I recently fought a riven in lane as master yi and won, riven is fucking overpowered as shit

how did i win by 50 health? well, we both had full health and no ignite, i was level 5 and she was level 4. I had a brutalizer and she had dorans blade and long sword. She engaged on me as i sat in THREE ALLIED MINION WAVES, i EVADED HER STUN with my q, kept attacking her, and then BLOCKED HER THIRD Q with my w to reduce it by 50%.

so basically with all those advantages and 3 full waves of minions doing 150-200 damage per second, the riven almost won, thankfully i finished her with a quick double strike that was luckily up.

how is this excusable? and then of course later she wiped the floor with my level 11 yi with ghostblade when she was level 9 with brutalizer even when i dodged her stun again. This champion's dueling is just so incredibly overloaded its insane, her burst is enough to kill your carry five times over and you can't ever catch or escape from her(i was yi with rank 2 ult and ghostblade active with rank 2 boots and her no boots ability spam caught me over the course of 5 seconds).

she needs to be tuned down, right now her damage is frankly insane.

That is just an Irelia who doesn't know the match up. Riven is a lane bully that snowballs off that lead, and Irelia is very noticeably weaker early game. The Irelia should have expected the Riven to pull something like that, since most Riven players who know their champ can do crazy stuff like that.

Yeah RIven is a stupid champ you can 'outplay' her wth Yi all you want she'll mash the keyboard and find ways to perma cc you while being immune to damage and one shot you all while smoking a blunt and eating a sandwich.

She has enough CC to be a tank, insane mobility and tons of damage. Reason she isn't played? Because bruisers give no fucks. Which is how I will answer you as well.

Once you get ahead of Riven on Yi you rush that armor + botrk. Fuck that ghostblade. You could have 10 damage items and riven could have none and she'd still be able to win just by how much damage she puts out raw and how much hard fucking CC she has.

I would suggest using W on her ult butusually it's pointless because one of her mashed Q or E is going to have you locked down while she uses her R and E to destroy your hp bar.

I also think dodging the burst right AFTER she stuns you (her Q + R that she'll follow up after the stun) would be more powerful than dodging the Stun itself which is 0.5 s or smth (her Q knockup lasts for eons..). Also merc threads vs her to reduce that intial stun even more isn't a bad ploy cuz ninja tabi won't really reduce all that much and going zerkies vs riven is suicide.

If you managed to get ahead going Botrk + Randuins should get you somehere. Poke with Q when 3 minions, don't egnage her and buy dem mana pots. Make sure you have TP vs her will allow you to gank bot while she can' and get you dragons/towers that her simple, zeroskill, buttonmash gungho playstyle won't be able to comprehend. I've beaten Rivens multiple times just by avoiding fights outside of ganks and takng objectives, because remember, the only reason a person picks Riven is because he has no idea how to play the game so he must resort to cheapness or cheese and pray it works.

You ued your W to block the third Q? the one that INTERRUPTS your W? If you are gonna block damage, block the first two, all three hits deal the same damage, so blocking the first two and healing for longer is actually better for you. Riven has too much CC and goes against Riot's own policy that durability shouldn't come from building damage (Her shield shouldn't scale off AD, or at least, not near as much)
