Gave a +1. The only thing I dont like is starting with the life steal item. If your opponents' lane composition is such where you cant even get close to minions then you won't be able to replace HP with the life steal. I think going cloth armor and 5 hp pots is better for top, but that's me.
Well, Countersnipe, that would depend on the champion you are facing on the lane, but, believe me, i think i have played against all probably solo-top champions (i even played against kennen solo top already -.^),and there was no champ that could push me so hard that I couldn't take advantage of my lifesteal.
And, in fact, if you're a usual ranked player, you will know that it's not on anyone's interess to push the solo-lane so much because.... you will get ganked.
So, if you are being push and cant farm/get hp from minions, well, just ask your jungler for a gank, and it will even be easier for you..
And btw, thanks for the +1
why warmog+frozen mallet without atma?
Hm, I understand your doubt here, but you see, I don't think you should buy Atma's just because you have Warmog and Frozen Mallet. I buy warmog's to get more tanky and be able to help my team longer in teamfights, and the Frozen Mallet as quite the same effect, but i choose it instead of, for example Sunfire cape, because of the passive. That slow you help you chase any low-health runners, or help you run away yourself if you are trouble.
And as for the Atma's... well, first off, It's very, VERY rare for some game to last long enough for me to complete this build, so I don't even get to think about buying atma's. And even if the game got there, Wriggle's lantern would still be a very good item to have, because it will allow you to have your 33% lifesteal, and that free ward every 3minutes, which will be very helpful to give you map control.
Still, I agree that it wouldn't be a bad idea to sell wriggle's lantern and get atma's, but you will almost never get that late into the game, and I don't think atmas is more important then Warmogs or Frozen mallet, to switch their priority in build.
Although, I will change a little and mention this on the build
Thanks.
First of all in this sentence but after many games played with riven, i find this to be very good. take out the but :P you dont start a phrase in English with But,ok we do it but not in guides that everyone can read :P.
Also since you buy the lattern you could add a paragraph on where to ward on solo top with your free lattern ward!
Keep up the guiding.
Thanks for the warning :) I corrected it to something that I think is more correct now. As for the "where to ward" paragraph, I was thinking about making it, but when i started making this guide, it was very late already so i left some changes to make today, just wanted to publish so I could see what people tought of my guide.
Thanks for the tip :)
