Playing against Ryze

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Ryze is weak in the early game (pre-6) and has short range — punish him with long-range champions.

2

His R is a visible channel: interrupt it with CC or position on it to fight on arrival.

3

Ryze needs to be at short range to combo — assassins and burst mages counter him well.

4

MR reduces all his damage, which is 100% magic.
