Please. How to counterpick Riven.

Thank you very much.

There's not much. You need someone who can trade at early levels and come out ahead. Udyr is good because of his sustain and good damage. Wukong does ok if you're cautious, but isn't the best choice. Lanewick or Nasus work with sustain and tankyness, but probably aren't the best choices.

The thing about Riven is that her damage is so good all game, especially with farm. You need someone who can stay alive in lane and out-scale her or deny her farm.

However, as a Riven player, I hope no one ever really learns how to counter her

Well, I was thinking about that too, but is there really a champion that out-scales her? I couldn't really find one, but my knowledge is quite limited(and lol wiki is locked at work! ^^ )

There's not a lot. Maybe Nasus if you let him freefarm, or something like Snowballing Akali/Irelia. Maybe Jax?

But yeah, you need to outfarm and just try to bully her out of lane.

Maybe Panth could work, but I've never had a problem with one as Riven.

i think cho does pretty well against riven because neither can really stop the other from farming, and a farmed cho is just as scary as a farmed riven

So if it scales multiplicitavely you get 40% reduction from the passive, then an additional 35% from mercs of the 60% so you're up to 61% reduction bringing you up to 65% cc reduction with the 10% from the masteries. 65% cc reduction, better nerf Irelia.

10 from mastery, 30 from w, 40 from void staff. So you get 40 for making it to lvl 18 and another 40 for the void staff.

Probably, I've not seen Cho in some times. Stands to reason, though. Good sustain, poke (while Riven has none of her own), and Feast hurts.

1-(0.9)*(0.7)*(0.6) = .622 -> 62.2% MPEN.

We've been over this, it was 64.3% when we had the 15% MPEN mastery.

The problem I find with Riven is that her early is not REALLY bad (compared to say a Nasus) but her scaling is ridiculous. She feels like a bruiser Kog Maw to me. A champ that should be weak early game to make up for his stupid late, but... Which has a decent early if played properly :p

Nothing. He still doesn't do anything useful past level 10 unless his opponent got zero farm.

Garen gets armor, he does no damage. Riven and Garen freefarm, Riven faaaar outscales and instakills the rest of the team by herself. Garen does no damage except with his ult.

Garen gets damage and a LW. Riven bursts him down in lane and gives zero fucks.

He has a place in match-ups, but vs Riven he's kinda hosed.

Garen doesn't have a problem scaling into late game. His skill set is terrible for any fight that lasts longer than the duration of his E is his problem. Once his q and e are done he gets to auto or run until they are up again. His skills which he uses to kill things, also happen to be what he needs to run away if he gets caught. Over a 20 second fight garen can't do much, but over a 20 minute laning phase things are much different.

Also my necrophilic love yorick is pretty awesome against riven and he also scales quite well as well as supporting your ad carry by making a clone of him with 75% damage for 10 seconds.
