What is the issue with Ryze?

I was checking lolking and Ryze has the current lowest winrate and the 2nd highest ban rate? I know he has stupid lockdown ability spam and he's a lategame powerhouse, but he has alot of problems in lane and trying to get there.

Un-healthy toxic champion. It's not fun to play against him.

And freakin powerfull if used properly. Yeah, it's damn hard to do so, but people don't want to risk that Ryze they are facing is going to have a good game.

Because Faker showed how powerful Ryze is and now everybody is playing it.

I'm just not sold on Ryze being worse than any of the juggernauts, fiora, riven, gp, illaoi, or poppy in comparison to be banned though, seems like he can be countered with Cleanse and kiting.

He's not. It's just that come lategame he can permanently snare an individual until they're dead, which is pretty terrible design. Otherwise, I've never really had too much of a problem with him when I do see him. He's typically not picked as it is and a Marksman that can kite can stay well out of his range outside of him Flashing to get to them. Even then, Mercurial will allow them to resume kiting.

So what they could do instead of demolishing him is make the root have diminishing returns and also lower it to be a flat 1 second or something. Honestly riots balancing team seems to not know how to fix something. They are so many other possibilities to fixing him or at least making it not as bad facing him.
