How to play rivem: Q,Q,W,Q,E W,Q,Q,Q,E E,W,Q,Q,Q E,Q,Q,Q,W Q,W,Q,Q,E R,Q,Q,Q,W,R,E

REPEAT IN ANY VARIATION TO PISS ANYONE OFF. Basically just smash the Q,W,E,R in any order it doesnt matter Riven will still get a penta.

what a surprise, you're silver. smash any of those combos in any order and you do zero damage, you need to actually animation cancel and weave autos in to actually be useful.

dude, it was a joke. Riven can just smash any button and she will do crazy damage. And also whats so bad about silver? I like where I am and I am happy with my self, don't through rank like its an insult. Also im sure you will still do damage with any of those combos. Its not like Q,Q,W,E Crap I forgot to do an AA looks like I'll do zero damage.

go lane aganst someone as riven and triple q them. then do it again with an auto in between each q. yeah, the damage difference is pretty significant.

and I made the point about you being silver because it's always low elo people who call champions OP or easy/faceroll all the time despite having no idea how to play them or against them - which you've demonstrated here.

Radnar the boldAug 6, 20151 votes

I said that as a joke, because most of the time you have to do a triple q and get a kill. Each champ has more to them then just the spells, I can go on for hours of how to correctly play as gnar, but I made the riven one because she can be op.

Also the boards always say riven is OP so dont just think Im a small voice, I play riven and think she is op because she is! no mana, low cds, and a great CC and jump in/jump out mechanics. Also I crush Riven when I play Garen so stop assuming shit. Vayne takes skill, Kat takes skill, ekko takes skill, and all those champs are said to be op, but they in fact take skill. Riven is easy and can be picked up and played well by anyone.

You don't know enough about the game to make that judgement on riven. You're just circlejerking the riven hate because you think it makes you look 'hip' and 'in the know' instead of, you know, a sheep.

Radnar the boldAug 6, 20151 votes

Ooooh sick burn. you're right, riven is fine, and is in good shape, ill just not voice my opinion on the matter and just say "I don't know how to play a champ". Also I circlejerk myself thank you. I mean playing as Riven, seeing how many riven "mains" are out there, and seeing how she is complained about a lot must mean they are all stupid, even though some have given great logic on how her kit is slightly op. But yea Im just a brainless sheep following a mindless thought.

get so tired of the bitching about elo

Radnar the boldAug 6, 20151 votes

Me to.

colesyAug 6, 20151 votes

you aren't a small voice because the majority of the league community sucks since the majority of them are bronze or silver.

if riven was easy to pick and play, why is it that whenever I watch my friends (silvers, unranked, etc. play riven or against one, they suck? why is it that when I pick her up I play like absolute garbage since I can't animation cancel for shit? riven is obnoxious to play against, but she's not overpowered and she's not easy to play - that's just what bronzes and silvers say because they can't handle admitting that they suck and would rather blame the champion. I mean you even said that you can beat her as garen, well sure grats you can counterpick someone - maybe I should brag about how I can stomp melee laners as quinn, oh wait she absolutely shits on all of them because of her blind, that's not even skill that's just playing a champion that counters another - inability to cast abilities is what counters riven which is what makes garen such a strong pick against her with his silence.

Radnar the boldAug 6, 20151 votes

alright you're gold 3, stop acting like you're diamond 2. Yes, she is obnoxious to lane against, but I meant her kit is overpowered not her per say. I agree she isnt OP, but her kit is. She has a kit that is strong and has no mana, but playing her doesn't mean she can be OP, but just learning her simple skills can make alot of people OP when using her. And stop saying "thats what bronze and silver...", YOU ARE GOLD 3, stop bitching on low elo, because ive seen low elos that shrek with her, and ive watched them/play with them and they are very good with her. You say you suck with her, yet shit on low elos for not knowing how to play her when you don't. I play her and stopped because I liked garen and gnar more because their kits were nicer, hers was just easy to use.

colesyAug 6, 20151 votes

what? i'm plat 2? here, let me give you a link: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/euw/65552084

and how can a champion not be OP if their kit is? it's one or the other, and her kit isn't OP. you're fixated on the whole no mana thing, but she's gated by cooldowns until she's invested like a minimum of 2,337 gold in to them, and that's assuming you have cdr in your runes and masteries to cap it out too. if you rush cleaver it takes more than that, and if you do anything besides rushing brutalizer and ionians, it costs more than that to hit your cap too.

and you've seen low elos destroy people with her because people in low elo suck, I've already gone over that.

