Why do ad champs take sorcery?
Why do some ad champions ( pure ad like riven) masteries have sorcery instead of fury? Does it give cdr (I'm pretty new to this game).

Sorcery doesn't increase ability power (AP), but rather increases all abilities' damage by a certain percentage.
Riven relies on her abilities (Q, W, R) to do damage, and this increases it. It doesn't affect either AP or AD, but it directly affects the abilities' damage.
It's a good mastery on champions that rely on their abilities for most of the damage. Fury, on the other hand, is best for auto-attack reliant champions (Marksmen, Master Yi, Olaf, etc.) and for most junglers.
Most junglers, even many ability-reliant ones, heavily rely on auto-attacks to clear the jungle. The attack speed really helps, since they are auto-attacking most of the time. The extra attack speed also allows for more lifesteal from Machete, more procs of the Krugs buff, more applications of on-hits and every-third-hit effects, and so on. Really good in the jungle, where you try to maximize DPS, especially the first clear.
All their abilities deal bonus damage. So for someone like riv who is a whirring ball of destruction sorcery is viable. Increases ability and spell damage by 0.4 / 0.8 / 1.2 / 1.6 / 2%.
Cause mundo builds as he pleases.. The Q damage on his cleaver already being %health scale now just hits even harder.. and then your W has majorly meaningful damage too.
Yea it says Spell Damage so its not just AP damage now if it just says ability power damage then it would be different.
