Even then, darius' pull is only 75 range short of your W, which makes it easy for him to grab you early. And once he does, you have no escape, and will melt to his damage pretty easily.

There are certain champions that will just crush ryze top. Darius, Jax, Irelia etc. Basically anyone who can close gaps easily, and then do a ton of burst damage.

That being said, there are also certain champions that ryze can crush in the top lane. Singed, Malphite, and kennen for example.
