I honestly thought the first Riven main I played against was hacking

You can imagine me sitting on my Pc playing as a juggernaut with 2 armor runes and a cloth armor just barely hit lvl 6 with 700 hp (I dont think I was at full), only to get dived by a lvl 6 Riven who eats 4 tower shots and somehow fires her R mid Q and gains a shield at the same time.

No joke I reported the player only to find out later that 'animation cancelling' was more than just Darius combo'ing E with Q, but some champions have the power to ACTIVATE 4 FUCKING SPELLS AT THE SAME TIME.

In conclusion wtf bros :) I mean just because she has 1.2 mil Riven points doesnt mean she should have the power to run me over before I can complete one of my animations, I understand she is good at Riven but I cant think of any other champion that gives its dedicated mains exclusive access to using 4 abilities in the space of 0.1 second

Animation canceling or not, Riven has always been a cancerous Champion that can outperform others by her bloated kit that is kept problematic by being pure AD.

It's a bug that's existed from the start that Riot has been and still is too lazy to fix. A lot of other champions have the same bug (though it's not as impactful for others) as well as having the bug of being able to overlap casts with other casts. I highly doubt they will ever be fixed.

Riven can max doublecast, meaning she can throw 2 abilities at the same time. Throwing 3 yet alone 4 abilities at the same time isn't possible, input buffer wise that is.

Riven can't activate 4 spells at once, unless you're counting ignite.

And 4 tower shots? At 6? You had to have been literally AFK to not have killed her first there.

I have to take your story with a grain of salt because it's really not believable that a champion would dive and take 4 tower shots so easily unless you were afk.

When it comes to Riven her kit is pretty limited to melee fighting in lane. You always have to maintain your distance from her and her cancerous 4 short dashes. One slight error and an experienced Riven player will just sit on you until you're dead. I know how powerless you feel afterwards and it's hella justified because she has one of the strongest snowball in all League.

However, advanced animation cancels (3 or 4 spells in a very very short period of time) are sometimes hard to pull off and in very rare cases are worth pulling off. However these cancels are something that you need to learn to expect from Riven players as you improve in your ranked queue. Hope my tips will help you in your further matches!

I feel you might be stretching the truth quiiiiite a bit here.

Let's do some quick maffs for this.

Level 6 Riven had 898 hp. Let's say she has her phage too. This raises her to 1098 HP plus lets say 120 from her shield for a total of 1218.

The 4 turret shots are going to do like 200 + (200 X 1.4) + (200 x 1.8) + (200 x 2.2) = 1280 damage

Level 6 Riven has 45 armor and turrets ignore 30% so 31 armor.

So the turret is going to do about 980 damage.

Did you like go out of your way to not hit her or what?
