Ahri is a good matchup for Ryze, I don't know where you get the idea that he loses to her. She lets him free farm, and he has good tanky scaling as well as a snare to mess her up. You're only going to die to Ahri if you overextend while she has blue buff before you get a Banshees Veil.

Leblanc and Xerath yeah. Those matchups definitely suck for him. Cassio still also shits on him as well. Karthus also has the tools to beat Ryze in lane handily, and also Ryze lets Karthus free farm anyway, which isn't funny business. Dunno why people consider him OP when he has a pretty weak laning phase.
