He is absolutely unbearable for me. Any stray spell hit from him takes 15-25% of my HP, and I don't really know what to do as Asol. I played pretty relaxed but was still getting poked horribly. Each E or W was a full trades worth of damage.

Other questions.

Optimal range. I try to max my distance, but should I actually stay in 75% range to get my Q off longer? Or always try to keep my full distance and not greed it.

Build. What do I want to go?

Any general tips you might recommend for a new player would be helpful and appreciated too.

Thanks.

TLDR: Long summary of my 1st Ryze game, leading me to want to try maining him. Big issue was roaming, but otherwise I felt my laning was meh with little amounts of kills. Any resources to pursue my learning with and general Ryze advice/educational content?

All of this below isn't really important, just like writing for fun.

Despite the title implying I went 50/0/10, it was a massive defeat. I think we broke one turret in midlane, but otherwise we barely left base, mainly me. Surprisingly, it was the most fun I've had in quite a while.

I didn't do too hot in the early game. Versed Katarina and used E-W to trade, doing fine. But not really gaining anything. My CS was okay, but it took a while to get my items.

My team all wasn't doing so hot. My Pantheon was positive and I spent most of the game even/positive, but Katarina was the only negative player on their team for the majority of the game.

I hit an angelic gank on the Teemo player (Renekton was doing pretty good vs him btw. He was a hero, despite being 2/10) and got a shutdown trade. I don't think it was worth since Kat got bunches of plates, but Nekton got a moral boost.

Roaming is my weakest point, so I didn't gank as much as I should've into bot that was pushed in. That was my huge mistake that game and I should've just went out of my comfort zone more. I could've been the win con. Still kinda was due to me being very slippery and able to chunk & CC the fed enemies, but it wasn't really winnable from the moment Diana got off Herald for free in midlane.

Now the fun part. I didn't pass our jungle, and was in base the next 20 minutes. My waveclear and CC was allowing me to still beat on the fed villains whilst clearing minions. Our nexus was open the whole time, they got like 3 or 4 barons, every turret and inhib etc.

Yet we held the line. I mentally shattered the enemy Urgot support and Katarina with my Stormraiders speed allowing me to run away at a brisk pace.

Eventually I couldn't kill off everything fast enough and Teemo + 20 minions got through, ending the game.

I had lots of fun, though and am considering straight up maining Ryze.
