Quick tip to easily do Riven fast Q combo!

IllllllIIIIlllll·Oct 8, 2015·1 votes·2,048 views

I've tried to do it in the past without success. The part that always screwed me over was not brining the mouse back to the target on time.

Normally (or at least in every tutorial video I've seen), the combo goes auto -> q -> click behind yourself -> click back on target -> auto -> q -> repeat.

If you instead switch the "click behind yourself" to "click in direction you're facing", the speed of the execution remains unchanged, but it's a lot easier to move your mouse back on target. Can anyone else test this so I know it's not just me it works for?

A lot of low elo players dont understand that Riven actually requires unbelievable mechanics to play effectively. She quite literally has the highest skill floor in the game of any champion.

"Skill Floor" means the exact opposite of what you mean to say.

A high skill floor means that you get high level or results with minimum skill.

What you mean is a LOW skill floor, wherein you get low results with minimum skill. Presumably you also consider Riven to have a high skill ceiling, meaning a high level of results with maximum skill.

I am not commenting on your opinion of Riven, just on the misuse of the phrase "skill ceiling/floor" which is endemic on this forum

I said what I meant. I don't consider a Riven who doesn't cancel to be "playing the champion properly".

Just in case anyone else comes upon this comment, its brazenly false in its self assured correction of terminology. A skill floor is in fact the lowest amount of skill you need to be effective with something. A low skill floor implies that you need to know pretty much nothing to be able to use most of a champions power budget. This necro was needed.
