Ryze Counters

The best picks not in lane to counter Ryze include Zeri, Ezreal, and Kai'Sa. These are all great at countering Ryze with decent win rates over 59%. Even if these Ryze counter picks are not picked opposite your position, it's not smart to play him into one of these matchups. They will very likely destroy Ryze.

Conversely, if the other team choses either Teemo or Brand, you should seriously consider selecting him, as he easily beats these champs with win rates over 54% against each ofthem.

Exploit Ryze�s early game weakness: Ryze is not potent in the early stages of the game, especially against champions with hard crowd control abilities (CC). This is the right time to play aggressively and keep him under pressure.

Be aware of Ryze�s item reliance: Ryze doesn't deal substantial damage without the necessary items. If set behind during the early or mid-game, his damage potential falls drastically. Try to deny him as much gold and XP as possible.

Utilize Ryze�s Ultimate R to your advantage: Ryze can accidentally "outplay himself" with his Ultimate R, which repositions him and his allies. Capitalize on this by ensuring proper vision setup so he can't escape or trick your team.

Watch out for Ryze's crowd control: Ryze�s W ability allows him to set up plays for both himself and his team. Avoid getting caught by his CC, as it can lead to swift elimination from the game.

Monitor Ryze�s farming progress: Ryze�s power comes from farming and gaining XP. It helps him sustain in the later stages of the game, so try to limit his farming as much as possible, to keep Ryze at bay.

Beware of Ryze's late game power: Ryze becomes incredibly strong in the late game with a lot of burst damage. Try to end the game quickly or maintain an advantage before he reaches this phase.

Take advantage when Ryze isolates himself: If Ryze strays from his team, seize this chance to eliminate him. Remember, he's most vulnerable when he's alone, so coordinate with your team for a quick takedown.
