Yo can we talk about how awesome 
is, he practically made top lane mages a thing. The damage this guy does is crazy , most of you guys reading this would probably think i'm joking. To those that are new and never played , he's definitely someone you should try out at least once.
Once upon a time, a Rioter wondered how he could combine BDSM and Magic together. That day, Ryze was conceived.
If he's against a melee in lane, it's perfectly viable to level his E. If they get stuck in minions / approach minions, just E them and watch as they implode. I've seen 1/3 to half of someone's health from a well timed E. Thunderlord's is just icing on the cake.
in all honesty I think hes the most OP champion in the game - I am glad he is not player more.
