how can I improve my Riven?

I've been wanting to one-trick riven for a bit.. she seems like she'd fit me but I havent been able to do well yet. I've been to afraid to go engage teamfights or even go group. Instead I try to split top but I'm not very useful. I don't understand how to trade or even fight 1v1's at top. I understand the basics of her, but I cant seem to actually do what im supposed to do. Would I improve just spamming her nonstop? Do you guys have any tips?

Edit: Also, i've been wondering, why do riven mains get so much hate? Riven is hard to play..

Rest is match up knowledge.

Teamfighting is engage after you're primary engage, or assassinate.

You should watch some of Adrian or Boxbox's videos in certain matchups like

Riven vs Renekton or Riven vs Darius .. adrian would probably go into more depth than boxbox does explaining the match up and right build path

Also you should practice your animation cancelling with the [Q-> Auto]*3

people hate Riven because she either ends up destroying everyone or becoming absolutely useless

Get good.

All jokes aside you should look on videos on how to animation cancel and practice it. Some of the major animation cancel you need to practice are

Q>AA>Q>AA>Q>AA E>W E>R

If you're able to do those combos really fast, you should have an easier time doing her other combos.

In trades in top, depending on the matchup, you would want to take Q or E. As for the actual trades, punish the enemy for trying to farm by using the Q>AA combo, but don't use the full combo if the enemy is strong, instead use it to escape minion agro or possible ganks. Once you have all 3 skills, you'll have to combo all 3 of your abilities so that the enemy die, if not, loses a chunk of their health.

As for team fighting, usually you would want to use your Q 2 times, engage with E, flash if needed, 3rd Q and W. Preferably, you should have some tank items.

As for spamming riven in games, while you'll improve sure, you'll have an easier time if you have prior knowledge of her combos and all.

For your last question, Riven got hated because either she's "broken" or "player too toxic" or she's useless and toxic.

Anyways, I hope you will improve.
