O.M.G. Riot, what have you done!
I've played Ryze a lot since I entered the LoL community 8 months ago. I never found him that powerful maybe for me don't knowing how to build him or how to play him. However I've watched many many championship matches where Ryze was always banned, then I wondered why and in a deep look I found that Ryze can be a fearsome enemy.
Now Riot buffed his AP ratios and gave him move speed in an almost 15 seconds cooldown ultimate. I've tested the new Ryze in some games since the release and I think that, now, Ryze is nothing less than a TITAN. Jesus Chirst, his damage never was so high D: I always felt like his poke ( Overload) lacked power to zone the enemy from early on, but now OMG. O M G O M G O M G ! ! ! You can start at level 1 doing more than 100 damage each 3 seconds. That's HUGE!
Two thing I expect: 1) Ryze perma banned at ranked high elo games and 2) some more nerfs over his mana ratios, last nerf was not enough for what Riot wanted to do. Tanky build is still viable and actually the best option.

What makes Ryze tanky is Frozen Heart and Banshee's Veil for the mana scaling damage; the damage was nerfed, but those items still provides awesome damage, so I won't be expecting to see any competitive glass-cannon build on Ryze.
Frozen Heart// Banshee's Veil// Rod of Ages// Mercury's Treads// Archangel's Staff// Rabadon's Deathcap or Archangel's Staff or another Rod of Ages
Try that and see by yerself :D
EDIT: With that build I got a quadra kill while tanking both Nexus towers. Say what.
You pretty much get a free mana crystal in terms of damage at early levels, which imo made Ryze balanced-ish.
Now you can start boots + pots while doing the same amount of damage, or start blue crystal while doing 100+ with a mana pool big enough to supply over 10 of them.
He's in for a nerf :P
The new changes take away from manna scaling and make him more AP caster with good mobility. You will be seeing much more glass cannon builds (or at least less tanky builds) that do higher damage but will easily be killed and heavily shut down by cc.
all in all I would say were seeing a more balanced champ who can do high damage as a caster but will die much faster in team fights if you are not carefull.
