Ryze Counters

Every figure on this page, covering which champions beat Ryze and which ones Ryze beats, comes from live ranked Mid lane matchup data. At the moment Irelia, Locke and Sion are the toughest matchups for Ryze, since his win rate falls furthest below his average against them. Irelia is the sharpest counter of the three: Ryze wins only 36.1% of the 180 games recorded against her. On the other side, Akali, Mel and Sion are matchups where Ryze holds the edge, and they are worth targeting during champion select.

Each card displays Ryze’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it is based on, so a result built on tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one resting on a few hundred. The Easy, Even and Hard tags are derived from those win rates: under 48% is labeled Hard and over 52% is labeled Easy. They help with quick scanning but are not a separate statistic. The underlying data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, is currently running on patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so the figures shift as the meta does. Counters tell only part of the story, so for the strongest items and runes, see the current Ryze build, or visit the Ryze champion page for his abilities and complete details.
