Looks a bit underpowered to me. His Q can now be blocked by minions in lane, tanks in teamfights or even miss, he lost scaling and is now inhibited in his item choice as any CDR beyond 10% is wasted (and indirectly his masteries as well, unless you want to relinquish CDR completly). Compared to other linear skillshots, Ryze Q has a measly range and projectile speed.

Of cause, he now seems to be even more of a machine gunner than before, with 0.25 seconds max. CD for the spells of his chain, and 2 or 1.2 (depending on CDR) time between each 13-shots spell alteration.

One magic math trick they did that really rocks is that Ryze actually has 0 need for CDR in his kit - the only difference you'll ever feel are those 0.8 seconds mentioned above and the regular CDR difference when not being in passive - but there it should hardly matter.
