Hello league board, I wanted a valid opinion and some reasoning behind whether or not Riven jungle is viable and should be used in rank games.

Not in ranked games because there are better options, but for shitz and giggles she can be fun in the jungle.

You need to have a specific runepage I suppose. Else you get trashed with your early game low damage and low defense

It's meh. Used to be quite good, but she's much better mid and top.

I used to main Riven jungle before the tank meta and I got to diamond 1 with her. I still play her in the jungle but not as much as I used to. She's still viable. In every game I invade the enemy buff at lvl2 & usually kill them or burn their flash. You can jump over walls so wards won't see you. Always get purple smite or red smite if you want to splitpush.

Normal build: item 3723 (warrior) item 3134 item 1001 item 3071 item 3111 item 3143 item 3102

If you burned an immobile champions flash early, rush item 3117 and camp him.

If your team already has a strong initiator, you can build more damage instead of tanky items.

Also, Spirit (Samsung Blue's jungler) use to be a Riven jungle main.
