Tackling the Disgraced Gymnast (Riven)

Hey Guys. So I just got 360-no scoped shrekt in lane by a Riven as a Dr. Mundo.

Insert call for nerf here (Not really)

"Well see theres your problem." you say, and I'm sure Mundo isn't the best person to take into this lane. So I ask, who's a good champ to take into lane against a Riven? I am aware that Jax and Garen are pretty good counters. But if I were being honest with you, Jax is too fragile and easy to shut down and Garen's kit is too simple and too easily exploited.

Any good tips or strategies you guys do when you find yourself strutting into lane with this woman? Riven's free this week, maybe I should try playing her a bit to get a sense of whens shes weak and strong.

Pantheon makes her cry. A lot. Hard. Super hard.

Renekton just rips her face off, don't be greedy with your starting item, though, get cloth 5. She won't be able to do anything. At all.

Jarvan beats her, or did last time I played him, which was before the armour nerf, so he might not anymore.

A well played AP Teemo makes her very, very sad. The trick is to get an early lead, though, if you don't damage her at level 1 you might find yourself in deep shit come level 3.

She just cannot touch Darius.

Morde laughs at melee. Laughs.

Swain. Just. Swain.

Lissandra beats her, but play carefully. If you run oom at a bad time she can kill you.

Fiora doesn't care that Riven exists at all, and riposte works on her passive, which is where most of her damage is, this combined with the fact Fiora out damages her makes Riven a sad, sad panda.

Also, unusual to see but GP is A LOT HARDER TO BEAT WITH HER THAN YOU WOULD THINK.

If I Irelia hasn't been zoned by level 3 she owns the lane and Riven can never do anything again, ever.

Also, I commend you for asking for a solution and a way to improve your play, rather than just demanding nerfs. item 3154
