Riven builds AD AD AD AD AD AD AD GA AD AD AD AD AD AD.

She snowballs sooo hard, if u die once against her, she's gonna be ridicolously strong and u're not gonna have a chance in lane.
A good tip as ashe is to get a mid-game Guardian Angel It's a very underrated item on AD-carries, gives good stats and makes u survive the first combo from riven(this is if riven gets fed) zeal->IE->Phantom-> Guardian Angel
If u manage to land a good stun on riven and focus fire her, she's deadmeat!

I think they meant get the Phantom Dancer for Ashe? And Guardian Armour early... I can see the sense in it, I sometimes feel i must go pure AD or else Ashe won't be able to stand against someone like Caitlyn (Obviously that is situational though)

Standard Riven build:
Bloodthirster + GA + LW then w/e your team needs
If squishy you can go Infinity Edge
If tanky go Frozen Mallet + Atma's


When you're playing Ashe and you have an enemy Riven just make sure she doesn't jump on you. You have to play safe, or make sure when she jumps on you she can't get out.

OK Riven can be really OP.BUT :
-thats only than you feed her.
You can easily kill her with a stun or sth. like that.
Then its to hard for you to kill her, then just switch the lane with a teammate.
Not every champ is good vs other champs.Its just the way you play them... .

I've decided she's going to be the next champion i purchase. Partly because she's powerful and partly because her voice actress is well... nice on the eyes :)

Does Riven normally take the Blood Thirster first then? Or does she stack boots/3x pots, 2 Dorans Blades, B.F.Sword then BT and so on?

To be honest, kiting a champion with 4 gap closers is next to impossible.

Any champ is op if played well.
and riven doesn't have ap or anything btw,
She is offtank which means tanky dps. She starts snowballing alot at around level 3.
She has great cc.
She is also known as queen of solo top. She is sustainable enough to outlane most champs at top. ( having no mana, hp/lifesteal, etc.) however some may jungle her, some may even go bot with her. But my fav lane with her is top.

If your playing against riven what you need to do is, especially as ashe you need keep your range not only against riven playing ad ranged carry means your squishy and most damage dealer in your team which means you will be targeted the most. Make sure you have the right positioning during teamfights/etc.

Great choice (: She was also the first solo top i bought. (like 8 months ago or so.)

and Different people have different builds..

I usually start with a dr then go for lucidity boots/wriggles/fm/atmas/mawofmal/warmogs or ga situational.
