Does anybody play Riven in the jungle anymore? I've been messing around with it in bot games and I can't find a buildpath that feels good. Lifesteal sucks from the jungle.

Updated, looking into doing more matchups after I touch up my other guides.

What do you think of the Ryze matchup? Played it last night as the Ryze and I made a few big mistakes that let her trash me entirely. Is it one of those lanes where whoever gets the snowball going just takes it the rest of the game?

I haven't played it since S2, so I don't know what it's like now.

In terms of items, I feel like she hasn't changed much. Some sort of lifegain weapon (usually Hydra, though new BT works surprisingly well with her kit) > Bruta > LW into whatever.

I think if anything she takes a step forward. She hasn't gave a shit about BT at all. The only issues are that the Dblade lifesteal is lower than the on-hit and the Vamp Scepter LS got lowered, but everybody has to deal with that. If you want to go for the all out GA only defencive item style, new BT makes a nice 4th offensive cap item if you don't need Maw.

Got pretty fed in a game and went Tiamat => BT. Felt a pretty good way to add a bunch of damage with a touch of durability.

I feel like till you get lvl 5 or so its really hard for Ryze, you gotta kite like a god when she goes in on you and if you fuck up she will melt you in like 2 seconds

I feel like without serious kiting/expert play from ryze or a huge mistake from riven its pretty much impossible to lose Riven v Ryze imo.

Added Aatrox and Mundo. Looking to be more active in the matchup section. As always, discussion is greatly appreciated.

I hate playing as Riven at the moment. If you don't snowball your lane, I feel like Riven is pretty useless in teamfights. Too squishy (even with E) to actually go in (since she's melee with "sustained mobility") and not enough damage unless you dominate your lane and can afford all those expensive AD items.

I went up against Sion the other day, dominated him 3-1, then he just got super tanky with all glass cannon items mid game (wtf) and dominated me from there on. Riven seems to have a lot of trouble vs. tanky laners who can take her damage.

Honestly she's been nerfed too much.

I remember in a interview with Shook from Alliance that he was trying to counter pick Lee Sin jungle with Riven Jungle and I want to know if there is any logic behind the counter pick? It seems to me that Lee Sin can gank very easily in the early game compared to Riven.

I think the idea behind it is you invade him as Riven at/around level 3 and wreck him, now that he no longer has an attack speed slow on the second hit of his E. I could be wrong though, I've never jungled as Riven.

The interview was before the nerf on his E and jungle Riven seems to be fine as she got lots of carry potental but her ganks are kind of meh without flashing in with your W or if you started using your Q just before appearing. Also jungle Riven seems to played a lot in the Korean server's Solo Que.

Then Shook must be high, because Riven couldn't fight old Lee 1v1 early.

Updated for S5, still testing a few things out. Still looking to flesh out the matchup section and, hopefully, add a jungling section.

Any experience/ideas on how to fight against a Rek'Sai top lane as Riven? I played against one and once she hit level 4 she could trade so well with the burrow knockup into Q's triple hit, then re-sustain up with the Fury burrow regen passive.
