It's been a struggle for quite a while, ultimately it's what got me to barely play league. I never received many death threats/ hope you die in a hole's, but tons of uninstalls, swearing, abuse. it's the same way with many riven player's out there, but I've never received anything if it were an ahri teemo account etc. Can't say the same for yasuo's. It feels like most the time they want me to do something bad, they seek to criticize me for any play that I may make, for that obviously just mute them, but when criticized directly when I've done nothing wrong games haven't even started or if I decided not to pick riven. I feel like inside I'm becoming that toxicity to afk and just let the game end because I can spend my time better. I don't want to ask riot to mute my account see no evil hear no evil, as I do like making friends. I just don't know what to do.

When my fellow riven player's come up to me and ask hey dude I noticed you haven't been playing normals lately like you always do, what's up? I feel so ashamed as do I now admitting the pain. gotta man up stop being a wuss push yourself forward do a twisted fate tip your hat to those summoners and walk off ya know.

I don't want this thread to seem as if I'm whining nor complaining of my own games. I'm actually a pretty nice guy live to make people happy buy people popcorn at movies etc. It was actually a youtube video of vidcon where a individual got called a garbage person kinda made me want to post this as there are plenty of comments out there of riven's and how toxic they appear to be, but there aren't many posts of what it's like as a riven and perhaps why they become the way they are. I don't expect this post to be popular I just want people to acknowledge a story most riven's don't tell. Keeping it inside like WoW death knights hearing people talk of vanilla xd Riven

Are you SURE you play Riven?
I ask because most Riven diaries look like this.
I came. I flamed. I AFK'd. End of diary.

:)

All I can say is don't let the nonsense get to you. Says more about them than you. Any time someone flames you, take a 10 minute break or so after the game.

riven yasuo and vayne. the three most hated (and probably loved as well) champs in league.

The hate for riven really can't be compared against the memed worst, aka teemo.
