Why does Riven do so much damage????

toblerone888··5 votes·1,437 views

I was playing Irelia top into a Riven and at level 1 she jumped out of a bush, q me 3 times autod me and took half my health bar!!! How do you counter that? I couldn't dash through the wave as she was just running me down and my autos did no damage because I had no passive stacks. This might just be cause im bad but can you give me some ideas of how to counter that. Resourceless abilities and insane damage seems just a bit too op to me

The short answer: Because Riot refuses to nerf her, despite 80% of the community demanding it for the better part of four years.

We talking about the 80% who are iron to low gold whose idea of balance is "This thing beat me, thus it needs nerf.". Where her win rate at those elos is below the average?

Or....

"I don't want to learn how to beat this champ so it needs nerfs"

I'm not, most players in this game are bad and showcase they are bad and should never even be slightly taken into consideration on when it comes to balance because they have no idea what they are talking about, as you can see from the poster directly above you.

Generally, not fighting her level one. Riven is a lane bully in that regard, also I extend the same advice I always extend, ever having trouble with something, play it, you will find out their weaknesses better.

Riven has a strong level 1 against people who let her hit all 3 Qs and Q-enhanced autos. Counter it by avoiding her Q. Force her to come to you using Q to get in range. Losing a few minions isn't the end of the world, so let the wave push a bit so you can get to turret.

champ needs major nerfs, when then nerfed her they also buffed her, 0.o wait did i just hear that right yes, yes i did, dsont matter the elo, she is busted anyone who thinks diff is a riven main or use her to climb, she cucks you in lane, even champs that counter her have a rough lane phase, her build is cheap for the most part SoS is busted as fuck, gives her everything she wants
