Personally i think riven does take a lot of skill to play well. Playing well meaning using every aspect of your kit correctly. I play riven a lot and am fairly decent with her. But when i do play her people yell and bitch about how unskilled she is to play. Now its up to you does riven take skill yes or no, nothing else don't dance around it. Also bronze players don't get to vote on this.
BeatzBoyFTW6 votesIf u screw up her first combo, dun worry. Try it again in 5 seconds or so, she doesnt use mana anyway unlike other skillful top champs does.
MOARtacoz1 votesLawl I told you bronze players to not answer.
BeatzBoyFTW5 votesMOARtacoz1 votesSilver 3 isnt something to be proud of, bronze is a skip, hop, and a jump away. Also Please stop talking shit, i asked a question and your picking fights shut up.
BeatzBoyFTW2 votesSilver 3 isnt something to be proud of, bronze is a skip, hop, and a jump away.
That, and you guys have more time to troll, & afks just because you gave them first blood. In Silver elo, it is a little more rare to see this type of behaviour.
Also Please stop talking shit, i asked a question and your picking fights shut up.
I did asked, you responded with a negative & invalid kind of comment, AND dodging my other question.
MOARtacoz2 votesNot really, i chose not to respond, this is my scrub account that i use to post to forums if you want to see my real account its Kanji Souta. Also can you learn some English because that was more of a rhetorical question.
BeatzBoyFTW2 votesThe last time I checked your match history before making a comment here, you were using Riven in a couple of matches, and you were using her more even now. But sure, "scrub account", w/e. No difference scrub or not in any two accounts when one Riven isn't any different than the other.
Well, then mine is a scrub account too. My actual one is Rackier. I have another account, which is 41noob.
MOARtacoz1 votesI never asked you what your scrub account is and nice job beating around the bush mate, saying stuff that is obviously visible to any one who has eyes. Clap Clap
BeatzBoyFTW2 votesYep, eyes and brains. Obviously, you don't, since you never understood my points in all of my comments on your thread, and then made a trash talk like this one instead. It's like you're scared of admitting it's true.
MOARtacoz1 votesThe fact that you took the time to go and get that picture more than once makes my laugh.
BeatzBoyFTW2 votesThe fact that you took 10 days to make a "comeback" got me rofl.
Klatn Yelox1 votesThe fact that children sit here arguing pointlessly online for a lack of a better thing to do has me cracking up. Or, I guess I should say throwing up. If either of you made a valid point in the entire thread, one of you might HAVE a point. As it stands however, this is a never ending pissing contest, going to be stored in Riot's archives for decades. Congrats. you both win.
BeatzBoyFTW2 votesUhh how bored were you til the point you kept scrolling down recent news feed on Boards to find this thread?
Klatn Yelox2 votesAbout as bored as one can get. I mean, really bored. Really really bored. And tired.
Hell Week1 votesdamn bro all you do is go around on the forums and just hate.... people like you ruin this community..... if you're having a bad day, get off your computer and go out for a walk or something. Chill out.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesYou do know your thornmail thread is not something everyone actually has a problem, you know that right? The other downvotes in your thread & other commenters in it agrees with me too.
And I can't believe you actually have a hate this much to be checking out my comment history. I think someone else needs to grow up here.
Hell Week1 votesDidn't check it till i saw you hate on this post as well, you just happened to be here and i remembered your name. And i don't care about the downvotes at all, that's all hate. :/
Drunk Rummate5 votesits pretty easy to tell the difference between a good riven and a bad one.
Trylobyte5 votesIt's easy to be mediocre with Riven but hard to be good with her. Anyone can mash buttons and be all 'lol my combo yo' but then they try that in a teamfight and get annihilated. She's easier than most to lane with and pretty forgiving of mistakes due to her low cooldown, but what tells a good Riven from a meh one is what happens after laning phase is over and she has to fight in situations that aren't 1v1.
Vecuu3 votesThis. I can get through the laning phase with Riven, possibly get 'fed' with her, but there is no way that I am going to be a contributing factor to teamfights like those godlike Rivens you see. I might kill one person and then die a horrible death.
