I agree with everything above, Ryze is my main now but I have been playing Veigar and Annie excessively before trying out this champ.

They all share their immense damage output of course, and all got their strenghts and weaknesses but overall I found Ryze to be the most suited for me because of these reasons:

- I like his "Assasin"-edge he got in early/mid game. It is very easy to solo-kill almost any champion in another lane very quickly with your nuke, making you a very flexible and fast assistance for your mid lane. Other nukers can do that too of course, but I always found Ryze to be the best one from this point of view as your whole nuke comes off cooldown immensly fast, getting back to your own lane fully charged in most cases.

- As his Q stacks with Mana, some "standard" items that you will get in most games such as RoA, Banshee Veil, Frozen Heart and of course the Archangel give him a huge additional advantage.

- No need for CR reduction items at all due to the passive, get yourself the golem buff if you want to but anything above that is unnecessary to be at your full strenght in almost any situation.

- Exquisite laning harassment with Spell Flux, other casters got great abilities as well but I always found this one to be the most annoying due to it´s low CR, damage and bounciness :P

Overall a very, very strong champ that I would recommend to anyone who are having their fun with Annie, Veigar or Malzahar.
