When I play Riven, I never QQ.

I QQQ instead.

Yasuo QQ's whenever you QQQ.

Technically, Yasuo QQQ's too. But i'll leave the downvoters to that job.

Karthus Karthus game play: EWQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQRQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ "OMG LOOK AT THOSE PLAYS #LCSBIGPLAYS" He's actually really dang hard to play though.

Hitting Karthus's Q on a single target while farming is like trying to put on a very small button on your shirt.

It's annoying, it pisses you off, and you feel great when you finally pull it off.

Abusing a broken mechanic. Yeah.... fix that pls riot(they are working on it)

Puppet33rOct 8, 20151 votes

It is funny that they are working on it only now that riven fell off and is getting dumpstered by most juggernauts and especially Gnar . But when she was actually the problem, riot was just completely ignoring absolutely everything riven-related on boards.

Yeah this happens a lot. Oh look evelynn is dominant. Let's nerf her a little bit. Eve falls out of favor Two Patches Later Meh, let's nerf everything in her kit and make her urgot-tier(preurgot buffs) This lead to present day eve who is completley outshadowed by other jglers.

And Devourer's nerfing. Nerfing it for ranged champs? Those weren't issues, not as much as XZ who can build tanky, still kill your squishies fast, and have strong early game ganks while farming devourers(he's actually sorta balanced). Melee AD carries are the issues, not ranged champs. And why would you nerf it only for ranged champs? To fk up Kindred who is coming out soon?

Vayne. Oh boy. A whopping 3 AD. They buffed her lategame to compensate her for this poor excuse of a nerf. Pretty bad idea.Really interested in the marksman update though. Hopefully it will shake things up so that ALL adcs are welcome in the meta, not just one or two at any given meta.

I'm not divulging into the monstrosity that was the juggernaut update...

This gets worse after you watch a BoxBox video. Rumor has it they only have to press 1 key.

Bind Q, W, E, and R to spacebar and push it as fast as you can.

To be fair, there are the people who really know riven, and then there are those who spam. 90% of anyone who plays riven mains her, sadly.

BaunjoOct 8, 20152 votes

I would love to see your research on this matter

Sorry to burst your bubble, but a Riven spamming skills ain't gonna get out of bronze, you basically have NO dmg if you spam skills.

EmbertineOct 8, 20151 votes

My brother got out of bronze using riven as a support.

CaythelesOct 8, 20151 votes

Man look what you have done.... you upset the Riven mains XD

MysticK9Oct 8, 20151 votes

Personally this in my opinion on riven. Any riven can spam and shit and get kills but you have to understand there are 2 different Rivens in league of legends.

1st. We have the animation canceler who autos after every q and is a master at riven mechanics like box box or BRNA.

2nd. Is the spammer who never auto's or anything and gives us all riven players a bad name.

Now if you are a fan of riven you know they are giving her edge witch i don't know all the details but it will make her no able to spam and she will take skill to play and im so hyped for people to not be able to say "RIVEN NOOB CHAMP YOU VIRGIN!!!" But that's just my thoughts :)
