First of all..

Riot did not nerd his Q ratio, but buffed all his ratios greatly increasing his DPS.

Second

Riot barely nerfed his range (or 25 is a lot for you?), and gave him for this, MS buff what maked him stronger even more.

Thoes changes made him a little more demanding and stopped him from being a roflstop champ.

Since his AP ratios have been strongly buffed, most ppl started to use RoA insted of bunshies, and started to build more squishy and that's why his win rate went lover... Since if you build him ap (more squishy) you need to have mastered this champ and have great positioning, sadly most without this skill also build AP insted of sticking to the old one. The old mana tanky build is stronger then ever (but harder to use since you have the 25 range less on Q),

And because of it, Ryze is still a top tier Offline tournament pick (with high win rate there).

I doubt that Ryze will be nerfed, since right now his skill cap has increased (early laning), and because of it he became more balanced
