What are Ryze's weaknesses?

Is he immobile? Definitely not, since he has a movement speed buff, generally runs stormraider's and Ghost. Is he squishy? No really, he has a built in shield, builds archangel's staff and can sometimes build tanky. Does he use all his damage at once? No, he has a cooldown resets on his main damage spell. Does he do little damage over time? Nope, sadly, he does burst damage over time. EQ can do up to 1000 damage before magic resist and he can use it over and over again. Lemme guess, mana problems...right? They're there...but just not as much as other mages pre-tear. Oh then he gets pushed in early! Only by some champions, most mids can't beat his wave clear until later in lane.

So what are Ryze's weaknesses?

he does burst damage over time.

"Burst damage over time" is redundant ... and incorrect.

"Damage over time" is described in two ways, "Burst" or "Sustained"

Ryze deals sustained damage.

Any kind of cc or being outnumbered or outranged.

His spells work of each other, so he can't 1v2 effectively. As a consequence he is a poor teamfighter.

he has what people refer to as anniedrome which is an immobile mage with short ranged abilities the only difference is he is combo reliant to do his burst

His weakness is his early game. He goes OOM really fast and has almost no dmg until e is maxed.

Fight him early, you will outtrade him until he is OOM. All in pre 6. Snowball team gg
