| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 2 | Taliyah | At 2 your poke punishes his weak, expensive early trades. |
| Level 3 | Taliyah | Level 3 your Q outranges his Overload and he can't sustain trading back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Through 4-5 you deny his stacking and hold wave priority. |
| Level 6 | Taliyah | Your Weaver's Wall gives real map pressure while his Realm Warp does nothing in a duel. |
| First item | Taliyah | First item your poke outpaces his slow mana-item scaling. |
| Two+ items | Taliyah | With 2+ items you keep priority and rotate faster despite his late-game power. |
Ryze is one of the weakest early laners in the game and you punish it directly; your Q on Worked Ground outranges his Overload and pokes him whenever he steps to CS. His mana pool can't sustain trading back, so every exchange favors you. Keep him low on the wave and deny his stacking rhythm.
