Riven Jungle

I've been having a lot of consistent success recently using this, and I'm actually surprised. Her sustain is fine, her clear times are very quick when you get your AA cancelling down, and her ganks are very strong, boasting both burst damage, CC and mobility. I probably don't need to discuss how good her scaling is.

Anyone else try this? I assumed it was a fluke but I've tried it every few games and it's becoming pretty consistent. I actually managed to still do well when my bot lane leeched EXP, causing me to die to red buff at level 1 due to a Nunu invade, and I still turned it around and ended 5:1:2 with solid objective control.

Seems to have a pretty solid kit for jungling, at least for an off-pick. Usually my issue with offpicks is "Yeah it'll work but why bother?" syndrome, but here she has a pretty good combination going on.

Viable/Out-Classed?

The biggest problem for me was the first few clears. I remember getting completely destroyed by the jungle mobs. Perhaps its a different story after the jungle nerfs.

I haven't had too much trouble clearing to be honest, that's something that really surprised me. Maybe pre-nerfs it would've been a different story.

You're disgusting for playing riven.

Yeah it's not bad. Problem is you're usually too low hp to gank after getting both buffs, but she's quite strong outside of that. Her ganks are really strong but don't go in with less than 2/3 hp or you'll just get blown up and feed.
