How difficult to play is Riven jungle?

^Title^ I've played her a good number of times vs bots but only a few times top in norms. I'm not that good at laning top with mechanical melee champs as I main adc and secondary jungle. However Riven I thought she was very fun and I would assume jungling would be easier as I don't have to lane against anyone else, and can snowball easily through ganks. Plus that new skin 0.0

Try it out in normals

She has decent clears early if you know how to fast combo correctly and can interrupt the monster's attacks with your stuns. After Tiamat and then Rav her clear and sustain become really good.

If you are ever unsure though you can always make a custom and try to clear on your own. If you can get 3-4 camps without a leash then you can definitely do the early clears on her.

If your going to do this as gems said be decent with fast combo as otherwise she is a VERY unhealthy clearer

She struggles in ganking more often than not. Her mobility isn't that great on their own, and must all be used to get in, but that means she loses 80% of her damage, which means Riven is better off ganking opponents who are pushed to your tower. Riven is also incredibly gold reliant, but junglers make pretty decent bank these days, so it should be fine.

To be honest, as a Riven main, I'm surprised I have not tried Riven jungle too much. The times I've tried I did OK, with a stretch on the OK, but there are tons of champions who are just better junglers than Riven. Still, I'd imagine it would be a fun pet project and I've seen it work before, so maybe I'll give it another shot.
