How to play it
DO
Don't get W-rooted
His E into W locks you up and can't be Wind Walled — don't overstep, it buys just enough time to set up a gank on you.
Cancel his escape ult
His R is useless for fighting — knock him up to cancel it, or kill him before he ports out.
Watch for Zhonya's
Good Ryzes pair Zhonya's with their ult to guarantee an escape — expect it before you commit to the kill.
DON'T
Never overstep your bounds in lane — his E-W lockup can set you up for a gank.
