This seems a little out of place.

Talk a little bit more about how ryze
plays around dragon. In the mid game,
Ryze struggles fighting around the
dragon area unless his team has some
way to initiate.
Additionally, if Ryze gets a successful
flank on his opponents, it's game
winning.

There are a couple things that I think the guide has missed thus far:
The first would be your combo.
The all-in combo for ryze differs from 2 stacks to >2 stacks IIRC. I'd like you to take some footage of your
own gameplay and show your readers EXACTLY what the combo is. Using the combo when your passive is
charged feels a little unnatural compared to the old ryze.
I'd like you to talk about positioning in fights. Once ryzes passive is up, you're basically immobilized, so it's
really important that you teach your readers to position well to make the most out of ryze's passive. Again,
try to take some footage from your own gameplay and really try to show how far away you spaced from both
your opponents front line, their carries, and WHY you positioned exactly where you did in that team fight.
There's one (maybe two) chances where you can actually orb walk in ryze's combo. For advanced players, it
would be quite handy for them if they knew more advanced combos.

I'd also like you to go into further detail about how to survive laning phase against bullies.
A lot of it revolves around ryze's passive, and using that well allows you to win trades.
Lastly, if you include a section on how to flank successfully with teleports, that'd help your readers improve
even more.
If you do all of these things well, i'll +scout your guide. You'll need 2 scout votes in order to get your guide
featured.
