what riven weakness

CC that can interupt her 3rd or her E. Lets say your Darius. Do not E to pull her in and trade. You can wait for her to trade on to you. When she is using her 3rd Q, use your E to interupt her Q so she does not get her knock up, than you can easily win the trade or maybe even kill her.

She falls off without being ahead Her damage isn't that bursty, it actually comes in chunks that can be interrupted. She needs time and space to kill you safely

She doesn't scale too well with defense, her defense scales with offense and her defense is strong and weak in windows of opportunity

Her mobility is split into 4 parts 3 of which are on the same ability. She is mobile in windows and may lose her chance to attack AND escape at the same time if CC'd and thus cc can force a decision

does very well against her, harass with Q and you just push her out of lane in general, don't engage on her because if timed correctly. She will out trade you as you come in and get away, but the same thing goes for you if she engages on you, just auto W stun, E auto, E away boom. Constantly Q harassing and the lane is freelo for you. silence and spinin to winin is super Riven counter. Those are my go to picks against her. also fairs extremely well against her

She's incredibly squishy, entirely melee range, extremely difficult to do well on, and has a weak level 1-2 (against anyone who actually knows how to play against her).

For starters, she's incredibly reliant on her passive, which means she needs to be using her autos and abilities somewhat equally. Blinding or silencing her both rob her of her passive, but silencing works better since she can't even cast abilities in addition to losing her passive. Autos are still a thing, but without her passive and the fact that Riven typically doesn't build attack speed means her damage output drops rather considerably. Blinding her just means she'll use her abilities without autoing until the blind ends then get to use her passive stacks later. So whenever you get the chance to pick between blind and silences, try to go with silences.

That said, Snares and Roots (is there a difference?) work like a pseudo silence on her. Since her primary ability Q and her defensive ability E are both dashes, she can't use either of them while snared, making it so the only ability she can use is her W and R. Poppy and other champs that have abilites that stop dashes do this to a similar affect.

Picking Kennen into Riven is a rough road for her as well. I'm by no means a great Riven, but I'm not terrible either and every time I've fought a Kennen I've got stomped. Darius does pretty good and Garen just seems like he's tanky enough to get in her face whilst also packing a silence. The fact that you have a execute means you don't need to be too scared of her's as well.

Riven is a champ that will try baiting out your abilities from a distance and then go all in when you are vulnerable enough to get a favorable trade. Be mindful of your ability usage in this regard. Don't use any abilities to farm unless its kinda a requirement like farming with Nasus.

Riven is an excellent lane bully, but she's plenty capable of getting bullied as well. If you get the lead, really, and I mean REALLY press that advantage in anyway you can. Denying her farm by standing on the other side of her minions while your minions dwindle away and hitting her when she looks like she wants to tag one will make her cry.

Riven's mobility is also her damage. Keep in mind that if she's using all her Qs to catch up to you, she lost all kinds of pressure ability and damage in the process. Vice versa, if she uses all her Qs to fight, she can't run. Use that information to your advantage.

Make sure that if your jungler ganks for you, he ganks from almost directly behind her rather than from the side. Riven's ability to get out of shitty situations is great and if she sees your jungler coming in from the river, it won't take much for her to run to a safe distance. By ganking behind her, she either needs to run into the jungle or engage one of you, which means her dashes are gone and easy to pin down for a 2v1. She'll probably opt to fight your jungler, logically speaking, so be ready to haul ass over to the general area on her side of river kinda close to her turret.

Also, don't ever just not build armor because she'll be building armor pen. You have natural armor and if she builds armor pen, she'll still be doing more damage to you, so if you are playing a champ that can be pretty tanky, by no means refuse to build armor whenever you have the chance to.

Hope this helps.

Armor

Don't fight early. She's very strong at level 1 and 2. She's still pretty strong after too, but needs to snowball to do well late game
