If only people knew how to play against Riven... She's actually pretty easy to beat in lane by gating her cooldowns early, and when late game rolls around just focus her and don't get too close to her as a carry. Her main problem is how hard she snowballs, but it's easy to shut her down early if you know what you're doing.

People try way too hard to defend a champ that's clearly too strong don't understand your kind. No other champ automatically wins lane after a single kill other than Riven. With other champs you can outplay them with Riven she just straight up beats you at all points if she gets a kill on anybody first.

That's straight up stupid.

then you realize she's easily countered and if you don't give her an early lead, it's wicked tough for her to come back.

She has weaknesses. Who'd a thunk it?

This is true ^ Yes, she's strong when she gets an early lead, but she's terrible if she doesn't. It's also super easy to shut her down in lane, you just have to use your head. Also, there are many champs that are super hard to shut down after they get one kill, just like Vayne, Draven, or Fiora. I beat Riven every single time I lane against her, because she's just so easy to shut down.

Because you can clearly get 40% CDR at level 6. /s

Let's not forget being able to break the cdr cap. 45% cdr Riven incoming yay for balanced champion

45 % cdr riven is not incoming cause nobody goes dat deep into ulity... if you get 45 % cdr then u will lose important points in offense...

If you still think that "utility" tree (new name: cunning) is the support tree, you couldn't be more wrong.

It also includes a lot of assassin type masteries with execution dmg amplifications and speed ups when you deal enough burst dmg etc.

I could easily imagine Riven picking up either the Stormraider's Surge or Thunderlord's Decree.

You'd be suprised what people would do.
