When you're playing and you get ganked and you know you can't run https://49.media.tumblr.com/c499c6fa5afd88bb0612fdb4ffff93ae/tumblr_nnw4cs7dba1un33emo1_500.gif

As Riven is notoriously hard to gank because of her cc and mobility, what kind of gank was that? A five man top gank? And how many does Riven take with her? :>

I mean I once killed Riven as Singed when DrMundo was ganking me. Granted, Mundo can't really do much to Singed, gank-wise so I guess it was just overconfidence from having an ally.

I am assuming ÿou had your ult and Riven had overstayed her welcome (was low). Otherwise I would have a hard time seeing that working. Man do I need to learn Singed, even if just to make Riven players miserable. :D

I mean, Poppy and Garen are THE Riven counters, Singed is more a skill match-up. Singed can outplay her dashes quite well by flinging her mid-dash, and if it's a gooflip, that's half her kit unusable for a bit. He basically just has to run circles around her.

Also, yeah, she WAS about... Half-health. I was... 3/4? And she made the rather stupid move of trying to get in front of me... After I flung the Mundo towards her. So I just kinda... Stayed between her and the tower and eventually she died.

Hmm, now that you mention it, I can see remake Poppy with her anti-dash field being a real strong pick into Riven, call me a lousy player but I've never been able to pull of Garen vs Riven, maybe I'm just bad but they always seem to be able to get their stun of before I can get my Q off.

My go to guy for Riven is Pantheon, yeah I know it's a skill matchup and Rivens that start valor will just about soak every Q you chuck at her. But he's still a solid pick for Riven imo.

Panth and Malphite kinda fuck up most AD-heavy toplaners anyway.

My go-to is currently Olaf, which is supposedly super risky because the lane can go either way really hard. I just haven't had trouble with it going their way, probably because the Riven's aren't good enough at my play level.