I said I don't know how to play her, because when I see people who can actually play riven, I accept I'm not anywhere near that calibre. I can't animation cancel effectively, reliably juke with my abilities (unless it's E'ing away from a skill shot) and I can't reliably do the harder wall jumps. the low elos you think are good at riven are probably just people smashing their keyboard, getting lucky and picking up kills and then at that point it doesn't even matter how bad they are, they'll just kill people because they're fed.

Radnar the boldAug 6, 20151 votes

Oh it kept showing a gold 2 with youre name, maybe it was outdated or the wrong EUW person, apolgies. But still Low elo is not shit! are alot of them bad? yes, but alot of them are stuck in ELO hell. Also, no they just dont play ranked, but ive seen them cancel and carry, also not all low elo suck! You can say that for anyone with any champ, "oh they are low elo and good with a champ? must be dumbluck". I'm so sick of high elos being on this high horse of "low elos are shit", werent you a low elo at one point? I consider bronze low elo and bronze 5 to be shit, not all under gold.

And a kit can be overpower but not make them op, jayce, elise, karma, quinn, gnar, are able to have 8 abilties which gives them an overloaded and op kit, that WHEN played correctly can be OP. Overloaded kits are similiar to overpowered where their kit has so much and so many abilities that if mastered can be great. Sure you can say "well any champ in good hands is OP" yes, but with an overload/overpowered kit that are incredibily skilled. Some other examples are ekko/vayne where they have overloaded kits that give them high damage, high moblity that they can be scary. Overloaded kits is where they put so much of X into a kit that it is enough to cause the champ to be amazing.

Also Riven isnt gated by CDS. sure her W, E have high cooldowns, but not really high, most are between 10-11 seconds and her Q gets a cd after first cast. But mid to late her cooldowns are under 7 seconds with a 50 second ult. All you have to do is wait 10 seconds, and use your powers and AA to get a shit ton of damage off. To be bad you would have to burst all three qs to fast, dash in at the wrong time, use the W when they are far away, or not now when to go in/back off.

Bro you honestly you sound so stupid when you talk. You lost the argument. All people complaining about Riven are usually pretty bad, Riven is the type of champion that if you aren't good with her you are garbage same with Yasuo. I would say probably 5% of Riven players actually know how to play her properly.

Radnar the boldAug 7, 20151 votes

meh, there was no winner, I was just trying to stay aflout. I also didnt appriciate the calling low elo shit and that low elo dont know how to play the game. Also I agree she is not OP, but she does has an overloaded kit, that when played correctly she can shrek and be seen as OP. People complain about her having low CD and no mana, but mostly they face alot of people who just spam q-r. Good rivens know how to use her kit effectively and do crazy damage. She isnt op, but is overloaded.

You are dumb

Jase135Aug 6, 20151 votes

nothing in that implied a joke, especially seeing as a lot of people say the same thing seriously.

Radnar the boldAug 7, 20151 votes

they go through the Q-R rotations the way I did in a serious manner? I also said "it doesnt matter the order youll get a penta anyway" thats not a joke either? Sheesh I didnt know the boards were so serious. Guess I gotta use the kappa more often because people take everything as is it.

Jase135Aug 7, 20151 votes

Yeah some people are really passionate with their champion hatred lol.

Reaper SorakaAug 6, 20151 votes

Practice animation cancelling the best you can. People make it sound like it is Riven's source of power, and I'm inclined to believe them since I don't play Riven.

Q Auto Attack Q Auto Attack Q Auto Attack is the basic mechanic and That's seriously it. But it's not that easy, People make it seem like Riven does all that damage so quickly by just pressing qwer in any order when it's a lot of animation canceling and autos. Just look up riven guides. Don't think the boards full of salty people who get rekt by Riven is the right place to go.
