Sorry my guide's not gonna be as updated .-.

hardly have time to edit stuff

@vaga: i'll fix that asap

@ominous mao:
Yea the masteries are outdated :/

I'm not sure how jungling is done in s4 (cn hasn't patched yet), but in season 3 the general route was bottom buff --> top buff --> gank

Created an account just to tell you I love the build! =D
It's awesome, and I love using it to refer to while I'm learning Riven.
Thing is, the masteries for the jungling part need to be updated, and I was hoping you'd go into a little more depth in jungling if that wasn't too much to ask. ><
I like Riven a lot and would like to start jungling Riven, and out of all the guilds I'm pretty sure I trust your opinion the most.

You repeated yourself under the Kennen match-up:

"Just like any other ranged champion, if you are able to gapclose without using too much spells, you can deal a great amount of damage. Just like any other ranged champion, if you are able to gapclose without using too much spells, you can deal a great amount of damage."

@Staticfx: Sorry the info in the guide is very off atm :s

@Ichi: Normally a good build is brut --> BT --> Hydra atm (BRNA runs this)

Can you explain when to buy Hydra and when not? Or why you should buy it?
A friend of mine plays alot of Riven and when I asked for tipps, he said never buy a hydra.

In your Item section you talk about a 2nd BT, I tried to CTRL+F Hydra and only found the 2 in the cheat sheet

Move your points from Sunder and Sorcery to Summoner's Insight and Perseverance and you have perfection.

Love the guide, by the way. The roman numerals are oh-so stylish.

Also does your jungling section need updating? Or is it still good to start Wraiths/Wolves?

@Maltus:

Thanks!

I'm really against Frozen Mallet haha I really hate the item

Maltus | June 9, 2013 1:55pm
Great guide! The best part is, that you say, frozen mallet is a bad item on Riven! I totally agree with that.

Spirit of the Ancient Golem seems okay, I'll have to test it out some other time. Buying it would definitely be after BT though. I imagine an early kindlegem can be saved and built into that later.

Maxing Q has always been superior to W since the nerfs to Riven. This is because Riven's playstyle opts for unmatchable all-in which enemies need to take care for. If you max W you can harass easily but most enemies can easily all-in you after that and win. Duels will never extend for long periods of time enough for you to use W twice. Before W max was good because you could both easily all-in and have a strong burst as well. Ever since nerfs you couldn't do that anymore.

Hey, I like your guide, but I disagree about maxing Q over W. Mostly for the increased CD.

That aside, what do you think about going Ionian boots and later grabbing Spirit of the Ancient Golem for tenacity? These 2 items + Brutalizer + masteries end up granting 38% CDR.
