Kled is just another early game bully.His Q nerf makes him to go into Major threat instead of Extreme. You want to trade with him only when his W is down. Its passive ability so he must use it if he want to take the creep.If he dismounts from chicken you must kill him very fast if u have all of ur abilities up,if not,wait for them and dont trade until then.
Garen
If ure not a good Riven player,he will always be an extreme threat. His Q silence and E is so good for short trades against Riven. You can EW his Q and u want to go into extended trade or all in just when his E is on cooldown,instead you wont win that.
Ornn
Hes not really an extreme threat since his early level is so weak and Riven can get at least one kill at first 3 levels.When he goes back for the first time,wihout jungle,you really dont want to trade with him. Use your wave clear advantage and get some deep vision or roam. U dont really need to win the lane.
Maokai
Make sure you get executioners in laning phase.Dont go into bushes and dont fight him after level 3,try to get level 6 first and all in him.After that u cant really kill him,similar to Ornn matchup.Use ur wave clear advantage and roam on other lanes.
Aatrox
Early 3 levels Riven beats him so hard.Play around his Q cooldown.If he uses Q 3 times on minion wave,you have 14 seconds window to trade him,dodge his Q's and try to play around his cooldows early game.Get executioners and dont give him to farm,instead he will outscale your whole team.
Fiora
I put her into extreme threat just becouse her scaling.Try to dodge her level 1 Q and than all in her with ur fast Q combo.At level 3 and 6 Riven is stronger but u need to bait her W,thats ur window for fight.After level 11 she often outscales you so dont fight,play around objectives and help your teammates while she tries to scale,end the game into 25 minutes if possible
Darius
So easy matchup for me,dont go first into trade.If he uses Q just go into him and all in,nothing he can do about it.
Mordekaiser
I never knew to play this matchup good. He have armor,he have shield,he slows,he deals damage,he outscales you. Just so broken champion. Try to get some early level kills and trades.When he uses his Q thats ur window for some potential trade.All in him if he uses his E
Gnar
Poke matchup,dont fight the mega gnar. All in gnar is so easy but make sure u bait his jump before that,nothing he can do about it.
Teemo
Get second wind and dorans shield,get some cooldown items and all in him when he overextend,easy mathup
Gangplank
Another super scaling champion.Make sure u have dorans shield and second wind,maybe take first ability E to shield his early Q,s,trade him at level 3 and if u survive until level 6 just all in him
Kennen
This guy pisses off every Riven player,make sure u buy mercury treads for his high CC
Jax
Jax is another easy early game matchup. Bait his E and all in him. He outscales you at level 11 so make sure hes behind if u want to win the game.
Heimerdinger
He isnt doing great in meta so hes not playable at top(thanks god) but hes an extreme threat to Riven.Try to fight him only if his E is on cooldown and if he dont have stopwatch/zhonyas.
Irelia
Skilled Irelia players are major threat,others are tiny. Fight only if she misses E and avoid fights when she have full stacked passive
Lucian
Nothing to say. Lucian top players are smalldicks who get stomped every game,fight at level 1 and 2,go into a bush before the minions spawn and try to kill him or at least get his flash level 1.If u made this work laning phase for him is over. If u get his flash just wait for your jungler and u have free kill.
Olaf
I have 0% lane winrate against this champion.He is so broken.Try to dodge his Q's and wait for jungler,dont fight early levels
Poppy
Poppy is good against Riven but bad Riven players dont know how to play this matchup.Early game even if she manages to stun you and get Q on you,she will get you to 40-30% hp and 90% players will back off,just run for trade back becouse early game Riven have more damage. After first back dont fight,farm and try to get some sweet teleport on bot lane.Do something else on map when u get lane priority.
Yasuo
Dont fight level 1 and 2 becouse he is stronger.After level 3 he is easy.Just quick trade him whole time,all in him when he's low enough.Dont throw ur second cast of ultimate becouse he will windwall,just wait for that windwall and ult him.
Nasus
If u know wave magament this should be easy.If u have jg premade just babysit this guy.After level 6 you cant fight him and he outscales you.Before level 6 hes easy.
Illaoi
If she misses her E,all in her.If she get you with E,just run away.
Dr. Mundo
Dodge his Q,buy executiners calling.Full health mundo loses to full health riven. 70% hp Riven loses to mundo.
Jayce
Lane bully. Dont fight,you outscale him.
Urgot
If he misses his E stun,he loses. Dodge his Qs and fight early levels.He outscales you.
Tryndamere
Fight him pre level 6 only if his fury is down. Full fury Trynda wins against Riven pre 6.But no fury trynda always loses.
Yorick
If he misses his E hes killable.
Quinn
If she manages her E properly,you cant win fights.If u bait her E without using abilities,shes easy.
Vayne
Make sure u bait her E before all in her. If she dont have E Riven wins,if she have,Vayne wins.
Vladimir
Early levels,if played properly,he is easy,bait his pool and then all in him,avoid taking free damage from him.Use minions to block his E.Buy executioners and try to end the game before he outscales all in your team.
Wukong
Hes bad at short trades while Riven is so good at it.His passive makes him so strong in extented fights.Thats your window to kill him.
Malphite
Block his Q damage with ur E,play around his mana in early game.When he starts to build armor you cant kill him,play around other lanes and objectives.
Renekton
Insanely broken but u can win against him easy if u play properly.Take bone playing instead of second wind.He falls late game. Take 2 armor and 1 adaptive force,if u shield his W with bone plating and your E,you can win the trade.
Camille
If you bait her shield you win.
Sett
Bait his W and then fight him
Pantheon
Dodge his Q.First back buy ninja tabi and he loses
Shen
If he misses taunt hes killable.Dont let him get his Q through you.
Rumble
If his Q is on cooldown you can trade him.If he gets behind you win.
Singed
Dont chase him.When he goes for last hit all in him or at least trade.He cant win that fights.
Cho'Gath
If he misses Q you can win,instead u cant.
Kayle
Early game so easy,before level 6 always trade her and dont let her farm.She outscales you so make sure u end the game before level 16.
