Really easy. Harass early and punish him when he's trying to cs. He can only hit you or the minion generally he'll choose the minion giving you free room to harass him.
Malphite
Easy matchup, 3 Q's and he's out of mana so try to shield (E) when he uses it to neglect his damage and free harass after. Can get abit difficult when he's alot tankier.
Gangplank
Dodge barrels, break them, whatever. Just don't get hit by them, you outdamage him at all stages of the game.
Katarina
Pretty easy.
Gnar
He isn't very hard once you get ahead it's just that his constant poke through laning phase and his all in potential at level 6 can be very dangerous
Aatrox
Not hard, watchup for his ulti, poke and knockup and also take note of his bloodwell. you will want to take ignite versus him
Akali
Easy 1-5 but when she hits 6 she can be a real pain in the ass. take ignite
Camille
Just broken and annoying, play scared for a while until you have some items and can all in her. If shes gonna ult you flash towards your toward so the barrier is built under it making her useless. unless she's fed ofc then you're screwed
Yasuo
Skill matchup. the better player will win but generally you should win because of your ultimate, however if he dodges it or windwalls it then it'll be a lost fight
Darius
Personally I don't find him very hard to lane against but newer rivens might, take ignite and be aggressive. Try to Q into him when he uses his Q to stop his heal then stun him and do your combo + ignite. remember to always auto between skills to get the most damage possible.
Singed
Annoying. don't fight. wait for junglier.
Shaco
Pretty easy if he's not fed or all that good and in low elo it's rare to find a "good" shaco
Kayle
Kind of annoying early because of poke but given the opportunity to all in on her you should win.
Riven
Skill matchup. let the best riven win
Fiora
Skill matchup but in your favor. Fiora can only riposte one of your 3 abilities that you'd use against her so you should be fine. chances are she'll riposte your ultimate
Garen
Play safe, he's too tanky does a bit too much damage early and his ultimate is an execute that's pretty busted
Irelia
Skill matchup, whoever can snowball harder wins this but in your favor.
Illaoi
Easy ish matchup, try not to fight her when she has her E on you and ults. avoid everything and wait it out. Try to to use your E to dodge her Q's
Dr. Mundo
Free Lane
Graves
Hide behind minions and tower if he's pushed too hard. watch out for his smokescreen.
Heimerdinger
Annoying, engage on him once you're level 6. you will be able to kill him
Trundle
He's not so bad early but late game oh boy is this troll a pain in the ass. He's tanky, steals your resistances and movement speed, his pillar is team fight changing and can cancel your hard engage on his team.
Tryndamere
Free lane just play smart and at 6 try to burst him down and reach 6 before he is so control the creep waves and know when to push and when to freeze and when to let wave be pushed to you.
Jayce
Busted champ. Busted damage.
Renekton
Riven's true hard counter, out damaged out tanked out sustained.
Wukong
Shouldn't be too hard but his damage is alot if he's fed.
Nautilus
Too tanky and hard to kill, try to avoid fighting and just farm farm farm
Ekko
Free lane, dodge his q and avoid his w
Teemo
Yes he does poke a lot early and is annoying but given the chance to all in on him he will die 100%
Olaf
Don't fight him he'll win
Vi
Annoying and strong but fightable.
Nasus
E lane pressure Nasus is tanky as hell and does alot of early game damage which is why I had to add him twice
Jax
Extremely dangerous and snowbally lane. watch his E and Q
Poppy
Counters you with her W. Avoid walls because if she E's you into one its pretty much gg
Kennen
Not all that hard but definitely not easy
Yorick
Not hard. avoid all things and at level 6 be care for this ultimate it's a fight changer
Hi I'm the notorious F for Flash from Silver ELO. Some of you may have seen me in games I mostly play Riven and Yasuo in Top. I do play some AD Carries and Jungliers but this guide is about Riven :D . I'm 18 y/o from London and yes I do play on NA with my 99 ping, and on EUW i have around 20ish. My friends are the reason I stick with NA and it's more challenging in a way. I've been playing Riven since when I started league and I've loved her ever since. The famous players who inspired me to play her are BoxBox and The Shy. I used to sit and watch all their montages wishing I could do the cool plays that they did and after months of getting flamed and being called a wanna-be BoxBox i've finally "mastered" or atleast learnt all of her mechanics and pop off in almost every single game I pay as her be it norms or ranked.
