Trying to learn a mechanically difficult champ.

I have about 280K mastery points on her now (Though that doesn't come close to some of the guys in /r/Rivenmains) and agree completely. Every champion has different strategies in order to play against them.

: If he builds up his fury bar and looks to go in for the stun, E away from him as he Es towards you. This will force him to either use his Fury on E2 or back off. A lot of Renektons will queue up their stun before E'ing, and if so this gives you a window to fight.

: Be super aggressive early before he can stack armor. Try and fight him behind his wave so you don't push into tower.

: Buy a pink ward and place it in the middle bush as close to the lane as possible. Do not trade when he lands his Q because it reduces your armor, so try to trade first and save your E to block his return damage.

: Be really aggressive pre-6, because after that you won't kill him.

: Play safe and ask for ganks. Only go in for trades if she misses her E or her W is down. (Fudge that W, dumbest spell ever)

: Cry, because you are getting "outplayed" by someone who just hits all the buttons on their keyboard and runs at you. If he has Ignite it's even worse.

: In Riven's favor since his slight rework. Trade in short bursts so he doesn't stack his passive. When he walks towards you to land his Q, Q towards him and go into a Fast Q working a W in as well. Use E to escape, but dash in a diagonal line so he can't pull you back in. A full kill combo on him early usually looks like this: When he goes to land Q use, ER towards gim (To cancel R animation and dodge his outer Q damage) > Auto > WQ (Using W and then Q shortly after E allows you to "Doublecast" them which causes W to have no animation. This also cancels your Auto animation if you time the W correctly) > Auto > Q2 > Auto > Q3 > R2 > Auto. Use Q3 before R2 so he can't flash away while the Windslash is in the air, that missle speed nerf hurt.

In short, my preferd combo is: ER > Auto > WQ > Auto > Q2 > Auto > Q3 > R2 > Auto. If I have Tiamat I use it right before R2.

There are mind game things you can do with LeBlanc that raise her skill ceiling (good clone usage, good doubling back on Distort, etc.), but your right, she's fairly simple to pick up and play.

He has no idea what he's talking about. There are so many things about Azir you need to know how to do that takes countless of hours of practice. Learning to Shurima Shuffle, learning to juke using your Shuffle, Azir's Insec play, learning when to use Azir's Insec play and the most excruciating of all, Azir's 5.24 Insec is an absolute nightmare to learn.

Learning to cs with Azir is literally the easiest part about learning his kit, he's one of the best wave clear champions in the game. Those other things take countless hours of practice to perfect and you will encounter countless fails that will get you mocked along the way.

Darius is easy and op, just keep your passive on recently.
