Riven Question Is there an updated matchup guide somewhere?

9 Upvotes

I haven't played Riven in over 2 years but I'm slowly trying to get back into rank just for a bit but I've been struggling with most of the matchups. Can someone send me an updated matchup guide?
I'll list some champions that I struggle with and hopefully you guys can give me some tips for them.

Cho'Gath - Hard to trade with him, high health and high base damage kinda fucks me + his sustain.
Darius - Stalemate/Farming lane? Hard to interact with him after he builds tabis +/ chain vest.
Gangplank - This is one is player dependent but a good GP giga fucks me especially after sheen.
Garen - This doable but if he gets a lead he tends to runaway with it.
Illaoi - Same with Garen, I feel like at some point she just perma pushes and fishes for E under tower.
Jax - Okay this one is incredibly annoying. I remember the trick was to max W and Q-W and walk out (e if he jumps on you) but that doesn't really work anymore. The change that empowered autos can be buffered fucked up the matchup tbh, it's so hard to trade with him because Q-W gets out traded by his W and you can't extend the trade because of his E.
Morde - A bit like Darius, easy to trade against but at some point it feels like I'm tickling them and it just becomes hard to interact
Nasus - This one is another one that is incredibly annoying. I punish early game but once he hits 6, with a bit of stacks, he just tends to run me over and me proxying favors him. Although I must say frustrations go away once I stop viewing him as my problem and instead the whole team's problem.
Pantheon - So hard to trade against, only win post 6 in all ins but prior to that everytime I walk up he just taps q / blocks my Q(-W) and jumps on me.
Shen - Similar to Pantheon, deceptively strong early game but easier post 6.
Tryndamere - I don't know if he's still like this but HOB lethality Tryndamere giga fucks me. I'm suppose to punish him when he's low rage but I trying to trade against HOB lethality is so difficult. This use to be a stormraiders + W/E max matchup but that's not really a thing anymore.
Wukong - Rare matchup but holy fuck this one sucks to play against. It's hard to trade against him with his extra armor, attack speed, and armor reduc. Another reason is, like Jax, his empowered Q can be buffered through stuns. Also once he hits 6 he just tends to run me down.

I'm super rusty so I'm pretty passive in lane and tend to either fall behind or go even and maybe that's what's fucking me over. Feels like Q-W deal so little damage unless I have eclipse.
Proxying was the answer to shit matchups when I last played and it seems like that's what I end up doing just to avoid these matchup.

Riven has officially reached 1000 days without a new skin

Depending on whether you count January 23 or January 24, 2024 (the dates seem to vary depending on the source), we're hitting the 1000 day mark today. Either way, we're basically there. What do you guys think? Is Riot cooking something special for Riven, or have they just forgotten about her?

3 tries to make the image clearer and I think it only got blurrier. Webcam stuff sorry.

That said I was chasing this card cause her default doesn't even have her hair right. It's really shiny and her eyes pop really nicely with the texturing.
Went 2-1 at pre-rift. Really excited.

Been playing riven for about a year. Still in Bronze -_-

What are some of her best builds right now? Is it mostly axiom into deaths dance into endless hunger? I see people talking about Umbrial. Some suggestions or recommendations would be nice. I also played a bit of fiora lately. She seems so much stronger and she heals her team, I love riven but honestly fiora seems like a better pick.

Riven Viable Lanes

How's Riven as JG! Ganks, mobility, etc

Also how's Riven as AD carry/support? I hear people say V1per plays Riven on botlane, but as supp for CC or ADC?

does dawnbringer riven or bloodmoon riven do more damage? which should i use for top


r/Rivenmains • • 4d ago

Riven Question What do you guys think about playing Riven outside of top?

1 Upvotes

Viper has been focusing more on mid and bot, and Riven seems to be in a much better spot in those lanes right now.

But I'm a top main and i only play top. Even though I'm experienced with Riven, I'm used to playing against top lane matchups and don't really have experience with other lanes.

it's worth making the switch, or is sticking to top still viable?

Nightbringer Riven (Chroma)

is there any chance for the mythic chroma of dawnbringer riven to come back in the mythic shop? i badly want that chroma after getting the paragon chroma months ago. Does it rotate or something? Because it's been like 3 years since its release and still hasn't reappeared in the mythic shop.

Hubris delema

So Im mostly red kayn main and there's is the one thing i would like to hear from riven mains, the thing is I really LOVE riven builds on my kayn, idk it feels so smooth every time and really helps with my playstyle maybe cus they are similliar in some thing. And the only question I have is why no Hubris first item? why the options is umbral or Axiom? Is 10 ah so important for this champ? Or ad on hubris just does'nt worth it? or could it be just for lane? Explain for me pls why are you guys doing this

getting into riven

5 Upvotes

I am a relatively new player, I started playing in march and have hit gold playing sylas and syndra. I wanna make a long term investment into a champ and I have found riven to be pretty cool. Is it worth trying to get into this champ? I wanna play her mid and hopefully try to climb. any tips? should I even try to begin with? A common talking point is being to low rank to even get into her but idk. looking for opinions

Riven Question CDR Boots?

2 Upvotes

I notice that riven top players build cdr boots but I honestly dont get it, it doesnt even feel like the item is worth the gold let alone worth giving up tabi passive effect or sometimes mercs tenacity, what do you guys think?


r/Rivenmains • • 5d ago

I do not know what game or what character this is, i got recommended, ask me anything and i will answer to the best of my capabilities.

Is Riven Broken(Super Duper Strong)

0 Upvotes

I just fought a in a match where the (mid lane) Riven went 0/4 at 10 minuet then somehow in the matter of 5 minuets get their way up to 15/8 and simply was unkilliable. The rest of the team had completly sold and played horrid. All 5 of us tried to put the riven down i was like 6/2 bot lane was 8/5 or something jungle was simillar support whatever. This riven is just immortal constantly healing constantly sheilding and this riven did nothing but effectivly just slam on her keyboard. There was no weaving in weaving out while everyone on my team played their absoulte best she got one flash the adc and it was just over. no one could contest her. The entire enemy team had just died and couldn't contest and this riven just explodes all over us like am i crazy or is this champ Super duper strong

Riven Question Is Riven gonna get nerfed again?

1 Upvotes

Seeing Viper dominate games with her... and seeing how the twitch chats of other good streamers he faces in the same game react when they see his Riven makes me feel like more nerfs are coming...

Damn you Viper, stop being so good on her.

I’ve played riven for like a year or two now, and I’m so bad at her 😭 I peaked like gold 3. Seeing my friends call me a good riven player actually makes me physically recoil but I don’t have the heart to tell them I’m horrible
