My guide is trash by the votes, I'm not too worry about it. If you have feedback, I'll gladly listen to and discuss it. I have added a bunch of items in the situational section because of people's comment. Ghostblade isn't the only way to play, I do feel it's a good item but sometimes you can completely skip it, it is a early and mid game item that doesn't really have a place in late game.

I could downvote your guide for so mayn reasons... but I dont.
Why? Cause I am not like you who only wants to let his build look better. You dowbvoted my build cuase I didnt get Ghostblade so early. Thats just insane stupid really. Guys like you makes me so sad. A guide doesnt only exist of one point... you have to read the whole guide, test it and then judge about it.

Yeah, I tend to do that as well but I think people don't realize that everything after my first three items everything else is situational. I really like being a reactive player which may hurt my guide. If you're doing fine with your ganks then getting warmogs should be fine since youmuu really tears people apart. If you're having a issue with damage then BFSword tends to solve that.

Thank you for the comment ^^

I like your build. After many tests, I think Riven jungler is far better than Riven lanner.
I just would have taken a B.F sword before Warmogs. It helps a lot for gank or even farm faster.

Atmas is a situational item, I hope you didn't vote down because of that. :(

I guess my huge mistake was allowing people to vote without commenting.

Atmas is a situational item, I hope you didn't vote down because of that. :(

Haven't tried this yet, but looks cool. I'll have to give it a shot. upvoted

Id say you'd get a Atmas...

Yeah, I don't say when to change the boots out. I just say they need to be change out. Hopefully people realize when it's getting pretty team fight heavy and do the switch then.

Banshee and Frozen are both Situational items, I have Banshee in there since it's simply a good all around item and if you really have no clue what to get banshee should help in some way. I try to express a lot in this guide to be reactive to the other team. Know who their carries are and other aspects that can affect what you build.

Thanks for the input ^^ I already have Frozen heart in situational items since it really is a good item that people should know about.


Thank you ^^ Hopefully it will get more attention, right now my views seem to be a bit on the low side.

I really like her as a jungler, I just feel her ganks and mobility makes her really good. I normally never gank at lvl 3 and I play a lot of junglers. Only Udyr and rarely with Xin Zhao would I even try but Riven has given me so many successful lvl 3 ganks, it's just amazing. Plus, with her mobility and ton's of burst counter jungling is just awesome.

I do think Riven can lane very well, I saw a Riven Renekton combo that simply tore things up. Broken Wings and Ki Burst are both great for last hitting and with Valor you can get in to the minions to last hit. Note, this Riven was being very active and was counter jungling as well. They lost, but it was no fault of their Riven who got multiple successful ganks in the jungle. I just simply prefer her as a jungler.

Best Riven build guide out there. To be honest I think Riven is ONLY viable in jungle. She isn't really that capable of soloing top with any decent player. Garen/Jax/Cho I had problems with mainly due to silence and burst.

When I try out the jungle option with Riven, my build is similar to this with 2 differences.

1) i change my boots out at level 12ish, to boots of swiftness, since combat is happening a lot more often.

2) I go with Frozen Heart over Banshee's Veil. I have found that the heart is pure Riven fun. 99 armor, 20% cooldown reduction (A MUST have for her since she is not stacking Ionian boots on top of Yommuu's), and slowing all other melees near her by 20%, giving a noticeable survivability boost, while helping her cooldowns on her abilities - more dps burst.
With Yommuu's and Frozen Heart on, my Q and E are on about a 4.5ish second cooldown, and my R is on a 27sec cooldown.... letting me keep my Ultimate going 30 seconds per minute!!


Just ideas to try out. :)

I know, I was arguing for your point of view in that case :P
