Don't engage in a committed fight when she lands an E on you.

Anyone else get a bug that won't allow you to use a skill for a brief amount of time? It only happens on Riven and its way too common to be lag. Its mostly Q and R 2nd activation but I got it on every skill a few times.

There is a lockout period on Wind Slash and Broken Wings. It is intentional.

So I've found wk v riven to be nigh impossible. His animations are so slow riven can literally knock him out of them. Dumb matchup

I think you're just supposed to E towards her when she auto-attacks a minions, then auto+W+auto and Q away. Repeat this harass a few times trying not to take any damage. Post-6 can be tricky. Also just back off immediately if she gets her E on you.

You arent gonna not take damage from burnout + auto attacks though, even with her stun

Then shyv pushes lane and you get free farm while she worries about ganks.
Not to mention if you engage at the end of burn out you do more DMg and shyv
cant Disengage.

You don't stand there fighting her in her burnout. You just E to her, stun her auto once and back off. No need to stand and fight unless she's really low and you're going for the kill. You can dictate the engage since you have greater mobility.

Oh, well, with numbers like that it's different. Haven't had that happen to me.

I was gonna write a really long story about my Riven playstyle and whatnot. But what it pretty much boils down to is:

When jungling with Riven, and start with armor+pots, do you go for Wriggles Lantern or for Vampiric Scepter and then save up for Bloodthirster (with 1 or 2 Doran's inbetween perhaps).

When I jungle Riven I don't get Wriggles at all. Start boots+3->2xdorans->BFsword->BT. I don't bother with the Vamp because assuming you're maxing Q first (which imo you should) most of your clearing damage is on AoE spell damage. It not like you need the shorter W CD for trades or even a huge amount of your E's shield either.

Getting Wriggles without Dorans weakens your ganks, and getting it with Dorans delays your Bloodthirster a lot, in my opinion.

Just bought Riven, feels like I have no counters in Top Lane if I play really safe except for Tryhardamere. Even then, if I can zone him pre-6 I could crush him until LATE LATE game where he crits for 500+ and I just die from that.

I think Renekton beats Riven pretty hard. You can't dance around him like you can most champs because he has superior mobility and shares most of Rivens early game prowess.

Crocodile has better sustain, similar skillset, and is stronger early game. I guess Riven scales much better than him though so as long as you aren't too far behind you technically win.

Never played Riven vs Olaf as Riven, but everytime I've played a Riven as Olaf I stomp her. Doesn't really matter if you faster when he has better sustain, deals more damage, and has better range... although I'd assume it is pretty skill based. If Riven shields all of Olafs Reckless Swings I could see Riven wrecking him.

Q is way stronger in the jungle imo. Its like how Mundo would max Cleaver first in lane, but in Jungle is silly not to max Burning Agony. Same idea, clear speed on junglers these days is a big deal.

Yes youre absolutely right, its just that I always leveled W first while laning, but Q for jungling is definitely better

For whatever it's worth, I'm pretty sure SV goes W > E > Q on Riven. Takes Q at level 1 though, of course.

Ive been a fan of doing q-w-e for jungle. I literally 4 hit an ahri yesterday with q and ult up.

I feel what really makes her strong is the shield. Most champions have to choose between survivability items or damage items, and Riven can just stack Dorans and BT's and she gains more scaling on the shield. Maybe if they made it scale off ap like Jarvan's/Lee Sin's shield it wouldn't be so much of a problem.

Westrice ran Riven at IPL4 and Tree Eskimo said he had success in the Match up with Mundo. When I play Riven, I play a lot of match ups very aggressively, pushing the lane early to level up a few creeps faster than the opponent and then going off on the guy while I got that one level advantage. I mean look at what a lvl 1 WW can do vs a level 2 Riven. He can't even go to auto attack cs with out taking a ton of damage. The thing that can be a problem with this style is early jungle ganks by champs with large gap closers, Shaco/Lee/Yi/etc. The trick is to combine early jungle ganks, and a champion that can stand toe to toe with her early, Garen, Renekton are ones I play, as I've never been Mundo.

Now I don't know if Mundo actually beats Riven because in the match Westrice did get caught at lvl 1, blew flash, gave first blood, and then got ganked early while flash was on cooldown.
