ryze out ranges your q and the fact that your passive builds hp and ap out of your hp and ap is a bit scary for a ryze. the best thing a ryze can do is poke harass because he out ranges you. with vlad your abilities take a portion out out of your hp and with ryze having native spellvamp with his ult he could out sustain you with the RoA. the best thing i can think of for a vlad to do against ryze is build mr and ap the ap gives you hp because of your passive so you get tanky and your q will heal you more with the higher ap. mr is a must against ryze but if he builds a void staff and a will of the ancients you might have problems. basically it could end up skill vs skill so make sure your under your tower and try to always have your w up to escape the rune prison i think it still snares you but he cant target you while your in your pool of blood
