Jungle Riven is now forced to wriggles cause of the weaker midgame farm, scince your w does not have as much burst you have to fight for at least 2 autos more so the armor + lifesteal helps.

Double dorans riven jungle is not only unviable and very snowball dependant but farms waaaaaaay weaker. also cause you clear slower with double dorans, you take more damage in jungle. so jungling after ganking is impossible compared to the wriggels which heals you so you can farm and go into another gank, where double dorans would be forced to fountain.

What do I do again Nasus? I try to charge in and stun him when I see him charge his Q but I only end up pushing because Riven goes all herp derp AOE time. I was able to force him to wither me a few times but it just wasn't enough. I've only had the matchup twice so I don't know it too well.

Riven should be able to shit on Nasus early. His only source of notable damage is Q. E to block that and you should be able to hit W and every Q unless he withers, in which case he's burning mana which is fine too. You trade with him early then you should be able to zone him from there on out. He can't get close to creeps = no lifesteal and he can't trade with you because of your shield. Just time your aggression better so you don't end up pushing hard or taking too much damage from creeps.

I was going to ask in GD, but remembered the note at the top of the thread (It's working!).

How are people building jungle Riven now, and what starting path do you use? I want to try her in the jungle, but I'm not sure what the best way to play it would be.

She's a lot weaker now in the jungle, unforunately. Run AD Marks and Quints, pick up a Doran's Blade, get a good leash on red and go BALLS FUCKING DEEP. If someone is out of position with a Riven gank, they are almost certainly going to die or burn summoners. But Lee Sin is a lot better pick for what you're attempting to do.

This is how I do it..

Start:
I go cloth5 now, Dorans isn't as good as it used to be.

Build:
Wriggle/boots/BT/GA Core usually IE, LW, or more BT after.

Runes/Masteries:
7Armor pen 2 AD marks, Armor seals, scaling MR glyphs(I intend to play around with AS blues one day to increase clear time, AD quints.

http://thefwcentral.com/lol/#&trees=0-3-0-2-4-0-1-0-1-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-1-0-3-3-2-0-0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

2AD marks because 10% Armor Pen + 18 flat lets out from runes/masteries let you deal true damage to jungle.

Route/Abilities:
I've started going wraiths/red (possible gank here)/golems/wraiths/wolves/blue(possible gank or coutner jungle)/B.

Standard QWE start. R>W>Q>E (Most people like E before Q, I don't think either is "strictly better" with the recent changes)

Tip:
When you get E, open with it into camps and let the mobs knock down your shield before you W. It makes for a much healtier jungle and gives the ability to gank after blue or counter jungle. Otherwise most of your shield's uptime you aren't getting hit because the camp is stunned.

If you Q directly after W you can cancel W's animation.

TL:DR When you get E engage a camp E>AA>Q>AA>W>Q>AA>AA>Q>AA

Why in the world are you taking Havoc and Demolitionist on Riven? Taking the crit masteries is just flat out better and if you really, really don't like the really strong crit masteries for some reason, I would still rather just put 4 points into the cdr mastery. Riven might be a heavy skill reliant champion, but she still relies on her autos a lot for her damage (passive).

Personal preference. Doesn't matter anyway, crit chance is getting taken out next patch at which point it'll be shifted to the scaling AD.

I'm not stressed out about it, but setups are about optimizing to get the best advantage possible. If you give suboptimal setups it's promoting suboptimal play. Just saying. Scaling AD will be a good choice for Riven tho when it's patched in.

If I got the full leveled passive for BT and I have GA, if I die with GA the first time and revive, does the buff disappear too and i have to re-level it?

So are we still going R>W>E>Q with the changes, or did the change devalue W?

R > w > q = e
IMO
W still best skill, q is good now too though so I don't ignore it. Something like 2 levels of e, 2 of q etc
Except in lanes that mass e is called for, then r>e>w>q

I assume you wouldn't since when you die with GA still on, you don't lose buffs / stacks on stuff like mejais.

I'm currently trying out RQWE, but I was doing RWQE(Westrice) before that. I never really have an issue either way.

GA saves BT stacks.

nbd e is more survivability and mobility (lowered CD and higher base value) which is more useful in lane imo
q is more aoe damage which is nice in teamfights but the difference between a 10 second shield and a 6 second shield is bigger imo

preference and how well your team can peel for you
