And why does she get so unstoppable all she has to do is look at my team to put us on Cooldown.
We've tried CCing the monster but she get's a QSS and ignores what we throw at her and just smears our face across the pavement.
My friend put it best. "When there is a riven on the enemy team it makes me feel like we're the generic badguys who get stomped by the overpowered plot armor protected protagonist"
Leti the Yeti2 votesI see Riven has a fun challenge! I know shes abit.. above average, so it's fun for me to beat her

I try to have a pretty good attitude when going against her, but my god man she hurts early, mid and late game. Even with armor and health she just shreds the living daylights out of you.
Leti the Yeti1 voteshug your minions? dont engage the riven? pick a champ with sustain? its really really amusing when she attacks you.. only to leave with even less health and you regain everything you lost at a nice rate...
I can have a good attiude cuz i dont have to force myself to change just cuz its Riven my champ pool and style is apparently ideal against riven...so no complaints here
Kuroi862 votesStrong bruisers, lane bullies, are the best way to shut out Riven early.
It's not guaranteed, but it's a strong match up to Riven.
Riven is unforgiving of mistakes, both to the enemy and to the player.
If the Riven player makes a mistake, they are too squishy to survive for long.
If the enemy player makes a mistake, Riven' damage will make them suffer.
Learning how to trade with a strong laner will make all the difference when facing the broken blade.
Syn Zykan1 votesplay any ranged top that can avoid her combo and poke her entirely out of lane and deny her farm. You can play someone like Gnar or Viktor or Lissandra into Riven and just ruin her day.
Only Play Darius1 votesWhat ELO are you in?
Champs with incredibly strong early game damage and high snowball potential, like 
, are popular in low ELO because those players don't understand how these champs work. Fiora and Riven are extremely difficult to outdamage or outplay pre-level 6, and when fed they are capable of snowballing extremely quickly and with a couple more kills will become a roaming menace that can singlehandedly destroy your entire team in the blink of an eye.
The thing about riven and fiora is that because they have very little utility and are reliant on items for mid-game damage, they fall off extremely hard if not fed. All it takes to shutdown riven and fiora is to not give them any kills early. Then once you have a point in your ult, let them push to your turret, then get your jungler to come gank you and let loose with all your abilities to kill them before they can escape, You will get a kill, jungler an assist, and riven/fiora will be useless for the rest of the game because they are behind in kills.
Of course a lot of low ELO players are stubborn in the belief that they can outdamage a riven/fiora without an ult, and build offensively and try to snag a first blood on them, almost always ending up utterly failing in doing so. They don't understand that rushing armor will completely ruin any fiora/riven , and don't understand that being 0/0 hurts fiora/riven much, much more than being 0/0 hurts a more utility based champ.
Playing riven in low elo usually results in you getting fed early, leading to a mega-snowball and an easy win.
It's the same problem with LB, honestly i'm tired of losing my lane when a fed LeBlanc comes for a visit because our midlaner is too stubborn to come to terms with the fact that LeBlanc is probably going to far more damage than they do early game, and that denying LeBlanc an early kill causes her to fall off massively mid and late game.
