As far as I can tell, they want to keep the idea of him being a dps mage who fires off abilities like a machine gun late-game. They also want to keep the on-click snare, and I imagine the way his other abilities work won't be changed much either.

Recently they are really pushing the boat out with changes, Poppy has some crazy abilities with her W and R, Shen's update yesterday had some really cool stuff like the aoe dodge zone and moving around his twilight shadow thing.

For Ryze I expect the core of the change to be focused on his passive and ultimate, hopefully something that allows him to really chuck out spells, but also something not horrible to play against, like the permasnare or ridiculous laning phase his previous iterations have had.
