^ Bur Ryze HAS to. With the low range, in  teamfight all you can reach in a safe position (behind ur tank\second line) is probably their tank or they engager ; He needs tankyness because with the lack of range he needs to approach anc take somre risks to unload teh full combo ( wich will do, in every case AOE with his ulti). So basically u need tankyness to go in the enemy team, and leash your full ulti combo at least NEAR one of their carry, and be able to be still alive After 2 second; this way yopur full combo will probably heal urself up for some of the damage done. I'm not saying that ryze has to tank the teamfight - he has a complex positioning - but i'm saying that if you build squishy and just wait to unleash your combo, you will end staying behind yopr team and having every enemy out of range.
