Tips for Riven

Please don't be critical with me or just say I'm bad because I'm low ELO. I'm looking to improve on Riven in any way (builds/runes, gameplay, ex.) I had this game from last season but only really started ranking up in this preseason as I didn't play often previously. I won like 6 out of 4 promo games (or something like that) and got placed in Iron 4, I am now Bronze II however I need advice especially on how to carry my ADC without a tank, normally the support goes AP and my jungler goes assassin so it's hard being the front line as Riven and not being able to carry because the role with the least carry ability right now in low ELO (or what I've heard) is ADC.

As you can see I am maining Riven (by the title to) and I like to play her top as well as jungle if I have a premade (previously plade her support/mid/ADC but that normally results in my team thinking I'm trolling so they DC or int.) Thank you for any help, currently I am just using this build and rune page: https://u.gg/lol/champions/riven/build/, I try to check RivenMains (although I don't watch montages and gameplay unless they're entertaining, I'd rather be practicing.) But I do watch Youtube guides and read Mobafire guides, if you have any other sources at all to help with Riven or League of Legends in general please link them.

I play Riven top lane until I lose then I switch to playing her to jungle until I lose and then if I keep losing with her I try playing support (Soraka, Morgana) or if I'm duoing with an ADC, if I continue to lose those three games I take a break.

Thank youu~

This wont happen. People here are not critical simply because you are low ELO. They are critical of those low ELO players who either think they know everything, they think they deserve high rank when they obviously dont, lie about their real ELO (saying they are smurfing or stuff) or blame everything on others. No one here will be critical to a low ELO player simply asking for tips.

On that note, while im somewhat high ELO (plat), i dont play Riven. The only thing i can tell you, one i know for sure, is for you to learn how to cancel animations. Most of Riven's success comes from this. You can try searching how to do it in youtube and you might learn a couple mroe things from streamers. Boxbox is a Riven main (probably one of the best Rivens in the world).

I dont think there is anything in what you wrote even remotely close to being sarcastic, though.

Well, whatever. Good luck! Riven is high skill cap to play correctly, so you will need it, too.

Learn to animation cancel, it's what lets you really start to transcend in skill with her.

Really quickly, one thing to learn is that when you cast your E, you can use any of her other abilities mid-dash without having to wait for the cast time. This even works with Tiamat. A pretty solid combo is E-Tiamat-W-Q, then weave AAs from there. If you're quick, you can fit an R in there too if you need extra damage. There are lots of guides out there to help you with these sorts of combos, but just mastering the basic ones should be enough to get you out of bronze.
