I don't deal damage. Help?

Asked by Darvlar on August 1, 2018

So, I've just started playing Riven. Watched a TON of videos on her combos etc.... building Cleaver, Hydra etc.. yet I deal so little damage. In the videos I watch, the players are dealing massive damage by level 10 and when I do it, i am basically tickling them.

The runes I run are:
Precision- Conqueror, Triumph, legend: Alacrity, Coup De Grace
Sorcery- Transcendence, scorch

What am i doing wrong? Please help a brother out guys. Thanks in advance.

Same bro but I saw in a video that a lot of Riven's damage comes from her autos (you get like 20 extra damage lvl 1). I also saw Viper using Spellbook like every game so I tried it and it's actually really good to get first blood with ignite and then swap to TP later on.

Hell yeah, spellbook is insane on riven!

A few possible causes:

Your farm and gold income is lower than the players you watch, so you get your items later when enemies have more health and armor.
You're not comboing properly / you're cancelling autoattacks during your combo.
You're not prepping Conqueror before you trade or you use a lot of your abilities before proccing it with an autoattack.

Those are my best guesses. Hard to know for sure without seeing gameplay. Also check what kind of enemies are targeted in the Riven videos you're watching. Obviously comboing a is going to look a lot stronger than a full rotation against a . ;)
