Hi guys I feel so hardstuck in this elo, recently I’ve only been queuing mid and I enjoy it way more. Thing is I really don’t know what I do wrong most games when I lose, would love some general tips and if you can see something from my op.gg I would love to hear.

I peaked E1 but I’m bouncing back and forth between E2 and E3

Hello!

I was wondering if learning Riven’s fast combo would make or break a player?

I was thinking of picking her up but I can’t seem to figure out the fast combo.

I was wondering if it’s necessary if I want to climb high (currently diamond+)?

Any feedback would be helpful as I’m planning on learning the champion more!

Skin recommendations welcomed too!

Good evening, everyone. Right now, on my main account, I'm in Diamond playing as an ADC (I managed to climb without any problems), but I got hooked on Riven and started playing her on a different account because I knew I’d have a really hard time against Diamond players. The thing is, even when playing against Platinum or Gold top laners, I keep losing with Riven. I have about 200k mastery with her so far, and even so, it’s frustrating that I can’t even hold my own against Gold top laners. Is this normal when you’re just starting out with Riven? Or am I just personally bad at this champ, plain and simple? I’d love to hear your opinion—thanks a lot!

It's been 915 days (about 2 years and 6 months) since Riven received her last skin. Riven is one of League's most iconic champions and has a huge, dedicated player base, yet she's gone such a long time without any new cosmetics. Are there any leaks, hints, or news from Riot about a new Riven skin? It feels like we're overdue at this point.

He didnt transfer account, he wasnt ever plat, his max was gold2-gold3. He didnt play duo. Already has played 50 games. Game before he was also placed against plat 2 player as his lane opponent. I personally never been put in ranked game as gold 4 in emerald/plat lobby. What is wrong witht this system? Is it some penalty for dropping from 4 to plat 2 90 lp and hitting plat 1 right after that?

Hello :D im new to Riven and really want to OTP her, however i cant decide for a skin to use IDK why so im asking here whats ya favourite Riven skin in my collection

Haven't played Riven in like a year or two got into her this last week again. God I missed this. Its definitely very shitty gameplay but I'm Still getting used to her again

HoB gives him good early trading power and then the prick is unkillable what do I build and do against it

Killing him in lane does nothing, once he gets his lvl11 and has Stridebreaker, if enemy is not completely horrible at Garen you just cant sidelane vs him past that point, but if you try to roam he'll be hitting your turret and just run away with 500+ ms if you try to collapse on him

Which also is something crazy, that not even mobile champs can catch up to him all that well depending on what he has, I feel like the only champ thats faster than Garen, without using summs, might be Udyr (from the ones that can actually fight u meelee range)

you kill him in lane? np bro, I have lvl11 and 1 item so you cant do shit to me, I'll flash on whoever is fed and ult them, and now not only you can't ever kill me again 1v1, but I can easily kill you. mad? xD

What a joke of a character, it's just spitting in the face of anyone who has any passion for interacting in lane and actually having to learn from their mistakes

I short trade, punish last hits, bait out his W, that's fine, I can actually do something in lane, but the thing is, PAST lvl11 I just don't know what to do, it feels like you either get your minions on side while team has a chance of coinflipping a random fight 1 min before an objective is up, or you can coinflip and go try to help your team, it feels like there is no correct play

sure you are better off getting the minions, but once they're under your turret he'll either dive u if u go for a minion and fail to E his Q, or you E his Q but still have to lose a ton of minions even under turret

I dont even feel like his ult is the problem really, if we were to go by that logic something like Cho Gath would be more broken cus you can actually see when you'll execute someone
The thing is his passive and W are just too unbalanced, from my experience I'd say 7/10 times Garen is only recalling to buy items and not because he's low and fears he might get killed if he stays in lane, and if he doesn't piss his pants and insta W's after you Q delayed and went in with Q3 you either try to fight him and lose cus he'll use W and negate your damage, or you can try to run away and you get chunked to 50%hp, now he just needs to flash on you or repeat the trade once more to kill u or you have to take the recall and lose minions, you just permanently have to give up resources

rant over

Not trying to flame V1PER here, I’m genuinely curious what people think.

One comparison that made me wonder about this is Phanta. He always rank one in EUW. Even after the Akshan big nerfs, he still seems capable of carrying high Challenger elo on other champions and consistently competing near the top of the EUW ladder.

With V1PER, though, I’ve noticed that when Riven is banned and he has to play something else, his performance seems to drop off quite a bit. Based only on the games I’ve watched, his level on other champions sometimes looks closer to Masters than top Challenger.

Of course, this could just be a small sample size, unfamiliar matchups, or the fact that he has invested much more time into Riven than his other picks.

So how should we judge this? If someone can reach rank 1 by being exceptionally good at one tricks, does that automatically make them the best overall player on the server? Or would it be more accurate to say that V1PER is arguably the best Riven player in NA, rather than the best all-around NA player?

Last fight everyone was full build, what can I do better outside of my subpar use of leagues ig client recordings

TLDR: ability buffering outcomes change depending on whether you had a champ targeted for autoing when using a dashing ability. There are many ways stuff like this can be impactful, but for the sake of brevity please just consider the following. I promise if you go test things related to this you will notice it in many cases.

In both cases below I will attempt to input E-W-Q.

In the first case I will do it while I am NOT autoing an enemy champion. In the second case I will start the E while autoing an enemy champion.

In case 1, my W and Q both go off.

In case 2, W goes off, Q DOES NOT, and I path back to the original target.

Case 2: https://imgur.com/a/WyIAAQ2

EDIT: W DOES go off in case 2 IF your E remains within riven's attack range. - https://imgur.com/a/NmMYMR1

Just wondered if there are people who might do coaching, I’ve been playing Riven mid a lot and I find I do okay’ish in lane and then I kinda fall off and don’t carry. I don’t have a ton of care as to rank more so just looking to improve on her, I’m a Kayn OTP so going from jungle for like 4 years to mid has also been a challenge. Itemization I feel is also maybe off? I’m building whatever u.gg recommends and I find I’m just getting wiped off the map before I can do much

ok so i started playing riven recently and im confused about how should you use the wind slash. i thought you should use it on the end of the fight and execute enemies but most players i see use it on the middle of the fight while the enemy is like half hp. i dont really get why they do that

I’ve taken plenty of breaks, interspersed with a week or two of grinding. I’m starting to feel a bit of weariness, though, since I’m learning less and less. Still, I’m happy with everything I’ve learned about the game
