Champion Aren't That Hard,

,that you should be able to do literally almost anything if you master just one single fucking "hard champ". Given the fact it takes less than a hundred games to "master" a champ, why can the person go on to abuse something completely broken for many hundreds more games. I don't care if most Riven players are completely useless, Riven's insane kit isn't excusable because it takes skill. Why am I upset about Riven? Not only does she often dumpster me and force my hand as a top main, she also has insane pressure when I jungle.

Getting fucked by Riven I get upset for about 2 seconds then I just laugh because I realize there was nothing I could do, I feel like maybe I should be able to beat Riven because the mediocre ones can be exploited but really Riven is always holding all the cards. I play against good Rivens all the time so it is very easy for me to see how stupid that champion is but other examples of the stupid "x champion is hard to master so when x champion is mastered they can dumpster everyone else no problem at all" Rito logic to some extent are maybe

Have you ever taken the time to contemplate the fact that maybe you actually just suck at the game?

Next time, try picking Quinn into her. Wait for Valor to mark her, then AA Q E AA. That's your combo.

Riven is a strong laner because she's high damage. There are ways of dealing with that. However, she has very little to do in team fights, till the end. She has trouble if her opponents start stacking armor. The only thing that's a little bit weird about her is that her shield scales off AD (which probably shouldn't happen).

The solution to your problem is to figure out how to counter-pick and counter-play. Not to nerf the champ you can't play against.

Well I only looked back a couple days through your ranked history, but you took Fiora into a Riven matchup.

So basically, you took late game scaling against an early game lane bully who snowballs super hard, died twice, and it looks like you quit or afked as you didn't buy a single item past the 4min mark and had a grand total of 18 CS.

I see that you play both Darius and Renekton, both of which would have stuffed her face in the dirt, not sure why you opted for Fiora.

If you can point me to some other games of yours please do, but so far it looks like you got counter picked hard when you chose a noobstomping champion in high elo, not much a surprise there.

Ezreal isn't hard, but Taric makes up for that.

i dont know if riven is realy such a hard offender but the point is true

there were threads in the past asking for a champion who has a higher skillcap, but at the same time using him to his full potential gives you more reward than other champions will get when played to their full potential

and the answer from everyone was no such a champion can basicaly win you games if you spam him enough to get used to him

and i agree with that, champions maximum power should be equal for eweryone

If you get a item 3082 before riven gets her item 3134 she can't hurt you anymore. Now look at their prices, riven has to kill you or zone before you back with 1100 gold or she loses

So am I the only one who sees an enemy reason and thinks "HEEEEEELLLLL YEAAAAAAH EZ KILLS TONIGHT" because that is basically what happens every time I fight Riven. She can snowball hard off a good matchup, but as long as I am on the right Champ its the easiest lane ever for me.

Well plat 4 isn't shit really so why boast about that, but I'll be damned if a bronze 5 goes around calling anyone else bad. LOL
