She virtually has nothing to worry about.
She doesn't need to worry about mana. She doesn't need to worry about cooldowns. She doesn't need to worry about being caught out. She can outduel most champions with her ult + BC and she can 1v1 due to her kit.
I'm tired of this meme that Riven is a difficult champion to pull off. She's really not.
Well tbh with 4 dashes, 2 hard ccs and a shield she can turn many situations in her favor. After few games you can already wreck faces, as she has surprisingly high dmg. I haven't played her a lot but those were my general feelings. Now, about masteeing her, that's a different story.
All muscle memory, 0 brain champion
Spam same combo, wait 10 seconds, respam the same combo
Well coming from a high diamond/master riven player, shes not hard to play per say . The difficulty of riven is learning to abuse all the subtle mechanics with combo's and canceling animations. In low elo you can do well on the champion just due to her high damage/mobility and not need to master the smaller mechanics as much. But riven gets progressively harder to pull off the higher elo you play her at as do most play making champs. People understand her damage better and are going to do a much better job at focusing you down as a team when you go for plays. anyone can pubstomp a game on riven vs low elo players who are not good at judging her damage or understanding powerspikes. But if you play her vs good players you'll understand it might not be as easy as you think it is to pull her off.
I don't see how if you are good at Riven that it provides fair game play options for the enemy. She is really strong 1v1 and if you die once you probably just get farmed. Junglers ganking aren't the end all be all to it because we all know you can have a dumbass that forgets you exist until riven is 10/0. You could pick the like 2 champions that can compete but what if the enemy jungler has a riven bodypillow too? You get camped to hell and your counter pick is useless.
It took me a ton of games to even start not feeding on her. idk what you mean. medium to pick up, hard to master.
People should be saying riven has high skill cap not that she's hard
