Riven Build Guide by NeshkeBGD

Also liked this one so +1

But few points :P

*The image in pro's and con's is too big :P
*Work on line dividers, try to make them more even.

Good job bro.Writing is ok,coding is good and builds are great.

Good job!

Easy +1 in my book, especially liked the use of Ghost on her. I've always run Flash, but I don't know why I didn't think of Ghost. She's really hard to escape from/catch as it is, and it's really a good fit.

Build, masteries, and skill order all look good

Runes: You really need ad runes, at least for marks, probably also for quints. She gets ad ratios on literally every skill she has, even Valor. On an autoattacker like Yi or Ashe armor pen runes will increase general dmg output, but on Riven, flat ad is certainly the way to go. If you want armor pen, get a brutalizer early on, or a Last Whisper later, and that should definitely take care of anything you need.

Formatting could use some improvement, but nice use of pictures.

All in all a very impressive guide.

I like the build, already have a good handle on riven as she is my main, but i like to see what others are doing. i respectfully disagree with the skill order, however. i would say the normal harass combo for riven is QQQ for approach, then W to stun and E to dash out.

if you do the math then with this combo, even if you only land 2 of 3 Qs, it is better to lvl Q first and W afterwards. this is especially apparent by the time u max one of your skills (maxing Q first gives you 340 +1.7 bonus AD combo, maxing W first only gives 280). since there is no increased stun duration associated with lvling W it is more important to go with the dmg imo. i mostly use the E for the dash, so i level that last unless circumstances call for a stronger shield. but as a seasoned riven player i would say the shield isnt strong enough til late-game anyways.

once again, not saying you are wrong, just sayin what i have observed through many, many riven games

...I think that this build gives her too little attack damage than she sould have at lvl 18

Allow me to disagree, at least with the skill order.

You certainly get more damage when you use your Q's if you level them first, and you will always use that skill throughout the game, so you have a point there. However, The reason I (and most people I think) level W > E > Q is purely CD based.

Riven is a classic melee caster; a silenced Riven is way less effective. That means if she is waiting a couple more seconds for Valor and/or Ki Burst she will lose damage, utility, and the ability to chase/flee from/lock down foes.

Broken Wings is her only skill whose cd doesn't decrease as you level it up, which makes it a last priority (although I always start with it when I'm not jungling).

i personally like to play Riven but i some times don't know what to buy for doing her better, and i found your build very good. +1

Looks nice.

Good job man, think this is your best build so far. I take Trinity Force ofc as a last item, since i think that Frozen Mallet is a bit overkill on CC and HP.
