Introduction:
Greetings, just a short statement that I am not a pro nor do I claim to think as good as them. Take my build with a grain of salt in those aspects. I simply enjoy Riven and wanted to share the way I build her and the thought process that went into my decisions. That being said this is not the only way or even the "best" way to build Riven as far as I know. Part of the game is adapting to your own needs and building according to your enemies.



















Mastery trees recently got revamped. I'm sure many people are still experimenting with what works the best. I updated them to reflect what I currently use. But otherwise I'm still trying out different combinations. There seems to be little point in going Utility anymore, the exp boost is far out of reach to be worthwhile.
The runes I chose to use are what I think fit Riven quite well. Remember that these might not appeal to you or your play style feel free to experiment you might find something that works way better than what I use.
Greater Mark of Desolation - ArPen is an amazing stat on most ADs. Now you might be asking, "But Riven mainly uses skills and AD runes complement that better". Sure AD runes are good considering Riven even has an AD ratio on
however keep in mind you will be auto attacking with your passive up to properly maximize dps.
Greater Seal of Vitality - These I've found to be quite nice considering you start with Doran's you will only get more tanky. And Riven's downside as a melee is that before you max
you are a bit squishy.
- These accent Riven so well with
and
you'll be hitting close to the CDR cap which is bad news for your opponents.
Greater Quintessence of Desolation - Self explanatory see the ArPen marks. I feel there are quite a few quintessences Riven could benefit from. The others I would recommend would be
or
either if you want to be more tanky or have increased mobility. I like ArPen because it makes you such a threat even against opponents with a good chunk of armor.

Okay so you've stepped away from the 20 minute farm fest and are all grouping up and trying to push turrets or secure buffs/dragon/baron/etc. What do you do now? What is Riven's role in teamfights? I'll tell you! Riven excels at disrupting you can knock opponents around and temporarily stun multiple enemies. I've interrupted a lot of things that probably would have wiped out our team. Found a
at wraiths about to
out into mid, so I hit
and proceeded to kill him while his game breaking ult got ruined. Is
using
to kill off one of your teammates? Hit
x3 and stop him! Riven has many uses be sure to take advantage of them and don't mindlessly use your cooldowns on suboptimal targets. Be smart and play smart! It's as simple as that.
