He counters quite a lot of people fyi.

A 1.75 clicklock snare with no cast time or projectile speed means those Ahri's and Akali's aren't going anywhere. Anyone who's a melee or who relies on dashes are shut down.

And all those bruiser mids like Jarvan, Lee Sin and Pantheon who've been showing up? Ryze obliterates them. Not only is that snare there to stop them doing anything before they're down to 1/3rd life, he builds the tankiest out of any mage, easilly getting over 200 armor by late game and that's in his max damage build.
