Why? Playing against riven is fun and is skill matchup. Its about outplaying. Playing against tahm is about hoping he will play bad,as there is little chance for outplay.

I literally lose 90% of games against tahm just because of tankiness + %health damage. Bullshit

If the people who said this line were top lane Vayne players, I'd smack them hard with a hammer.

Seems like more of a mix to me. She hard counters some champions, she gets hard countered by others, and she has some skill matches.

Playing against tahm is about hoping he will play bad,

People... say that about Riven as well :/

Not everyone finds playing against Riven fun, otherwise she wouldn't have the reputation she has. Honestly, it's just way too subjective.

Some people hate Riven, some people hate Tahm. Both don't have the best reputation because of that. In the context of this thread, OP is basically saying that the pot is calling the kettle black, like a Lee Sin player complaining about Ekko's mobility. Neither are without fault.

Both can be annoying

But Tahm is broken right now and Riven isn't

I got no opinion on their actual balance at the moment, at least for those two specifically.

Just felt like sharing insight on how people feel.

Riven had 43% ish winrate since preseason. She does work in good hands but it's hard to pull off.

I'm not sure I was clear in my message. I'm not making any claims about their balance whatsoever.

If Riven needed buffs, she deserves them. If Tahm needs nerfs, he should get them. And vice versa. I don't really have any opinion on their balance at the moment, I can only comment on their gameplay patterns and how it feels to match against them.

Matching against riven will always suck if you never play her for a while.

Exactly. The Riven is toxic nevertheless.

Defending Riven? AND hating Tahm?

Love how the boards community flip-flops whenever it's convenient

Playing against riven is quite unfun, playing agaist TK is plain boring, you avoid engaging at all cost and you shouldn't be behind when the teamfights starts occuring

I have had Platinum Lee Sin players complain that Volibear has too much mobility (without anything aside from Bami's Cinder).

Some people will always be salty.

There's a reason if volibear is n1 jungler right now.

On the one hand.... Tahm Kench is kinda bullcrap.

On the other hand, a Riven player getting violated makes me feel warm inside. Five bucks says that Riven just performed that age-old Riven technique of "faceroll in yolo-style at every opportunity" and that's why she got utterly rekt. Even if the frog is pretty broken, I can... nay... MUST... point and laugh.

It's disgusting how people can turn freely aggressive on a guy just because he's playing riven, grow up.

BeatzBoyFTW1 votes

But it's okay if the other is a Tahm Kench?

Huh, weird....

grow up

Funny, almost more than 100 permabanned toxic people says this, lmao.

No, fact is you started this thread exclusively to throw some free harrass at riven players, claiming that their opinion isn't valid whatever they say, because "they're riven".

Funny, almost more than 100 permabanned toxic people says this, lmao.

Banned players say a lot of things. And I've yet to receive any behavioural punishment, don't call out those whom you don't know.

Give me one valid reason why your thoughts on riven players are somehow mature and I will stop thinking of you like a complete [fill in with your imagination]
