You dont need hextech gunblade -> BT Brut builds into youmoo's, but you don't get much from AS since you scale with ad -> BT It's essentially the same as pantheon. You're more of an ability user, rather than a straight up auto-attacker, so building raw AD is better. | ||

They only scale well if you're engaging in teamfights but you should only be dealing with top lane unless you're jungling and then it's a bit of a different story, but if you're 1v1 top solo you're in a situation where you're only going to be fighting that one person the whole game. Which seems like it reduces the chances to get stacks on it, and that you're missing out on half of the items potential. Wouldn't going for like a Bilgewater Cutlass and Brutalizer be better to go for? Since you get a heavy slow, and life steal earlier at the sacrifice of 10 damage, if you're just going to build a bilgewater. Bloodthirster is 3000g for 60 damage 12 lifesteal And its passive which grants lifesteal and damage for your kills after you get it. But this feels like its quite insignificant. Brutalizer + Bilgewater is 3162g for 60 damage 15 lifesteal 15 armor pen 10% CRD and 150 damage, 50% slow for 3 seconds The only downfall is that if you build a bilgewater first you're going to lose out on 10 damage at the cost of gaining lifesteal and the 150 damage and 50% slow for 3 seconds which is on a CD of 60 seconds, allowing you to bully or escape your lane even better. Anyone have any suggestions on why you should get a Bloodthrister or why not to get it? To me it just seems useless midgame because its passive isn't as good as a bilgewater + brutalizer and you'll have slots for them. If a riven got bilgewater against me i'd probably laugh in their face. Bloodthirster best item on her. | ||

Even then I usually ignore it when he says blade. >.> Core: 2/3xDblade>BT>Boots>GA BF is her big power curve jump so try and delay Vamp Scepter if you can. If laning against an AP you can go Vamp Scepter>hexdrinker>BT. If you're snowballing and your opponent is being stupid and not building armor, Vamp Scepter>Brutalizer>BT isn't a terrible option. Lategame options: LW, MoM, Randuins Switch em out for BTs if you don't think it's needed. | ||

 , and with the addition of decent crit chance and some serious armor pen you can rompastomp through people. It also means you can devote runes/masteries to straight up damage or tankyness as you see fit.(also, in advance of people saying why take double brut, waste of a slot, very few games I play go to the point where I'm fully built on riven since you're stacking items like maw, IE, BT and mallet which are all in excess of 3k gold. If you could buy a single weapon that gave you 25% CDR, 55 AD, 15% crit, 35 armor penetration, 20% movespeed, 50% asp for roughly the same price as a trinity force, would you do it? If you're good with actives, that's basically what this does, and all those stats are incredibly good on riven) Still, I think unless you've really mastered using riven's abilities and combos, going boots-BT is the smartest option IMO. | ||

Highlighted where I really disagree with your post. Riven's a melee character, and one that thrives in prolonged engagements where you get to get the most out of your short CD stuns & shields and your very long duration ulti steroid. Riven wants resists, and lots of them, to make her spammable shield (and lifesteal from BT) worth more EHP - thus the standard for her being GA, though I've been doing Warden's mail after my BT into randuins a lot lately (screw early HoGs, rather have 2 dorans than a HOG for riven any day.) | ||

After that, it just snowballed against me. dont mess up the first fight riven should be rumble pretty easily since you can engage and disengage at will. Rumble can't really catch you 'cause of all your dashes and your ministun. Rumble does snowball a lane really hard tho, so if you get behind early you're in for a tough time. | ||

If you want to play a champ who just latches onto someone and blows them up, I'd play Xin, Riven has a toolset to allow her to engage much more fluidly and in doing so win fights as much through confusion and misdirection as brute force, as much of that as she has. but what does this have to do with cdr vs ad? You can do the same with ad. Im a huge fan of cdr in general but i dont think this is one champ i would over-prioritize it | ||

but what does this have to do with cdr vs ad? You can do the same with ad. Im a huge fan of cdr in general but i dont think this is one champ i would over-prioritize it Riven's abilities give her her positioning strength, from straight mobility with Q and E to W's ability to give you a stutter advantage. with 40% CDR you can almost constantly be using abilities so long as you don't basically palm your QWE in half a second, you can pretty much go E whack W whack Q whack Q whack Q whack E whack W whack. The benefit isn't just mechanical, it's psychological, you'll be less predictable, more able to do spikes of damage or run interference. You'll have your ult up when someone doesn't expect it and so on, exactly the sort of advantages you can gain from say an early zhonyas or a trick runepage. From playing ez with 40% CDR in the early-midgame I can't overstate how much of a difference this can make. Now I should also like to stress that I don't play riven like this, and I've always seen riven as an AD stacking champ for the same reasons as you, but often I find myself wishing I had a cooldown 2 seconds or so before I had it. I think that WITH that advantage, you really can focus on stacking offensive stats because you will just be absurdly hard to pin down and kill. Mobile enough to get in where you're needed after the first flurry of damage and squirrely enough not to get blown up instantly. Thus you can get in, deal your exceptional damage and get out before retribution strikes, meanwhile confusing and distracting the enemy. Then you can more or less immediately turn in again if the fight is going well and re-initiate with full efficiency. With a standard build, there's usually going to be a 2-3 second delay where you're waiting for those cooldowns. In a team fight, that is a *long* time | ||
