Although I don't actually play Riven, I find this guide pretty cool, because it talks about all the Riven counter (which helps me counter her when I need to)

good

I think this guide is good, I like how it describes some of the counters for threats(Though I would like to see more). For the synergies I would have liked to see some explanations and reasons why. I also would prefer there not to be so much fan art because I hade to do a lot of scrolling to find specific bits of information. Other than that this was really good.

Tear no longer has 750 stacks don't make me delete this guide for outdated information 🤬🤬

In This Guide There Are The Mythical Items :(

I like this guide, I'll try it later in a draft game :)

When do you decide to go Essence reaver on Riven? Is it based on matchup? I am new to Riven, and i like your guide, but don't know about E-reaver.

"Why this guide over every other Riven guide?"


Well firstly I won best guide for a champion in the top lane for S6 and S8 on MobaFire amidst fierce competition, I achieved high diamond playing mostly Riven in under 100 games with a 70% WR and finally I make sure to continue to improve whilst ensuring this guide stays just as updated as I am!

only took 12 months to 'revamp' my guide, everything should be up to date now (any feedback is welcomed)

But why hydra brother? I mean sometimes yeah but i think its better death-qss

bro,this build is so ****ing good.I like it

your matchups section is busted for me.

After playing so much riven through this year (basically started the game at the end of season 5) I spamed riven a lot since i like her so much. But i have still a few questions that tickles me.

First off i nearly always feel more comfortable playing full life steal rather than getting defensive items and while it works at my elo (GOLD V) does it turn into a bad thing when i get to higher elos? Generally i run BT Death Dance and sometimes also Mercurial Scimitar in one game giving me **** ton of life steal but often no form of defensive items. (but the scimitar)

Next after all those games i played with her, i noticed i was starting to win lanes that i normally weren't supposed to win, such as against trundle or Garen. I am extremely careful about how much i think i can do in order to not become the stupid typical feeding riven but a question popped in my mind, can i as Riven win any match ups as long as i play it right? Or are there match ups that no matter how i play them i will loose them from the champ select?

Now about the runes, i actually run a 9 Flat CDR glyphe + 1 Flat CDR quint page and i was wondering why you were thinking it was not worth it. Also why build the boots of lucidity for the 10% increased CDR when you can build a Death Dance or a Youmuu in order to cap at 45% CDR, making you be able to purchase extra tankiness through tabies or mercury's? Also added to the passive those gives.

And finally, well, for now XD;
I am actually a mid laner main and top lane is my second lane. I tried riven several times mid and got pretty good results most of the time, but how is riven mid exactly? (forgetting of course the fact that the team could be Full AD if i picked her, most of the time if i go riven mid the jungler or the top laner take something that deals magic damage.) From my point of view the fact that the mid laners are often ranged is a down side, but the fact that they stay squishy for a lot of them and that the zhonya isn't a big problem for riven is a good side. But how is it in truth?
