Ryze has a terrible early game, the only advantage he has on Evelynn is range. Later, once you can combo DFG + R on Ryze, he will have Banshee's Veil and whatnot. Since your combo does only about 1/3 or 2/5 of his HP, His QEQWQ before you even walk up to him will take out about 2/3 or 3/4 of your HP, even with the shield. Then he can activate his ult for SpellVamp and some MS.

You cannot just press W to escape Rune Prison, you cannot beat him in lane, you cannot poke him in lane, he scales just as much as you do, he doesn't have to ult for tankiness, his CDs are smaller, but he can't really chase you around. If that Ryze is worth anything, he should DEMOLISH your lane and make late game very difficult. Impossible? Not by a long shot. Worse than facing Ahri? You bet.
