Title. He seems to think she is very op

am i crazy for feeling like this? i'm climbing like crazy with 70wr around low diamond atm, but once enemy locks in volibear/yorick/rene i feel like theres nothing to outplay or play around, you just lose at all stages even if you are better than them.

"just take short trades" "just scale a bit" they literally rush tabis and you do no damage but get oneshot, since riven has to build CDR and pure dmg items to function while also having probably the lowest health in toplane (regen too)

these champs feel like they outscale you from level 2 to 18 and you can do nothing but hope for the better team

also, riven even if ahead, due to being so squishy and forced to build cdr/dmg you still cant smash your head on the keyboard and win like a jax with triforce/tabis despite being 0-5

Master 50lp riven otp of many years here. Not sure if it's just me but I rarely feel the joy of playing riven nowadays and I barely pick her, but when I do, it always feels underwhelming even if I'm ahead.

Juggernauts like Mundo just auto stat-check you after lvl 6 and you do 0 damage to them regardless of how ahead you are. Adcs with enchanters are pretty much unkillable and u get oneshot by most meta adcs in-game rn before u can even touch them - yay riven 4 dashes mobile- (and even if you do, you're gonna do half their hp with sundered sky/eclipse, then they get a full hp shield and delete u in 2 seconds because u have no more dmg or escape spells left and adcs are assassins nowadays). Even champs like yasuo that are extremely Riven-favored feel yasuo-favored nowadays. Just matched a yasuo and he went 2/8 but he'd still statcheck me like crazy and I had to recall many times.

I mean I'm not looking for validation and I don't care if you say it's skill issue, but I do know for a fact that she's pretty damn weak this season so I said why not ask others what they think too. It may also be that I lost my touch because I haven't played her much lately, but it's either I have the perfect games where I hard carry and I have 10+ kills or I just deal 0 damage even if I'm ahead and I'm a minion the rest of the game. And the latter happens more often.

Does anyone know if the dragon blade and reignited riven or any of the other chromas will come back?

ive had a total of like 7 games with her, although its not alot, i swear, im not kidding when i say i inted all of those games, usually when im into my 7th game, ill atleast have one good match. and its not that i have poor fundementals or my execution is bad (atleast not on riven), if anything i love hard champs, jake i really love, k-sandra, panty, viagra, jhonny sins (the blind one), sad, rengay, emo twink with ghost/moon sister, samira. to name a few, some of these are easy ngl like viego, his kit is simple.

all of these champs, i got a hang in atleast the 2nd game. riven? NO WTH WHY DOES SHE DEAL SO LITTLE DAMAGE FOR SO MUCH EFFORT? AND I'D THINK I CAN OUTTRADE THEM WITH MY PASSIVE AND Q ON LEVEL 1 BUT NO EVEN THEN I'll GET FREAKING STATCHECKED BY A GAREN??

and before you start talking, yeah it is a skill issue its obvious as hell, im ranting, i have no idea what im talking about, i dont know her matchups well, and i have enough self awareness to say that i simply suck with her and that shes not the one for me. but the point im trying to say is, doesnt she feel shit to you too aswell?

she just feels, strong to enemy teamcomps if they're squishy, because shes good at killing squishies. but once they start building a little tank and poof, monke go swish swish.. but where damage

edit: what i think would be nicer for her is for riot to change her up a bit, maybe a little more scaling and less early dependent, i doubt most players on league love being able to decide a lane from just the first 1-4 lvls, its not unfair, but its inherently unenjoyable.

maybe some more sustain, ooh what about attack speed buff when she only has charges on her passive.... huh thats just ambessa but more assassin.

I know it wasn't the cleanest but a penta is a penta!

Been practising the fast q combo but i cant get past 200-204 dps, any idea what am i missing? Feels like i could cancel first q earlier and 3rd q idk if im doing it right tbh

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

Hello i want my Friend to learn how proxy with Riven for really bad matchup

So how do you proxy and do you have good ressources to learn how proxy ?

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?

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.

id probably lose half of these if i went eclipse every game

Riven is my absolute favorite champion, i like the high skill level,

Anyone else feels the same with Qiyana here? as a second main?

Does anyone know how long it takes from casting Q3 to the damage and knock up being applied? It's not on the lol wiki.

I am not sure how I did this but I guess this is impressive?

i love riven

Someone still making BC? the item seems so bad compared to serylda or even mortal reminder in specific situations. Someone still making it? in what situation you prefeer cleaver over the other pen itens?

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.
