I disagree that his CC is weak, its very strong considering his Prison is ranged + Auto Target. His Ult is shit, agree with you on that.

Personally I think the problem with Ryze is his ultra item dependance. He only becomes what he is, aka. sustained magic dps when he gets enough cdr + mana. Before that hes just a very shitty generic mage. I think the problem could be fixed by giving him some of his spamyness early on and hence allow him to actually fufil his role before popping any big items. Perhaps drastic mana cost reduction on the first 2 ranks of his skills, coupled with lower base damage and better scaling might work.
