A pure AP build works on Ryze, in terms of doing *damage*, but the problem is... have you looked at Ryze's range? He's the shortest range mage in the game. Further, all his spells are fairly weak individually, as they're pretty much single target. So, if you build him squishy, you're absolutely worthless.

It comes down to... do these items work? Sure. Are they the optimal build? Fuck no.
