How good would you consider mid
Ryze? I seem to prefer him there, but not sure when to pick him/into what matchup.

Why wouldn't you just pick him top, and dominate lane? ;)
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Cuz the enemy swaps then mid and top or even puts you up against duo top. Against duo top, 0 farm, useless

That only works so well. Post 6, Ryze is pretty decent at farming under turret. Assuming they lane swapped a mid up there, and one that trashes him, chances are that guys gonna get his *** beaten by ganks as most popular mid laners (barring assassins) have ****ty mobility and will shove that lane to kingdom come.
And let's not even bring up bot/top lane swaps cause no one really does that **** in soloq/knows how to do it properly.
Comparatively,
Ryze has a finer time 1v2 because he's ranged. If the enemy lane swaps against you, then they also place their solo laner into a 1v2, which will probably put them more at a disadvantage.

He's not that great, his low ranges mean a lot of the popular mages, Ori, Syndra, Xerath, can just poke him down for free. His low mobility means that assassins like Zed and Yasuo can close the gap on him and kill him fairly easily early on, even with
