How to play it

Respect Rune Prison
His W root locks you for his EWQ combo: don't step up into it, and check for Stormraider's Surge before you all-in.
Post-6 kill pressure
After 6 your ult secures kills: before that, just deny him a free scale.
Punish the overstep
If he EQs the wave but oversteps, W-E in for a quick trade before he can EWQ back and run.
Never let Ryze poke you for free: his autos and short-cooldown spells stack up and let him scale unpunished.
