lately ive been playing a shit ton of riven and its awesome...anyone i catch out is dead..my problem is when the enemy starts grouping... i flash w and get penta stuns and shit but i die immediatley.. idk what to do as riven when the enemy groups..even when my team groups it feels clunky.... if i split push, they come as a group and kill me. idk... in low elo, grouping is hard to play against.
Riven has to be played like a Yi, Tryn, etc, like an AD assassin. You want to clean up kills and win the fight for your team, stay back a bit and wait for your initiator to initiate. If you just dive into the enmy team then you'll be CC'd and focused down.
If you're fed enough you sorta just RQEQWQR and get a penta kill
Use wards if you split push so you can see them coming a mile away.
Thing is, your team needs to be always doing something and for a reason. If they're grouping up and trying to push mid, you can either group up yourselves are try to apply pressure on the map.
If the enemy team sends multiple people after you while split-pushing, you just taken pressure off your team. Use wards, recall immediately (when you see them leave the group, not as a reaction when you see them) and regroup with your team. Then overwhelm them with more numbers (since you got rid of a few for their tower, see?).
In a group, positioning is key. Riven, imo, can be considered a bruiser even if built full ad. Either clean up teamfights, or be the second initiator (typically you'll want a tank to lead the charge). People really underestimate this.
Just yesterday I was playing Sejuani and told my team we had to force a fight. The enemy team blew all their skills on me, the frontline, allowing the carries to deal as much damage as possible. Unfortunately, the Katarina got out of position (it wasn't time to clean up yet) and accidentally threw the game. But if she had waited, we would have won the teamfight because the enemy focused the tank due to our superiour positioning.
Just some food for thought.
Huh, what, who are you guys? xD Oh, those are your same usernames from WoN :p Heya
Manage your CC. You shouldn't be flashing for W, it's like 0.75 seconds. I would go in using two charges of Q, Ki Burst, hydra and then immediately into the knockup and ult finisher. Q+W is enough time for you to actually kill someone.
Added you in game to go over things as the forum delay usually annoys me to the point i stop helping
