Being hated and targeted just for playing riven

Bagguette··7 votes·658 views

Why does everybody assume riven players are toxic just because of some stupid biased statistic? people constantly will try and tilt / start a fight with me and flash bm target me 5 man dive me etc just cause i play riven. and if you say anything back, their entire premade just targets you and reports you. why the hell you guys hate us so much jeeze.

Sorry, it's just something we Riven players have to deal with. Riven's lore carried over into real life in a very meta way, she has a lot of dark things in her past over many seasons that have made a lot of players hate riven on sight, and we as Riven players just have to atone for those past sins by accepting the hate and moving on past it to prove that were are not the bm toxic rage quitting arrogant shittalking trash that people assume we are.

Bro are u ok. Who thinks of that as a comment . That had nothing to do with the stereotype . I doubt anyone remembers her lore in game and just targets u because of it. I'm secretly yasuos masters killer so this kid is getting camped so I can secure the double kill

Mainly has to do with how hard she fists entire teams if they don't fist her first.

that's what a 700% AD scaling combo tends to lead to, a pretty feast or famine playstyle haha

When literally everything you have, including your defense, depends on building AD, then yes, you will have a very feast or famine playstyle. Though riven tends to be more feast, or starve for a little bit before getting kills or assists randomly from a teamfight and switching to feast despite having fed the entire beginning of the game.

To the guy saying it's because of rivens lore .... Wtf? I think it's cuz people hate the fact that they can't play her so they immediately rage at you for the simplest thing but in reality it's just jealousy that they stick to tank Ekko and such knowing we have the mechanics for riven. Being called toxic becsuse of my champ is hilarious. I'm toxic because the game is garbage, not because of maining riven

I don't get camped that hard since it is the top lane and if you do well, people kinda want you dead but still

Well duh, you're riven. It should automatically make you Diamond 1 smurf with an 80% winrate.

But all jokes aside, im pretty sure there are some chill rivens and vaynes. But majority of people who play them are fucktards who think their BoxBox or faker 2nd coming but end up doing terribly and want to blame their team for THEIR mistakes.

I tested this out too, i did well in my lane as fiora and bot did horribly. i ask them to hug and got no complaints. as riven, the enemy team will try and tilt you just for saying abc 123 :\

It's because she's had a very long history of being played by toxic people. Think of it like nuclear fallout: for a certain amount of time it is uninhabitable. But it's only temporary.
