I would like to say this guide is pretty poor it has few match ups for riven mid, I asked all the Riven mains on General Discussion on Riven mid and they told me "She sucks vs anyone with poke and self peel" this author needs to include more match ups

If you are foreign that is amazing English, if not it's alright. I found a lot of stuff wrong however, so here it is.
* Doran's shield should not be a start. Cloth 5 instead (chain if hard)
* I don't believe Zephyr is ever a good item on Riven
* Sunfire and thornmail are inconsistent
* Zhonya's is horrible unless you are 1v1'ing a zed or maybe a veigar, even with veigar you would most likely be stunned and building armor isn't effective against him. The stasis isn't worth losing 500 hp and 20 armor along with the passive and active of something like a randuins in 99% of situations. Along with Zed can easily be outplayed with a simple w and e out. Talon can also be outplayed the same way.
* I really don't believe butcher and feast are good in the offensive tree except in EXTREMELY specific circumstances, even then they are inconsistent and can be better spent elsewhere.
Not having a single point in warlord is rather wasteful
* If you use that mastery page for every match up then why not put it as your main? In the cheat sheet?
* Why leave out dangerous game when it can rather often withhold 300 g from opponent and give you a cs, gold, and experience lead. Along with just not dying.
* Its been season 5 for a while. No updates? I saw you updated it but your log is extremely out of date
* I think GA should be present as a default defense item
* The counters, even, favorable, and synergy sections are out of date.
* Veigar is no longer a counter, quinn and lulu have dropped from the meta. There are no jungle counters
* All of the ones you stated to be even can be outplayed with ease depending on skill level of the two.
* Favorable is meh. Lux can destroy you if you dive, there's no warning for that. One q and your lane is ****ed
* Kass and orianna can just farm from a distance permanantly and scale well. The synergy is off. Amumu and lulu aren't really that good with Riven and lee is inconsistent
* The biggest strength to Riven Mid is roaming. I feel like there should be something about that.
* Walljumps are not extensive, you missed a ton.
* You never talked about any of the combo's in a separate section. The main thing I saw was under talon's list.
* You never said anything about if you lose lane where do you go from there.
* Grouping/sieging section is too concise, Nor do you mention taking jungle camps as an option.
* Late game advice is extremely short. Teamfighting is a humongous part of Riven and thousands of Riven's struggle with it. You never specifically mentioned what a Riven should do in a teamfight, what all her options are.


Thank you my English is quite good then I guess :D. Secondly, I disagree with some of the things you wrote here, assuming equal skill then the lanes I wrote would be even, furthermore, Lulu and Amumu in my experiences with soloq and team rank have been very good together. Next school is a ***** so I dont have as much time as before so update progress very slow, especially since i havent really played league much since I hit diamond.

To be completely honest, I originally came to downvote just because I was salty about losing the top spot. I was like oh I'll look through his entire guide and find all the things wrong. Well.. I did that. In the progress I decided it's actually to great of a guide to downvote. I disagree with a bunch of the stuff you've done, but it seems pretty legit. I remember looking at this guide for advice for my own. I forgive your English mistakes because I assume you're foreign? Correct me if I'm wrong. If you are foreign that is amazing English, if not it's alright. The coding is just to damn good bro. I found a lot of stuff wrong however, so here it is.

Also, if any of this helped you I would really enjoy a vote on my own guide, or a review. I could use my first +rep as well. I don't usually do stuff like this.

My guide is the second best Riven guide (Riven top is what it's based on) Also did Riven jungle though.

Wait what why would i buy both that would make lw totally useless (dunno how to quote im new)

Normally this is what I would build in most games (ON AVERAGE, normally you WILL need to buy other things depending on the situation for example Maw of Malmortius) Ravenous Hydra -> The Brutalizer -> Ionian Boots of Lucidity -> Youmuu's Ghostblade -> Last Whisper -> Black Cleaver -> Guardian Angel
