Ryze

Ryze has zero dashes pre-Flash to dodge Infernal Chains (W); once pulled into melee, a Q3 edge knock-up plus Umbral Dash (E) reset chunks him before Rune Prison (W) can root and trade back.

Shuriken Flip (E) plus Perfect Execution (R) double-dash blink onto Ryze inside 615 cast range, and Twilight Shroud (W) breaks targeted Rune Prison (W) line of sight before the root lands. Five Point Strike (Q) energy refunds keep her sticking on the next combo cycle.

Frozen Tomb (R) is a point-and-click stun-self-stasis that drops Ryze before he can finish the Spell Flux (E) into Rune Prison (W) combo. Glacial Path (E) reactivates as a teleport and Ring of Frost (W) is an AOE root that catches the short Ryze cast range every trade.

Pre-level 6 Ryze cannot duel Doran's Shield Ornn with Grasp proccing every 4 seconds. Volcanic Rupture pillar pierces Spell Flux passive shield procs, and Searing Charge into Brittle stun locks him before Rune Prison root can fire.

Ryze has zero dash — Audacity's 650-unit targeted dash closes inside Overload range before he can build mana stacks, and rock-empowered Edge of Ixtal wall-stun cancels Rune Prison root setup.

Ryze relies on Overload poke from inside short Spell Flux range, forcing him into Xerath's max-charge Arcanopulse window every cooldown. Rune Prison root is a melee-distance threat; Xerath never enters that range and chunks Ryze every step-up on the wave.

Ryze must step into short Spell Flux E range to deal damage. Dreaded Return W pulls him mid-cast and chains into Q1 plus Q2 knock-up before he can disengage with Realm Warp R, and Rune Prison W root is too short-range to peel Zaahen mid-dash.

Living Shadow (W) plus Death Mark (R) double-dash blink onto Ryze inside the 615 cast range during the Rune Prison (W) windup. Razor Shuriken (Q) pokes from 900 while Ryze stacks mana, and the Contempt for the Weak passive amplifies the kill threshold on low-HP backs.
