How to play it

✓

Save Q for his root

Hold your Q until his Rune Prison (W) roots you: pop it while rooted and you continue the fight after instead of dying inside it.

✓

Just farm

Farm as well as you can: Ryze is very hard to kill unless he misplays, so don't force a lane that isn't there.

✓

He kites your daggers

A Stormraider's Surge Ryze simply runs out of your daggers, so AP Kat can't close on him in the side lane.

✕

Never waste your Q before he roots you: with no Q saved, his Rune Prison just locks you down and you die inside it.
