Your grav shield is what makes the matchup so hard on ryze and any other short range mage. If they stay out of range of grav sheild you can poke them for free with E. If they attempt to engage you give them a EQaa + stun and then either walk away and let them eat minion agro or ult and kill them if they are low enough. If they attempt to flash over your grav shield you can either kill them outright or flash away if you feel truly threatened as you should have no reason to ever use your flash in such a matchup aside from a nasty jungle ganks.

IMO Viktor completely dominates Kat, Cassiopia, Ryze, Vlad, Kayle, Heimer, Panth, Teemo, Zilean, and pretty much all non-standard mids.

His toughest matchups are Xerath and Syndra, however he outscales both in terms of raw damage late game if he can survive early, and it's almost impossible to keep a viktor from farming, especially post 6.
