Ryze vs Annie

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling mage who needs to manage mana carefully to apply spell rotations without overextending.
Avoid giving Annie free all-in windows by controlling wave and respecting her burst potential with Annie R and passive stun.

Trading pattern

Trade by applying E and Q quickly, then hold W to root Annie if she tries to engage.
Punish Annie when her stun passive or R is on cooldown by stepping forward for short trades.
Avoid trading when low on mana or when Annie can proc her passive stun for burst damage.

Danger windows

Respect Annie's full combo when her passive stun is stacked and Annie R is available.
Avoid extended trades when low on mana or W is down, as Ryze cannot follow up or peel effectively.
Punish Annie if she is forced to push with W and runs low on mana, making her vulnerable.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using E and Q poke when Annie's passive stun is not stacked.
Avoid extended trades before your first mana/AP item as Annie's burst from Q+W+passive is dangerous.
Use W defensively to punish Annie if she commits without her stun ready.

Power spikes

Ryze's first mana/AP item significantly increases his sustained damage and trading threat.
Ryze's level 6 R enables map plays but does not directly increase lane burst.
Annie's level 6 R is a major pick and burst threat to respect in lane.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and using spell rotations to chip Annie down when her stun is unavailable.
Use W to root Annie and follow up with Q for burst when she overcommits.
Translate wave control into mid-game map plays with R to help your team and avoid Annie's pick attempts.

Tip: For Ryze vs Annie, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
