I am a Bronze Riven Main and I need help from Everybody

chicken doodle·Aug 29, 2015·2 votes·1,194 views

First of all let me explain to you. I stopped ranked almost a year ago because I sucked at Riven and only got accidental kills. Now, I am improving, I have 5 lp in Bronze I. Do you think it's worth a try? How do you keep up with your skills and mechanics? I sometimes get tired of playing Riven because I make a lot of fail wall jumps when I enter that mood. Tired. How do you improve your reaction and awareness? Can high elo players teach me how to lane? Thank you. Note: I am noobish in my opinion

Personally I would consider attempting to find a new main. I am a Garen main, and not once have I ever gotten tired of playing him ever since I picked him up in season 1.

Don't get me wrong, while Garen isn't nearly as mechanically intensive as Riven I make a lot of positioning and other mistakes with him, but they never deter me from playing him. Mistakes are part of how you learn via experience, it's called trial and error. If you don't enjoy the error part perhaps it's time to make a change.

Just my opinion of course, take it as you will.

If you want to actually GIT GUD at Riven then you need to go in a custom game and:

-Practice cs SOLO. Try to get Every. Last. CS in 10 minutes. -Practice cs against a bot. -Practice wall-jumping. Try to jump across every single wall that you can jump over on the map until you don't fail walljumps anymore. -Practice animation-cancelling (just look up a guide on animation cancelling with Riven there are many) -Figure out what your worst matchups and play against bots of them or find a friend and play against your friend.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. Play Riven regularly in normals if you can call Top fast enough until you are good enough with her (most games more kills than deaths, deaths less than 10, etc) then go ranked and smash noobs.

It's hard work, yes, but working hard and practicing is how u git gud.

Well first off you will need to do a few things.

First you will need to deny to ALL that say Riven is broken. If someone provides statistical data proving she is op you need to shut them down with "your just sh@t" and "get rekt m9" because they are just mad bro. Secondly you need to realise that 'oh I'm playing Riven' and can now tower dive whenever you want. Thirdly you need Battlebunny skin because boobs.

You are all set now. Enjoy the meta.

The point of the Tips & Tricks section is to actually help. Stuff like what he said belongs in the gutter with the rest of GD.

Here's a tip: Don't play riven in bronze. Go and pick some master yi, garen, tryndamere, whatever! I'm sick of feeders thinking they can play zed, leblanc, kalista, thresh etc...

I personally think I can carry my team with Riven, I play her a lot and I know how she functions. I'm good in my opinion, just need to improve, have a problem with that?

Ok. Don't play riven. Play a different top laner that's better LATE game as most bronze games tend to go longer. Try nasus, garen, or darius.
