Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

There is no perfect ally for Ryze that will always be his #1 synergy. However, overall, Zilean is a very typical teammate for Ryze.

Zilean has a lower difficulty than Ryze. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Zilean comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to do well with you.
When playing cooperatively, Ryze players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
In contrast, by aligning Ryze and Zilean together, you may not be granting your team much anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this gap in their abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Zilean teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
