Need some advice when facing Ryze
I've been getting matched up against Ryze a few times recently and I feel like he counters kassadin perfectly. He is really strong early(despite buying tear and catalyst). He pushes so hard and you can't stay close to your own minions and farming under tower isn't safe either because he can just do a quick combo and you lose 30% of your HP for 1 towershot. So laning is just terrible, should i just give up on laning and try to roam non stop? I don't feel like there is any point of the game where you deal with him.

Take mr glyphs and teleport. Start corrupting potion. Take all cs possible and try to freeze the wave a little bit outside the turret so that he can't harass you for free. If he does, just hit him with q and if you get low pre-6 just recall and tp back to lane with dark seal/catalyst. Once you reach 6 this lane becomes pretty easy. From my experience you can always outtrade ryze post-6. Each time he gets close you can just ult onto him and do full combo. For me this matchup is not really difficult, all you really have to do is play safe pre-6 and you should be fine later on. I think Orianna is much harder to deal with early than Ryze.
Lmao wtf ,I have Ryze at mastery lvl 7 and if a Kassadin or any other silly assassin tries to come close to me as Ryze, I just root then there, unleash my machine gun, pop my shield and they lost at least 70% of their HP while I lost no more than 30% , and that's with just tear and catalyst, if they dare to do that when I have AP I'll one shot them, Ryze is the perfect anti-assasin, of you beat Ryze with Kass is because those ryzes were trash, cuz he ain't easy to play, but if the Ryze knows his combos you'll never EVER beat him lmao
if you just blindly ult into a ryze at lvl 6 and he knows his combos, ur dead mate.
Idk i laned against ryze a few times past few days and each time this matchup was quite easy. I could easily outtrade him at 6.
As a three year ryze and kass main this used to be the case, but now ryze destroys kassadin in a skirmish like that. There should be no real point in the game where ryze gets solod by kass unless he has 30 mr. This is out of maybe 5 recent cases in high plat low diamond queues and was also true for the last rework of ryze.
