Well, I won vs. the Ryzes I got matched up, but especially in the early game I really felt simply outpowered, and that for the most matchups. His Q mainly scaling with level forces him to level his E first, which is everytime you fire it, an all in. After you fire it, almost every champion can trade the damage back and even outtrade you thanks to the huge CD (just take like any champion with a 4 second Q, Annie, Syndra, Ryze). Thanks to a flask start I kinda can buffer the time till Viktor becomes a treat.

Also I have to say that Xerath and Ziggs aren't as worse as they're for usual for a mid-ranged mage without mobility. These laners are so highly skillshot related that there is no need for you to stay on range - you can go toe-to-toe, onto a distance where your E becomes an auto-hit. If you can do that you simply outtrade them, even if they hit their skills, which are still fairly easy to dodge, especially with upgraded Q.
