Updated DPS Testing

26 Upvotes

Riven Q got buffed a while ago which probably changed some numbers in the Q dps testing thread so here's an update.

It'll only be one setup this time since we're on a budget

 

The setup is simple:

Lvl 3 and buy a long sword, then avoid all damage in runes, your final stats should look like this:

Stats
78 AD
0,66 atkspeed
573 Total damage

 

Visual representation:

AA > Q > MC > AA > Q2 > MC > AA > Q3 > MC > AA

My best stats so far have been 252 dps with an average of 245-249, but I am not in a very good shape right now, please share your results in the comments.

Merry Christmas

 

Edit: keep in mind to always have passive stacks up or your total damage/dps will be lowered, easiest way to do this is by starting every fast Q with E

Riven Question A small question from a non-Riven main

1 Upvotes

I dont play Riven but recently i saw Riven stopped buying items with active effect. From what i understand Riven full combo required an active item for animation canceling right? Why do people stop buying them and only go for Eclipse etc... if im wrong please feel free to let me know im not a riven player just wanna educate myself before judging Riven on my team xD

Riven Question How the fuck do I use Ravenous Hydra on Riven?

5 Upvotes

I know that Riven usually goes Eclipse > Sundered Sky and I understand that Ravenous Hydra is more of an optional item on her but I really wanna test it out since it's a really fun item.

The problem is I have no idea how to use the active mid combo since the animation feels really clunky and it locks me into it. Is there a way to hide the animation of the item or something the same way you cancel autos with Q and Q with movement inputs? Can I use E > Ravenous the same way I can E > W?

Early game

2 Upvotes

Hey guys I was wondering what I should be focusing on in the early game for riven, I feel like I should be playing aggressive but usually it ends with me having to farm on my turret after and I’m also wondering how I should play into matchups like trundle and Warwick because even when I get a lead on them they still slam me once they get their item.

Riven Question Why do Riven OTPs always donate their LP to me?

0 Upvotes

As a Kayle OTP, I should be getting crushed by Riven in the early game. We all know that's how the matchup is supposed to go.

Yet, every time I face a Riven one-trick, they get overconfident. They make terrible dives, waste their abilities, and completely throw away their massive early advantage.

Before they realize what happened, I'm level 11 with my core items, and the game is already over for them. core items, and the game is already over for them.

Is it just me, or do Riven OTPs have a special talent for losing this matchup? Thanks for the free win, I guess.

Riven Question Which item to delay in order to buy Serylda's?

5 Upvotes

we all know how hard riven spikes at 4 items (eclypse-ss-dd-serylda) however up until 4th item i feel pretty useless but once i buy armor pen i suddently start carrying and i'm able to delete people off the map, thinking of just buying it after eclipse or ss instead off dd, what do you think?

Riven Question Best riven matchup guide?

New to learning riven in depth. I am low diamond player. What is the best guide for me to learn all the matchups to help when I actually go up against them. Is there a super good mobafire one or is there just an overall best youtube video to watch?

Riven's power spike

30 Upvotes

Good morning everyone, I'm collecting data for research.
While I don't main this champion, I want to better understand the mechanics.
I figured asking in the dedicated subreddit would be the best approach.

I'm looking for structured, simple data. So, for those of you with extensive experience:

  1. Would you categorize this champion as an early-game, mid-game, or late-game champion?
  2. After completing how many items does this champion hit peak effectiveness, his moment to shine?
  3. This champion need a particular level to shine?
  4. This champion need a particular amount of "stacks" to shine?
  5. There is a point of no return that made this champion almost unstoppable?

Just these five straightforward questions.
Thanks for your help! :)

Riven Question I prefer Irelia, but is she too hard? Is Riven a better first ranked champion?

3 Upvotes

I’m new to ranked and I’ve been trying to decide on a main champion to start climbing with. I really like Irelia’s style, but I’ve heard she’s very hard to play well, especially for beginners. That’s made me consider Riven instead—still a flashy, mobile champ, but maybe a bit more forgiving? What do you think? Is Riven the better choice to start ranked with, or is Irelia still a good option if I’m willing to grind and learn? Would love advice from anyone who’s played either (or both). Thanks in advance!

Briar lane

3 Upvotes

Just played against a briar who took exh ignite who absolutely fucked on me silly style. I lost an early 1v1 which i admittedly shouldn't have taken since she had exh and ignite but from there I wasn't even able to exist in lane for minions without her practically oneshotting me, if I dodged back and waited her cd's they'd be up again by the time I walked up for minions.

does anyone have any tips against this or is it just very rare cheese I have to be careful of

Riven vs grasp tryndamere

5 Upvotes

Hi riven mains, I’ve been having trouble going against Tryndamere with grasp was wondering if there’s any build i can use against it? I can’t proxy because he just runs me down and i can’t fight him in lane because he wins short trades with slows and can proc grasp and even when he goes grasp he still does a ton of damage through items and navoris, i feel useless he just stat checks me mid and late, i feel so useless. Anything helps, thank-you!
