the best feeling in this game is stomping riven so hard that they ragequit

BallisticMouse3 votes

It may just seem this way but, It seems Riven players rage quit way more often than any other champion i've played against.

The number of Rivens that ragequit before there can even be a stomping is beyond me, to be honest.

Asides from maybe Tryndameres and Yasuos, I've never seen any champion attract so many people that AFK/rage.

GG bot fed first blood, GG no ganks in 3 minutes, GG Cho'Gath is on their team, GG I must build one defensive item, GG someone forgot to ward my brush (I wonder who), GG the enemy has 2 CS over me, GG they collected my 6 kill bounty. GG my Hearthstone enemy just abused my Millhouse Manastorm.

Literally anything not going according to plan can lead a Riven to be either toxic, AFK, or both.

  1. Abuse level 1 and get a significant HP advantage forcing her out of XP range.
  2. Stay back and poke with passive. Avoid getring hit by Q.
  3. Make her tilt.
  4. She starts trying to all-in with shield too, still don't get hit (don't try to kite, just run), then as she gives up and goes back hit her as the shield goes down. Possibly double proc passive with vault and blind prehemptively in case she managed to stun you on landing.
  5. She panicks, and starts to miscalculate her W range,
  6. At this point stop going out every time she threatens to Q you, and deny her the landing with vault. She won't usually have her W up to stop your vault midflight.
  7. Build tanky to consolidate the lead and proceed to outduel her at any point of the game.

Picking Quinn against Riven is risky. If her jungler helps her out or she does manage to get a lead, you can forget about points #1, #3, and #5. Once she gets a hydra, she'll lifesteal/shield enough that any engage on her would be risky. Lulu is a top lane pick that should never allow Riven to snowball.

Quinn can be good for surviving against her but you're never going to kill her. Ever.

And here i am just playing my baker skin Pantheon and pressing Q to beat rivens

Cowgirl Ed7 votes

idk, the animation cancels are stupid but riven overall is not that broken, she's just annoying/boring. don't give her an early kill and play safe when she's six.

also for every good riven player there are 10000 bad ones

Saianna1 votes

That's good/smart way to play against RIven. But "playing safe" against her often means waiting in fountain till end of game. She can easily dive you, combo you and leave while taking 2 shots from turret on her shield.

Ok but let's not be ridicolous. If you are a tank there's nothing she can do. If you are anything else, play safe, ask for ganks, and pray she's a bad riven. i know good rivens are really annoying to play against and they won't even let you farm, but that's it, nothing much we can do about it

ps: remember that if the riven uses three skills only to get you, it's time to trade back

Saianna2 votes

Yea, when you are a tank you don't really have to be scared of Riven (that much).

But that's kind sad that skill has little meaning when trying to survive against good Riven..

She's like Zed imo. Where she builds they way she wants, while it's your responsibility to build against her..

Celosar1 votes

That's kind of how it works though right? Someone is always going to be the dominant champ in the lane whether it's based on kit or play style. The only thing that will change it is a significant enough item (gold) advantage/disadvantage to change the status quo. Just how it works.

Yasuo, Zed, Katarina, Leblanc. Sucks to suck for kids posting on the Boards today. Gotta feel like people are on their side when really its just people who as bad as them are the only ones posting. The rest couldn't give a shit because they understand counterplay and actually how to play period.

"riven is disabled temporarily" Has brought out nothing but the bronzest Diamond players. Who are mostly Gold or Silver if you look them up. Maybe they were higher elo a few years ago. Which at that elo, most Rivens are either trash, or Smurf. So GG Sucks to suck

Zedex6 votes

I've never heard of, nor seen a Riven player using scripts to tool someone who was poop at top lane.

You're a top lane main bro, and you complain about Riven? Shouldn't that lane be your kingdom? Several counters exist, unless shes last pick and counter picks you, its easy to beat the feast or famine FoTm champ.

Counterplay and Counterpick is too hard a concept for people. Instead they rush to the forums to complain about champions mechanics and the "skill" in their opinion, it doesn't take to play the champion.

Even yasuo has a better earlygame till 6 btw, if he would be any skilled he could outtrade her early. W/e, typical upvote bait circlejerk thread, not like this guy did this already x times and this board always upvotes that guy, kinda sad.

He doesnt even play ranked, which means he is Blind picking Yasuo into Riven at a Bronze level. Most the community might be as bronze as him and upvote, But thankfully Riot has the sense to see the Counterplay, Counterpick and balance in mechanics.

MalzaharAnyLane2 votes

Except for better or worse, Riot has been trying to completely remove counterpicking as a strategy for years.

I mean, you were smart enough to know this without shooting your mouth off like a bronze, and that strategy has it's own pros and cons, but ignoring it is disingenuous at best and 'please ban my ass from ranked' at worst.

Anidan3 votes

I will never understand that decision. This is a moba, which means your character selection matters and your character selection defines what you can and can't do. How the hell are you going to make it so that counterpicking isn't a strategy and prevent that other champion from exploiting what your character can and can't do?

Leetri1 votes

They don't want games where you've lost lane before the game has even started loading. There will always be some counter picking, but they don't want hard counters.

darkmatchwaldo1 votes

but you pretty much already have lost before the game starts because you blind picked Yasuo into Fiora without knowing.

Zair Umbras1 votes

They never said they'd remove counterpicking... They don't plan on ever removing counterpicking. There will always be counters to champions via Champ Select, but you have to take into consideration your teammates as well as the enemy teammates. Like, say, you see a Lux mid on the enemy team, but you also see a Lissandra top and Blitzcrank bot, so you're not going to go Katarina, one of the biggest Lux counters. No, you're going to go some one safe. Just like if you see your team having an AD top and jungle and you being against a Veigar, you want to counterpick with Talon or Zed, but then you compromise your team's composition. Counterpicking will always exist and Riot won't ever remove it. People can lane swap to remove lane counters, but in a team fight, a counter is a counter and you better hope and pray some one on the enemy team didn't counter pick you when you counter picked their teammate. lol.

I honestly don't care if Riven isn't disabled. Never had a problem with her in my life, save for 3 times they were legitimately good Riven players. She isn't that strong in all honesty.

I'd much, much rather play against a riven than against a yasuo. At least, if i shut down riven, she stays down. yasuo, on the other hand, somehow always manage to come back

Wrong. You are speaking about 107% of the playerbase minus few few Riven mains that everyone hate.

Anidan3 votes

You're saying that as if mains of other champions aren't hated, too. Even mains of champions like Nasus are pretty damn hated.

Saianna2 votes

I'm silver 2 (or something). And almost never been on TOP lane.. So.. Not only Nasus mains were rare, then in long run I were fighting against them only in pretty much last minutes of game. So my "Nasus'hate'o'meter" is kinda low :)

But yea, I get what you are saying :)

I'm neither a Riven main nor that supposed 98% of the playerbase who wants her disabled. Stop being a wimp, Riven is not and has never been as annoying as the juggernauts imo.

I just pick Cho and watch as Riven's perfectly executed combo does nothing because I'm csing properly and just have to Q on top of myself when I need to take a break from doing nothing.

But if you main top Riven should be no problem, she's feast or famine just starve her.
