Riven in the current meta

I have recently taken an interest in riven. But even when I'm ahead just feel weak. The cc she brings to team fights feels like her only saving grace. So I wanted to hear some more informed opinions, especially her performance in the higher elos.

After the MYMU pretty much a lot of champ bring the same or better dmg and the same or better mobility, which where Riven's strong points ...... welcome in the Aatrox's world

riven is a champ that gets exponentially stronger relative to player skill whereas champs like Warwick plateau almost immediately. Why else do you think riven is the most common boosting champion.

You're also in bronze 5 like me, neither of us knows the complexities of high level play l0l.

Out of many champions who's mains call "mechanically complex", Riven actually is one. It take a lot of games before you get good enough grasp of her abilities before she actually becomes strong. It seems it takes about 100 games on Riven before she becomes as strong as other champions in your hands, but since you are a bronzerinho you might get benefits earlier.

Riven a champ completely balanced around the upper % of players who know how to use (and abuse ) her kit . Check out this if you wanna know why

literally the only thing riven can do in this meta is flash and stun. annie can do the same, at range, with absolutely zero counterplay and more damage so yea she's weak lol

She's as high skillcap as ever while still being the "jack of all trades, master of none" sort of champion. So most champions outclass her while being far easier.

you don't just pick riven for the meta you pick her to main her for a long period of time and probably spend most of your time in custom and normal games practicing AA cancel and combos.riven is in a postion where you no longer faceroll to win lane like it was on season 5.trust me she isn't weak she's very versatile and rewarding to learn and can be picked in most of the situations it happens that those strenghs only shows up when you play her alot that's it and the fact that she's fun helps alot on not losing attention for other champs
