I've been playing the game for 2 weeks now. I started to play Riven 4 days ago and I want to main her. I am trying to learn how to do the fast Q combo and here is my attempt. Am I doing the fast Q combo correctly?
Go to r/rivenmains on reddit, they would be a much better place to ask.
At level 1, I would think so. You don't have much attack speed to work with so it will look somewhat slower than you'd expect.
Around level 11 or so, using the same technique, you should be able to see a significant difference in how fast that attack animation is cancelled between Qs.
Regarding your video, from the beginning up to the 6 to 7 second mark, you're doing great. Afterwards it got a bit shaky and you let the attack animations go through.
Again, at early levels it's a bit tricky since you don't have much attack speed to work with, which is why some Rivens may opt in for 'Legend: Alacrity' in the Precision tree to get a smoother attack animation cancel earlier.
i used to main Riven back in the day when i didn play league for 1 year my self. i played her for something like 6months straight before i played something else. the youtubers i went to learn about riven back then in s3 was "Best Riven Na." this player was insane. he took doubles, tripples and quadras alone. i fell in love with riven. it was like i didn care about anyone else and how amazing they where because all i cared to play was riven. i can give you a couple of tips that i learned
when engaging never dash in. save your dash to disengage from your enemies. or to predict skills they may use
poke your enemies down little by little. dont go all in low lvles because riven falls easy in low lvl. if all her skills is on cooldowns? riven is utterly useless
when you poke enemies down to 50%hp, you can easy smack them down in 1 combo with ignite and ult
Riven is a skill shots user. all her dmg is in her kit to hit her combos. and such champs can simultaneously hit 2 buttons and get effects from both. like your ult. it has a second activation. and it may be a second you dont have to survive in the middle of an teamfight. push e+r and your ult activates faster, putting you faster into action, wich can cast enemies off guard. you can also w+r so. you can activate your ult through a stun to abselutely destroy your enemies. or you can dash into your enemies with an sheild to block incomming dmg while pulling off insane dmg..!
5.the first item i always rushed was tiamat. tiamat just became a normal part of riven combo that just... worked so well with her honestly. i had a high success rate with tiamat before i buyed anything else.. that is if you use tiamat activation tho.
if not in the main rune page, use this in the off rune page. you need domination for your rune page for riven. the reason being is for "ingenious hunter" that makes you able to receive a cooldown on items activation. wich is pretty op for riven. remember.. if she is on cooldown. she got nothing besides auto attacks. and riven has a weak auto atk kit. so if you have items to activate. it can be pretty big deal to accomplish something. you would think a 4sec cooldown off from tiamat isnt a big deal.. but its pretty useful actually. and other items alike
Good luck homeboy!
