Riven Fast Q Question

So, question about Riven's fast Q combo. Do I Q immediately after the AA or do I wait and see the AA damage applies before pressing Q?

With any auto attack canceling mechanic, you must wait until the damage is applied before issuing a new command. (There is actually a .03 second margin)

So essentially its still immediately after? since .03 seconds isn't that much?

Immediately after the damage is dealt, yes.

The reason I mentioned the .03 second buffer is because that is technically the amount of time before the damage is dealt in which you are "locked in" to dealing damage.

To be clear, it is not immediately after issuing the auto attack.

To be safe, it is easiest to wait until you see the damage applied, however, you can anticipate the damage and issue the command "early"

Sorry if my answer is confusing.

How to fast combo:

Auto + Q cancel + click on ground during Q (make sure ur mouse is above the enemy when u press Q) + click on enemy (auto) + Q cancel, etc.

Double cast: E, wait 0.25 - 0.75 (or something) seconds, press Q+W at same time. You can do with with flash and R2 too but I'm not sure exactly how.

R cancel: R while in E, easy enough.

R2 cancel: R2 while in E, easy enough. (R2 is Wind Slash)

Stun dash: W+E at same time, this stuns the area around you then dashes without delay, can be useful for running away.

Q dancing: Fast combo but don't put ur mouse over your enemy, move so you're facing the direction u wanna go, Q makes you go forward if ur mouse isn't over a target.

Rav cancels: Rav+W instantly/Rav+Q instantly.

W and E cancels: Although they don't reset ur auto attack timer like Q does, canceling their animation still smooths out your gameplay. Simply click on the ground during the ability (and then auto if you wanna auto).

Well, that's all I can think of for now. Friend me if you want me to show you in a custom, I guess. I'm ok, not the greatest but not completely terrible.

P.S. With 6.20 patch, you can fast combo without all those skills, you can do it simply by Q'ing on your opponent and right clicking (this is a bug). However you can combo even faster if you do the normal fast combo, but you have less time to cancel it.
