Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Ryze's superior range and your inability to effectively trade through minions without taking significant E-Q poke damage.
- Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R can interrupt his combos and your burst damage can 100-0 him before he can sustain through the fight.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is waiting for him to use abilities on minions, then E-Q-W-Q combo while his cooldowns are down and immediately retreat.
- Look for opportunities when he steps up for last hits, as your E dash range can catch him if he's not positioned behind minions.
Wave Control
- Let him push early levels and focus on farming safely under tower, using Q on minions to maintain element charges for potential trades.
- After level 6, look to shove and roam since you have much stronger skirmishing power in river fights and jungle encounters.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to trade in open lane where he can kite you with his passive movement speed and superior range advantage.
- Avoid fighting without proper element setup, as your damage is significantly reduced without the right Q empowerment for the situation.
