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)
@ LimitlessHavoc no free clout
oh **** I'm a fraud
Hey there! I'll build ER when up against a squishy enemy team/laner that I know can't really stack armour early or if I'm snowballing very hard early then I'll either build ER or youmuus into cleaver. Hope this helps.
"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!
This lane is pretty easy as long as you don't let him cheese you from level 1 to 2. Farm till level 3 making sure you stay behind your line of minions so that if he jumps on you he will draw minion agro. At level 3 trade him when he tries to cs and don't fight him if he has 3 or more stacks, also don't chase him when he's heading towards a bush as he can turn that chase around on you. At 6 you win hands down unless you somehow manage to misplay the lane, be careful if he is running Exhaust as that will hinder your ability to trade try to bait him to use it. This can be done through short trades which really abuse your low cooldowns. Getting Ninja Tabi can also help in this lane. When Rengar reaches 6 be careful as he can coordinate ganks with his jungler and gank any lane including yours! Make sure to signal when he is missing.
So the key points are,
Not getting cheesed early (1-2)
Not chasing him into bushes
Don't fight if he has 3 or more stacks
Signal when he's missing as early as possible
Be careful if he has exhaust or ignite as that will sway trades heavily in his favour
His empowered E can setup ganks for his jungler very easily so make sure to juke them
If you see him holding 5 stacks for an extended period of time take that as a sign that he may have back up or he believes he can kill you, so make sure to respect that
