Imho, current Malzahar would do pretty good against him, maybe even just straight overpower him; his E and Q do a LOT of damage (especially E, maybe Rito needs to check that) with Q having the benefit of also silencing (and for quite a long time). W deals a % of enemy's HP (and Ryze builds RoA and maybe some other items with HP-like Rylais) and last but far from being the least, your ultimate. They say that Ryze probably beats everyone 1v1 when passive procs together with ult but same goes for Malz whenever his ult is off cd.

Then again, vs Faker it probably wouldn't have the expected results. But against other players Ryzes... try it.
