The champions like Annie, LB, and Xerath get stomped by Ryze because he can do the same amount of damage (probably even more) as them and but hes more tanky.

The champions that can counter Ryze are champions that can Farm from a distance like stay away from him.

A counter to Ryze is to not die and push him to tower cause he can't clear the ways fast enough and has to expend mana to last hit leaving him running out of mana. Cassiopeia, Anivia, Orianna is ok, Zilean, and probably Swain is Ok. But, if you get killed by Ryze, even though you have a counter he can snowball hard.

Just try to Outcs and harrass a lot.
