I'm not denying that Ryze is a potent duelist - late game Ryze is very scary and he is a good 1v1 fighter, but he's good at other things too and that makes him a little limited in 1v1 potential compared to mages that specialise in it like Malzahar. Ryze can teamfight far better than Malz can, for instance, which is one of the reasons why he's a higher-tier champion.
