Ryze is generally played as Mid. The first objective is to wave under control, avoid all-ins; back on tear/crystal. Its biggest edge comes from powerful scaling via mana (seraph/roa) and e→q-supported dps.
Ryze takes over in mid game: synchronized roams level 5/9; punish burnt-out flashes at the w.
Ryze can be punished when vulnerable to burst assassins before stasis enchant. A practical answer listed here is: set deep vision before using R; don't teleport blindly.
