wanted to run a double AP set up.

the no escape thing hurts pretty bad top in my experiences with it. some dude with a gap closer can just cc you for days and blow you up before you can get to safety when you end up on his side of the lane.

I haven't played against cassopiea enough to know my limitations against her, why is she such a good counter?
Xerath would be becasue of his range, but he's not often played.
I've played a few leblanc's, and if you can play safe early, you outscale him, he has crazy burst, but in my experience the logner the game goes the better the matchup beomes for you


I usually build ryze tankier, i usually go tear into ROA, then its situational as to the game state whether i grab a negatron into banshee or armor into frozen heart.

I think it's the combination of superior range and pushing power... it feels like Cassio can do whatever she wants and Ryze can't do anything back.

Cassiopeia outranges Ryze, so he has a hard time even approaching her. She can push the lane easily, causing him trouble CSing early. Rune Prison is completely useless against her, she will keep combo'ing you while rooted. Ryze has to be relatively immobile while casting spells, giving Cassiopeia a chance to land her Q, and once she does that she outdamages Ryze by a country mile, it isn't even close. Her ultimate is very very strong 1v1 and 1v2, meaning that even with jungler help you'll have trouble in the lane.

Most importantly, Cass is just as amazing late game as Ryze is, so it's not like he'll outscale her in the same way he does LeBlanc, or Xerath to a degree.

The LeBlanc lane can be survived, barely. I have a pure MR page I use only in that match-up.

After having a chance to counterpick Ryze with Cass yesterday, I think it's very obvious and easy to exploit if you try it yourself.

Pretty much every weakness of Ryze is exploited by Cass in lane, and Cass has no weakness that Ryze could exploit there.

- Ryze cannot cast any spell without allowing Cass to hit him with her Q. Ryze stands still when he casts, which makes it trivial for Cass to hit with a Q (then EEEE).
This is the single biggest reason Cass dominates Ryze in lane. If you try to harrass, she'll land every spell and outdamage you easily, since her Q/E cooldowns are really low.
If you try to last hit with spells, she'll poke you with a Q and you can't do anything about it.

- Starting at level 1, Cass pushes the lane faster than Ryze, and more mana-efficiently than Ryze. Until 6, Ryze can't do anything about this and will lose cs to tower if Cass wants him to.
For the same reason, Ryze can't afford to harrass Cass, he runs out of mana too fast and then can't farm. While you're OOM trying to last hit under tower, Cass can roam and gank lanes.

- Ryze cannot kite Cass at all. Rune prison range isn't enough to avoid being hit by Q while snared.

- Cass can kite Ryze all day long. W to slow him, or even better, Q in his path and you're faster than Ryze. If Ryze tries to chase you, he can't catch up: Q gives you a movement speed buff, plus it's delayed, so you can damage him from outside rune prison range (while still outrunning him).


Edit: I also played Ryze vs LB yesterday. The LB was playing badly and still made laning a terror, but it was much easier for me than Ryze vs Cass. If you can play it safe vs LB at the cost of CS, you won the lane. If you do the same against Cass, you lost the lane (IMO).

Post-6 it's even worse, especially if she gets revolver/wota. If you ever W her 1v1 you're in range for her R>Q>E>W>E + ignite and straight up 100-0 you. If she has 2+ points in E, a single Q landing on you means half your health bar gone, and again if you turn around to W she will ult and kill you. Even if you miraculously stay close in cs and not die in lane (a feat in itself), she would shove your lane and roam much more easily.

Your only hope is to W her in place for a jungle gank and turn your back to her ult, then hope you can 2v1 her. And if they countergank you're just screwed.

I don't know how other Ryze players handle it, but I feel you almost have to run MR blues and MS quints, rush negatron, and tell your jungle you NEED pressure early. Cassio is the hardest counter for him I can think of, and I always pick Cassio if they pick Ryze.

Totally agree. Like others suggested, I now always ban Cass if I first-pick Ryze, and if I'm second pick and don't know their mid, an Cass isn't banned, I won't pick Ryze.

With LB, even if a little fed she's not that threatening in late-game fights compared to Ryze. This is not at all true of Cass.

Just got manhandled by a Galio as Ryze. Didn't help that their Twitch killed me at level 2 >.< How do you guys lane vs Galio? If Ryze gets countered, what would you lane vs a Galio instead?

Oh, no, I've got counterpicked mid, what do I do?

Roam, roam, roam to bot, gently down the stream.


Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, take dragon for free.


If you're unable to do anything to your opponent in lane it doesn't mean you're useless. Try to give other lanes an advantage where yours would mean nothing because GALIO NEVER EVER TAKES DAMAGE FROM ANYTHING LOL.

Galio mid gets manhandled by any sort of AD mid if you're looking to counterpick, though.

If you get ganked and killed level 2 it doesn't really matter who you are laning against lol. Galio doesn't counter Ryze, he can outpush you early on but so can a lot of champions. Once you get blue it just becomes a farmfest, you can't kill him, he can't kill you.

Wat, how is that gonna work? Galio pushes way harder than Ryze, unless Galio is brainafk you're never gonna get free ganks bot. Also Galio with ult is a way better earlygame bottom ganker than Ryze, the last thing you wanna do is provoke some sort of fight.

against a galio, there's no way you can push out hard enough to be able to roam without just losing your tower. Strong pushers can get away with that crap because there's limited threat to their tower, ryze is not a strong pusher. So, if you just peace from mid, it's actually really easy for galio to either follow you down bot, or just take your tower.

He's not going to one-shot the wave until like 8-10. Yeah, you can't just abandon your lane completely and throw one barrel to clear the lane every so often like Gragas, but you're not going to lose mid tower for roaming 2-4 times from levels 4-10 unless he brings his jungler to kill it with him, in which case you can dive bot and get two kills and take THAT tower.

Again, unless he is retarded he can just follow you down bot and then you're fucked when you get counterganked by a surprise flash Galio ult. Also, Ryze has to be onr of the worst botgankers in the game, because his ult doesn't give him giant burst damage, unlike almost every other AP.

In the situation of Ryze against galio, you probably want to swap lanes with your toplaner. If you have someone like udyr/ww/yorick/nasus top, they can completely shit on galio and otherwise they can trade farm at the least.

Ryze should avoid laning agaist Galio as much as possible, because Galio is as tanky as Ryze and does a ton more damage earlygame.
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.

He has a targeted ranged disable, and even though its range isn't the greatest in the world, if it lands it's almost a guaranteed kill unless they have imba Soraka heals. He can gank bot just fine.

Obviously Galio has something he can do about anything Ryze can do, that's why he's the go-to counterpick for Ryze. When you get counterpicked, you either outplay your opponent or you're behind. You can't sit in lane against him and expect to get ahead. I'm not saying you can easily beat Galio with Ryze, I'm saying you need to try to make plays so you aren't worthless for the majority of the game.

How do you guys lane Ryze vs Veigar? I played a game where the jungler had it in for me, but even without that I'm not so sure how I should've beaten him. I'm 1600~ elo, Veigar was 1800.
