Ryze is one of the top 3 mages. Ryze is not actually that weak of a laner, if you rush catalyst you can beat 90% of mids in trades (losing to only Cass, Kass, Galio, Leblanc, and Xerath). Of course, many other APs will out damage Ryze in lane, but the main thing is that his Q is 650 and his W is 625 range, both on short cds so he can root many other AP that have shorter range in place, so they cant use targeted spells to hit back, and then his ult allows him to easily juke skill shots. All of his spells have low cds so he can do this very frequently.

The main thing about Ryze is that he builds extremely tanky making him difficult to kill, but still does a lot of damage late game, which no other AP mid except Sion can say (E farming + shields). He has good utility with a short cd root and aoe MR shred with his ult+E, op kite with Rylais+ult. With the defense cd reduction mastery, maxed Q and frozen heart Ryze reaches 38% CDR, which means that a Q and then any other spell will leave his Q with a 1.2 second CD, and his W and E have 14 second CDs which mean that after a full rotation of QWQEQR, they should be off cooldown again (accounting for time spent walking around, in a perfect world you would stand still spamming skills the moment they come off cd, but that never happens).

Ryze does s#%$& on Veigar in lane. In the early levels Ryze Q and Veigar Q do similar damage, while Ryze's has half the cd and a Veigar's Q mana cost increases with level. Once Ryze gets Merc Treads and a Catalyst, he will take minimal damage from everything Veigar has, while his combo can chunk Veigar every ~8-10 seconds, and he can always just spam Qs. They can both set up ganks on each other, but Ryze's W is easier to land and Veigar is much squishier.

Pretty much if I were to pick the top 5 AP carries right now, in no particular order I would have to say

Karthus
Cassiopeia
Kennen
Ryze
Morgana

Veigar has extremely strong burst potential, but his weakness in lane combined with his squishyness+lack of escape make him an undesirable pick compared to the other AP mids. Cassiopeia doesn't have as strong of a burst, but has superior DPS, AOE, greater range, and she also has an AOE stun while having an extremely strong laning phase.
