Overload

On cast, Ryze throws a charge of pure energy in a line, dealing damage to the first enemy struck. If the target has Flux on it, Overload deals extra damage and bounces to nearby enemies with Flux.
Ryze E Icon

Ryze W Icon

19649%-45+95You have to pressure her and get a lead pre six to make the mid game more manageable. You can harass her pretty easily with autos E W and E Q. Aery and Scorch are viable if you want to play more agreessive in this matchup. Hard respect her when she gets six and avoid trading in her shroud. Your E will still spread onto her or stay on her even if she is in the shroud. So you can still E minions and Q them and the Q will hit her. You lose at first item but win at two.
