Uh. I'm pretty sure Ryze for Top lane was a counterpick. You either counter picked with him or the people tasked with top lane don't have other top lane champs that shut Ryze down and even then. Late game can still happen and make Ryze really powerful.

That's sort of what the nerfs been about. Right now Ryze can buy a lot of free damage by just buying tanky items. Get yourself a farm lane and your good to go you don't even have to dominate.
