The Muramana toggled ability makes Ryze an overpowered champion IMO. As simple as that. Late game, he becomes both a mega burster and a indefinitely-sustained damage champion, AND he has spell vamp.

Oh, and I nearly forgot about Iceborn Gauntlet and Mckeal's crucible. The first gives every stat he needs, plus some good defense, moar CC and some more AoE damage, the second one gives MOAR mana, MOAR defense, a passive that makes Maramana's even more OP by keeping his mana pool always filled (add blue buff that that...), and if it wasn't enough, a nice unique active that can save his ass in desperate situations.