IcyPepper5 votesAlso bronze players don't get to vote on this.
There's a difference in critical thought and rank. Ask for civil discussion, but don't say that someone's opinion doesn't matter if they have a certain rank. I hate Lee Sin, but I give other players advice on counterplay so he's less frustrating to fight against instead of complaining about how he's OP (I dont think he is, I just think he has a little too much going on).
A fed Riven is a nightmare, yes, because she can build glass cannon and have the durability/mobility of a bruiser with that shield and jump. However, all it takes to shut her down is a few wards when she's roaming and some good ol' teamwork. It's unorganized teams that get annihilated by her, and I played her once or twice. I'd say she takes skill to play, but it also requires skill to shut her down.
MOARtacoz1 votesNo i said that as a joke, bc most bronze players say most champs take now skill, believe me my best friend is bronze. Also you might wanna change the first paragraph of that bc its pretty hypocritical there mate.
MrPerson104 votesYes, she takes a fair bit of skill to play. Is she the most difficult champ to master? No. Is she the easiest? Not by a long shot.
Is the required level of skill relative to her reward? Yes. You play her well and build decently, she's very rewarding.
Raja Chachki2 votesYeah she definitely takes skill, with auto cancelling, and wall-hopping. But if fed, she has no need for those things because of how her abilities are the best scaling in the game, all with AD. At that point, you could miss every Q and still kill them.
Sir Yamazuki2 votesNo, the last time I played her I literally mashed my keys and won a 1v3. She doesn't take any additional skill than any other champion, you just have to know how she works, which you know... applies to every champion, you have to know what the opposing champions can do and how much damage they can take+do, which once again, this applies to every champion you play. Her low cool downs and no resource cost means there is no management to be done, there's never a wrong time to use your abilities, because they cost nothing and will be up fairly soon. Her mobility and cc makes her very reliable, which then makes it easier to actually carry when you actually know what you're doing.
The you can tell a good riven from a bad is rather silly, as you can tell the difference between a good player from a bad player using any champion.
I'm not sure what's with everyone trying to act like their waifus require so much more skill than every other champion.
OperationDEEZ11 votesChunk half the enemy's health with Q W, E out. Repeat 5 seconds later when your cooldowns are over.
OhOkYeah1 votesI don't think she does. I just use the EQW combo. Rarely even use the ult which is a shame because it's really nice, but things just die after the first combo. Not much skill involved. You can even build tanky and use the same combo to 2-3 shot any thing.
Gunpoint1 votesIt's not so much skill as it is knowledge of her ability to cancel her animations. Beyond that she's pretty easy.
Razerz Edge1 votesIt's not so much skill as it is knowledge of her ability to cancel her animations. Beyond that she's pretty easy.
you can still give someone knowledge but they would still have to practice on her. any champ that requires practice is pretty hard if you ask me.
Aww Kat1 votesabsolutely not
Razerz Edge1 voteseveryone you encounter that says riven doesn't take any skill just look at what champ they are using and ask yourself. does their champ take any skill to play? cause most likely they are play no skilled champs that are 10X easier than riven. imo yeah, she does take skill to play. especially when you get zoned by the entire enemy team and when you get camped by jungler which more than likely if they are a good jungler and team they will.
Wullf1 votesshe does take quite a skill. But that only mechanical skill. "You have to press this now".
I actually think that she is pretty stupid champion. Low cooldowns lots of mobility lots of sustain and lots of damage.
She might be balanced but It is sure not fun playing against her, almost as much as playing against teemo.
Only Play Darius1 votesIf slapping the keyboard until the enemy dies takes skill, then I guess your right.
The ADC Wizard1 votesMuch less skill than yasuo.
MOARtacoz1 votesTo play yas well takes skill sir.
The ADC Wizard1 votesYou better damn believe it. Tell me when you have a game when playing aggressive as yasuo that you don't dash into a turret by mistake.
Paldor1 votesIt takes skill to master a champion, not to play "well".
