Back to Top

Rocking Riven Top.

Okay , you have picked Riven as a top laner.
When you head in game decide whether or not you will need armor+5pots or more sustain.
Take Broken Wings at 1:35 to make sure you'll have it ready for leashing your jungler .
When you head to lane walk about 2 minions from your opponent to see their reaction , if they are passive Q them , if they are aggresive , hold your grounds.
When going for a kill you mudt ensure you have all your abilites off cooldown.
Start by R>Q>A>Q>A>W>A>Q>A>E>A>R , hitting as much procs. Of your passive as posible.
Ignite and run.
If your opponent has a stun DO NOT START CHANNELING YOUR BROKEN WINGS!!!! You will not have enough time to activate the other dashes! Use your Ki Strike then Valor to safety , if your still running and have made a safe distance , start Q'ing. Farming should also be your goal to do.

Ganking Mid and Bot Lanes.

When ganking these lanes come from a side that is not warded. It makes it way much easier.
Let your allies cc the enemy or ket them try and bait. Head in with FLASH>E>QQ>W>A>Q and if your ally can finish the kill , let them, if they cannot use Blade Of the Exile.
Ofc when your ganking make sure your lane is not being pushed and you have a clean escape if things get sour.
Back to Top

Mid Game.

Around the twenty minute mark you should be looking into taking out the enemy top tower.
Once you hsve completed this , start roaming. Rack up as much kills as you can to get your build done with.
Back to Top

Late Game

Late game teamfights should always start with your tank initiating , head in with Blade of The Exile and use your burst combo on those annoying squishie ADC and APC bastards.
Use your kiting potential to initiate fights if you can.
Back to Top

Closing Statement

Riven can be very game changing if built the right way. This guide should help you Redeem yourself in the battle field.
Remember this was my first guide so it isnt completley pro.
Cheers anx cy'all in my next one.
