Eh, now that I think about it, riven can move about reasonably well even while slowed, so maybe not. Teemo? Irelia? Renekton's been discussed already and seems manageable but on the difficult side. Can you push a Nasus out of lane on her? Trading farm with Nasus seems... less than the ideal situation (as both of you scale really well into the late game) | ||

i ran caster runes and masteries one game and shat on nasus regardless like mpen, AP, AP/lvl, all useless stats on riven he probably didn't rune perfectly either but still probably better than me lol riven definetly handles nasus better than, say, jax, in teamfights because a lot of her damage is aoe spells, and her teamwide dps is probably higher for most of the game. she has a decent kit to shut him down in lane, so i wouldn't be afraid to pick riven into nasus. teemo can't handle riven's burst, and can't kite her completely his blind obviously strong against her, but depending on when he blinds you you can use your skills accordingly (i.e. blind at start of q's, use q and w up to three charges, and then e-> q knockback when blind is off, etc irelia is complicated, but riven can beat her early. if nothing else trading farm with her isn't a bad proposition, and ask your jungler for ganks when u feel weak etc. | ||

No real sustain in either champ, some pretty good damage on both sides. Riven definitely has the edge I think, though. Her combo is longer and scales better than Charge -> Q (-> Ult). Wukong has more utility thanks to his ult for teamfights, but his late game damage has nothing on Riven. While this is true, I think a good Wukong can probably be even or slightly outperform Riven in the early game. His Q seems to scale better than anything short of a full combo with autoattacks, which is extraordinarily hard to get against someone who has a dash and an invis. Mid-late game, she shits all over him, though. Also, I've noticed just how much the minion changes affect the matchup when I ended up getting duo laned top by a panth/nidalee. Nid kept me completely zoned until I got a jungle gank, killed both of them, then panth started roaming and I finally won the lane. She never even dropped HP with 1 pot and her heal, even when I had a full wave of minions attacking her for short periods, and I couldn't get close with her passive and boots opening. Very frustrating. | ||

If yes, you're probably winning lane. | ||

Can't really trade that hard with him, thanks to bird sustain, but you can burst faster than his DoTs can kill you most of the time. Not enough experience, I'm sure Navi has a better idea. | ||

and if you run ignite you can kill him at most stages in the game, because even if he nevermores you, you can still autoattack him (and get in a position to do so by using your e and q, or just use them to dodge it if he doesn't use nevermore over where he will be standing when disengaging, but if he can't do that he's probably not a great swain). it's not a complete stomp though, because swain's kit still has good cc, but imo the deciding factor is the two sides' proneness to ganks, and swain is definetly more gankable at just about every stage in the game because of riven's mobility and instant ministun and swain's lack of mobility | ||

Also why the hell does it feel like she has the worse base attack speed in game. I think Lee sin has the strongest lvl 1 in the game bar none. Better than Riven/Panth and anyone else I can think of. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thing about lee sin tho is that Riven wrecks him after a few levels and she far far outscales lee sin. | ||

Also, super big thanks for this guide! I think it's one of the best guides because whenever I play I have a good feeling for the direction I want to go with my build and stuff - like when you say what Riven scales with, it seems super obvious when you explain it but a lot of people don't think about that stuff, so I've been consistently out-damaging opposing Rivens with other builds. Had an epic comeback game where we were behind at least 10 kills and ~4 turrets (we hadn't taken ANY of their turrets at this point), but after a few good teamfights (including a quadrakill and pentakill for me!!!) we won the game. Btw, what can I do to protect myself vs counterjungling at the beginning as jungle Riven? it's probably just a matter of having my team coordinate better, but i had one game where my big wraith was stolen (not a big deal at my level of play... i'm not even lvl 30 yet) and another where i got ganked twice at blue, and i felt waaay behind and didn't know what i should have done about them. | ||

Generally if you feel that the other team has warded your blue/ any camp just skip it unless you have a high level of coordination with your team. You're better off running damage control and just farming the rest of your jungle than trying to be stubborn about grabbing blue. A big part of jungling is adapting. | ||
