Who Wins
- Pre-6 you dominate trades with Q-E combo in ranged form and can all-in with melee form if Ryze is low.
- Post-6 you maintain 1v1 advantage through superior burst damage and ability to disengage with E knockback when he tries to sustain trade.
How to Trade
- Poke with Q-E in ranged form when Ryze goes for CS, then switch to melee form for all-in if he's below 60% health.
- Use E in melee form to knock him away if he tries to E-W root you during extended trades.
Wave Control
- Maintain aggressive positioning to zone Ryze from CS and look to freeze waves near your tower where you can run him down.
- Push only when you want to roam as your superior early game power should be used to create map pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your Q-E combo on minions when Ryze is in lane as this removes your primary trading tool.
- Avoid staying in melee form too long against his E-W-Q combo as he can out-sustain you in extended fights if you don't have cooldowns.
