How to Play This Matchup
Survive to Scale
Xin Zhao will try to bully you early. Give up CS if needed  your job is to not die. Ryze outscales hard after 2 items. Play for farm, not fights.
Mixed Resistances
Ryze deals AP damage while Xin Zhao deals AD. Build resistances accordingly  don't stack the wrong type.
Range Advantage
