What actually is good against Ryze is crowd control.

I suggest taking Malzahar because he can silence anr suppress Ryze, making him a non-threat. However, from my experience, Malzahar can only really combat Ryze with his suppression. Otherwise he is yet another champion that Ryze can 1x1.

Ryze can take a QSS, but its only upgrade is a very cost inneficient item on him. Ryze will probably have to sell it later.

Other champions that could, in theory, deal with him, are Syndra and Lux. Because they can outrange and CC him. However I haven't seen those matchups in action.

In general though, when against a Ryze, you want to have as much CC as possible, because that is his biggest weakness now that he can't build tanky like before.
