Opponents go Akali/LB first two picks, so I put my trollface on and pick mid galio. Ended up laning against LB.
Result:

I don't see Riven's late game as even close to as strong as you guys see it. She's a fucking bitch to lane against as Melee though.

as Irelia it's still kinda scary. then you get a wriggle's and zone her out of xp range. such is life.

Fizz's gap closing is freaking ridiculous. If you get behind, there's not an awful lot you can do.

With the Jungle changes how viable are the following, jungle blitz, jungle renekton, jungle irelia, jungle leona, jungle veigar, jungle xerath.

For the Riven vs Top lane discussion.
If it means anything, I seem to get beaten by Lee Sin and Wukong quite a bit. Olaf is very hit-or-miss. Either I get an early advantage and carry it or just get stomped. I think Garen can out-bully her. I haven't played a good one yet but I definitely think it is possible. When I am a little more focused I will try to come up with some good ways to win a lane vs Riven.
Some thing I haven't run into in ranked that I think would be troublesome as Riven. Warwick and Udyr. More so Udyr. Early game you can make him angry but eventually he will be super scary. Here's to hoping I find a decent lane Udyr on ladder in the next few days. I need to prove Riven isn't OP so she doesn't get nerfed!

I can run 0/21/9 on xin and still clear as fast as old 21/0/9
Oh boy, maybe I can build glass cannon for real now!

I can't not see it justified to run 21 offense, you're like the old udyr which levels faster than solo lanes as long as you have jungle to clear. Skarner is debatable, I'd say it depends on what runes you're running and who your opposing jungler is (as if, the more offensive jungler the more defensive you build skarner). Phoenix udyr maxes R > W > E > Q (3 in Q vs 3 in E is debatable). 21 offense is pointless as phoenix because you clear so freaking fast anyway, and points 10-20 in offense doesn't do much for him. Meanwhile the health, move speed, damage reduction, and Juggernaut are all insanely good for Udyr for the entire game. For almost every other jungler you have a suboptimal rune/mastery set to clear jungle faster, but Udyr is so fast that you can build him normally. EDIT: points 10-20 gives you crit/lethality, lifesteal, and flat armor pen / AP. None of those stats are are particularly good, since you'd rather have attack speed instead.

You don't really get W so you can sustain in jungle, you get it because a 200+hp shield every 3-5 seconds is ridiculously strong for you durability. Also, getting Wriggles on Phoenix Udyr isn't necessarily core. I know Jatt never gets Wriggles on Phoenix Udyr except in edge cases.

Late game Phœnix Udyr switching betwee R and Q lvl 5 is just craze, and ganks are WAY more powerful with E. As well as faster clear times. Jatt, SV, and Oddone all verifiably go R>W>E>Q. W isn't about the sustainability, it's about the fact that it's a retarded amount of free HP in teamfights. This. The diminishing return on e makes it not nearly as worthwhile as w, and q is useless since it doesnt scale with any items you are going to get. The "correct" (read high elo) way to play phoenix udyr is R>W>E>Q. ^ Also - Wriggle is almost entirely pointless, and simply delays your REAL farm item (wit's end). You will rarely have time to switch between R/Q in late game. You are one of the tanks for your team, and need to use bear every few seconds to stun, so more likely than not you'll swap between R/W/E. If you have time to swap R/Q/E then you probably aren't doing your job and your carries are getting crushed (or you're ahead so much it doesn't matter). Wriggle-Wit's + Udyr Aspd passive buff is just ridiculous, if you max E to move between camp you can do a full clear in about 30s, and kill the drake in less than 10s. 14 or so minutes into the game. And after those 2 items, you can go full tanky and be just fine for the time when teamfights happen.
But well, I guess Phœnix Udyr in jungle is still evolving, I've never seen 2 people agree on it. Maxing W is very counter intuitive though, it's useless in the jungle AND in ganks, it only has uses in teamfights if your opponents decide for whatever reason to focus you a little bit, but not enough to kill you...

And after those 2 items, you can go full tanky and be just fine for the time when teamfights happen. The thing is, Wriggle's doesn't really do anything for you except take Red buff or Dragon. Phoenix already clears small camps fast enough that a Wriggle's proc won't affect your speed (e.g. Wriggle's proccing on the big wraith doesn't make you do wraiths that much faster because then you hit small wraiths that would have just died to your Phoenix stance anyway), and you should be giving away 2nd blue buff, so the chance of a Wriggle's proc forcing you to stop hitting blue at like 700 HP arguably makes it SLOWER for you to give away blue because you have to wait for your mid AP to dps 700 HP by himself.
The only times that Wriggle's is situationally useful is if you feel you need the early Razors to force the enemy off their 2nd blue or red, or that you want to be a super-early Dragon threat. That doesn't happen every game.

works well with galio ult

Still having 25% CDR and the attack speed slow for ad's are so much more better than a thornmail that gives you 100 armor and 30% dmg returned.

Randuin's IMO. You have a resist steroid, which increases the duration of the active, and a taunt which forces people to proc the passive slow on themselves (so after your ulti, some or all of the people caught in it are slowed for another 3 seconds). FHeart aura is not that much better than Randuin's passive/active when you can force like 8 seconds of the Randuin mspd/aspd slow on the relevant targets anyway.

except i dont, I don't agree. I think RE is better almost always. what is the point of lvl 2 w again?
I can see going W lvl 2 if im not starting blue.. but if im starting blue i simply want E to be able to run faster or gank at lvl 2/3 if there is some kind of weird great opportunity. I don't need w at lvl 2!
