Fiora
Fiora used to be easy, now it's quite the matchup for Riven. With her rework, her W ripostes stun back to the opponent, she will 100% stun you if you 3rd Q into her, try to bait W out or just don't 3rd Q her while trading. Also you can QSS her ult, so she doesn't shred you and heal herself.
Introduction
I'm currently Diamond 5 on Brazil (eNi Pinkman), and i was Master Tier on Season 4 ending, and Diamond 1 on Season 5 ending. Well, let's do this! My english is bad so i should fail at some parts.
Before you start, this guide is based on MY perspective, so if i find for example Pantheon matchup horrible, you may think its easy, but not for me.
There's 2 item builds now! I finally updated it to Season 6.
The vs. Tanks and the vs. Squishes.
Note yourself that you don't need always to do the vs. Tanks build vs. Renekton, you could just go full AD and isntagib their carries! It's up to you.
Don't forget to read the NOTES! Those are really important and helpful.

This is the rune page i currently use, different from the build.
The one from the build is 5% flat and 5% scaling.
This one is 7,5% flat and 5% scaling (i'm sacrificing 2,5% CDR for earlier cdr)
With my runebuild i'm able to have 45% CDR lvl 9 easily, using this math:
7,5% flat + 2,5% scaling (i'm level 9 so it gives around 2,43% cdr) + 5% masteries (if running thunderlords) + youmuu's ghost blade (10%) + black cleaver (20%) = 45% CDR Level 9
Well it might be a waste for some Riven mains, i'm pretty used to this one, i kinda love it.
If you dont like this runepage, just switch the CDR quint for a AD quint.

PRO
- Insanely high damage
- High mobility
- Can be built either Assassin or Bruiser
- Fast cooldowns if built correctly
- Push lanes using

- Fun to play/Play maker!
CON
- Cooldown dependent
- Highly countered by CC
- Low natural sustain
- May be useless without flash on poke fights
- Depending on playstyle could be dependent on

Many good combos of Riven requires animation canceling, i'm going to put some basic ones!
Maybe i'll have some vids added later.
REMEMBER!!! NEVER USE ALL
