RoA is ... actually kinda bad on Ryze, yeah. If the enemy team doesn't have a significant amount of MR, then the MPen from red runes + offense mastery is fine. HOWEVER... this tends to rarely be the case. Ryze's core is tear, Frozen Heart, Banshee's Veil. So, in your last two item slots... WotA is amazing on Ryze. Void Staff is very likely needed. RoA is not better than either of these... But if they don't have much MR? Then you can get away with a RoA.
