Riven Build Guide : [25.07] Become A Riven God :: League of Legends Strategy Builds

|

Hello, the build suggestion is good, but it would be more useful if there was a more detailed guide such as which items to choose according to the opponents. Yes, there is a detailed description at the bottom, but unfortunately there is no guidance on which build should be applied against the opponents.

The problem with creating something like that is that it very easily and very quickly becomes outdated. From that point on it gives not only outdating advice, but wrong advice. On top of this, Fixing it is never easy. It often results in rewriting the entire sections 5-6 times a season. Whereas up top in the drop down sections I can pretty easily show a few builds and give explanations on when to use them.

Nice build id just change the haste in the runes with attack speed since you'll have 100 ability haste anyways. :)

It's pretty up in the air as to which is best. The 8 ability haste helps you hit the sweet spot sooner. That can be more valuable than the Attack speed in certain matchups. Against squishy-ranged champions, the AD is superior due to short but impactful trades.

is conq better than elec?

1

(39) |

Depends on your playstyle. If you're going to do mostly short trades, elec is best. If you're looking to slap it out till a second rotation Conq is better. If you're going to play more cooldown oriented, Elec is best.

What runes do you recommend with the lethality build?

2

(39) |

I've found a better damage build than the lethality. You can see it under the test build now. This allows you to go ham on certain targets. You can use Galeforce to engage or disengage or finish a target. I've found it much more satisfying and practical than the meta build.

ez win against gnar

Good **** bro, glad it worked out for you! Gnar is usually a skill matchup so I'm glad you crushed it!

this is a very different build! Looks like it could work though so I'll try it out in norms, also this is one of the only guides without youmuus which is insanely busted and it has hullbreaker which I don't think is very good on riven because she isn't suited to splitpushing

1

(39) |

Youmuu's is a good item, but it doesn't offer any durability. It gives ability haste, but in my build, you need no additional Ability haste.

You end up getting at least 78 Ability Haste. At this point you have about 45% CDR. If you want to surpass this value, it will cost you. For just another 10% cdr you need more than 40 Ability haste, which would be Black cleaver and youmuu's. While these aren't incredibly intensive on the build's resources, they do sacrifice quite a bit in gold efficiency and acquiration of stats.

Where something like Hullbreaker gives >198% gold efficiency, Youmuu's (99% (in combat) -127% (out of combat) and Black Cleaver (105%) pale in comparison of gold efficiency. Hullbreaker also costs less than either of these making the power spike much sooner.

Have you ended up trying it out? How did it go? The playstyle to make it work properly is much more split focused, but often I've found that's ideal anyways.

I've tried it out in flex and I can only make it work when I'm super fed but then I don't want to group which is usually what I like to do on riven, it's a very different playstyle that's for sure

Incomplete, and is not simple. EDIT: They have listened to my pleas and my suggestions, Therefore the guide is now simple, AND complete.

1

(39) |

How so? On either accord. I would say something that considers itself complete may be simple but in that simplicity, worthless. Times change, as do information. Even people change. So anything that truly considers itself complete is worthless in a matter of time.

Idk if you updated it or not, cuz i think it looks better now? anywho I'd like to see those "Full Build Example" thingies, since usually i just pop this durin the match and dont have much time to read everything, so i want things simple. Also having situational, best against, worst against, kinda item lists.

I'm always updating it. I try to keep things as simple as possible within reason. Your requests seem contradictory in and of themselves, and my goal of brevity. To fully explain what you ask would require likely 30,000+ characters. No one would ever be able to read it all with a normal attention span. I do, however, have a matchup guide on another page (linked in the guide) that is similar to what you request but offering it instead.

Fair enough. I still stand by my point of "Full Build examples" these are extremely important, i see the guide looks much much better now which is wonderful. Then again the items are very important, and there should be a certain build or item to build against certain match ups. For example, Buy antiheal against Aatrox even if you are much ahead, since you could still lose thanks to that. Buying that anti cc item for mordekaiser R. If you do make those full builds, then by all means you deserve a vote, a pleasant comment, and all the good stuff. You will have made a 10/10 Guide. (in my eyes at least.)

I don't mean to seem condescending, but to anyone who knows the game even reasonably, these options are obvious. I have added the full build versions as requested, though I see it strange to repeat the core and boots twice.

2

(1) |

Of course they are, but still, if im trying to find the best choice overall, some meta changes, some items nerfed, or if i dont know what the champ is about at all, dont have expereince with them (rivens i see are weird, lethality, some stridebreaker sometimes, eclipse... sheesh.) Anyways, your guide is officially Upvoted by me, And i will be editing my review into a proper, Praising one.

I have a problem, I haven't really played riven too much but I play her sometimes but I always feel like the auto-attack is too slow any recommendation on that?

1

(39) |

Her base Attack Speed is rather slow. Against characters with faster attack speed, often kiting around them will allow you to get the same damage amount while slowing down their damage due to them having to walk and then auto. Now, during the fast q combo, her Attack Speed is very high assuming you do it well.

After the nerfs to goredrinker and ravenous hydra on patch 11.3, does the build path differ?

1

(39) |

I would presume so. Some people will still probably swear by the rav gore build. I think there will be other options, not many though. I'll get into testing here soon since the patch just dropped.

When do I use the out of spite build?

1

(39) |

The out of spite build is an alternative to the normal goredrinker build. It deals an incredible amount of damage, but obviously isn't quite as durable. It takes a little more precision to pilot.

Use it into champions that would win short fights, the best example being Veigar or fed ADCS. Into situations like those you want to kill your target and be able to take down the rest, this build allows you to do just that.

Into a heavy tank comp, the normal goredrinker build would likely be the best.

Unfortunately, I can't help with much more than an upvote. You provide lots of information, all of which is up to date and correct. The only problem some people may have with the guide is the fact that the videos aren't made by you, therefore it's not "your work". I can only give you an upvote and just a round of applause.

(39) |

How many videos aren't made by me? I counted 12 not made by me and 23 made by me.

The only things not made by me are videos that I don't believe I could execute better.
I do appreciate your comment and upvote though :)

Well, either you didn't understand or I wasn't clear enough. The guide is flawless, but if it were for an individual to search for something bad, he'd most likely point out the fact that you used the videos of other players. He'd point this thing out because there's(in my opinion) virtually nothing wrong with your guide. I don't think using those videos is a problem but some people may bring that up just to be able to say the guide isn't perfect(which is).

That means a lot Pepsi, but if my guide is perfect, then I can't improve it. Vynertje is right in a lot of senses, and even if she weren't I'd prefer her answer.

While I love the idea of my guide being flawless, I know it's not true and that Vynertje will review it soon and really wreck some havoc I'm sure xD.

With all due respect to Seth and you, but if you think this guide is flawless (or any guide in that regard), you're just not looking close enough. I'm not saying it is bad (because it is not), but there are definitely sections that can be improved: based on FACTUAL information (therefore not subjective). I honestly feel like that if you're not spotting these things, you're severely lacking as a reviewer. I'm not saying this to diss either of you; not a single guide out there is flawless, not even the guide contest winners (which I judged and had to review in-depth).

Yes, I know not any guide is flawless. Upon doing a complete overhaul and excessive skimming I didn't believe that I phrased things poorly or had coding/spelling errors detracting from my guide. At least nothing that I haven't glazed over before. That's why I decided to ask reviewers. I don't think Pepsi did a bad job reviewing my guide, but usually even with the best guides, there are many things that can be better.
