His root isnt instant anymore because you need to EQ now (projectile flying + 2 casts), which is good. It was problematic. On top of it, his range isnt really great. Lategame every ADC has RFC and kills Ryze with 2 crits, since his current version lost every bit of survivability he had.

His aoe isnt great either. If your team consists of people with just a half working brain, you would just spread a bit and negate his aoe. The spreadrange isnt that good and its even bugged. Sometimes your Q doesnt go to other fluxed targets.

And his early game isnt bad, its non-existent. His first real powerspike comes with lvl11 which is incredibly late and even than its not even that good. Sadly most games doesnt last to lvl16 where current Ryze is decent, if you can stay alive. But thats the problem, he mostly doesnt. He has no tools for it anymore.
