Tips Against Riven in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
King Turtle says “Riven as a champion is annoying and even frustrating to play against as she's highly mobile, has a shield+dash combo in one ability, has a stun that you can't avoid with your W, and Riven players tend to be some of the sweatiest, most tryhard people in top lane. Don't be surprised if they pull their jungler and support to camp you and get at least one herald gifted to them. ”

Cryniu says “Juega neutral pero con mucho cuidado, ella hace mucho daño continuo.
Prioriza la tenacidad en las runas.
Prioriza comprar vida y luego armadura, ya que es muy común que compre cuchilla oscura.
Mucho cuidado con el uso de tu E, si te la cancela o te desposicionas estarás muerto.
Te sugiero jugar al sustento y hacia atrás, para contraatacarla.
El combo E+Destello rápido ayuda a sorprenderla para que no use su escudo.

Kocykek says “Beware of her first levels. Then go for short trades. Go for Sheen and poke her. You outscale her.”

Helzky says “Riven isn't too difficult. Don't walk up level 1, she may kill you. Level 2-3 you can kill her or at least get major poke on her. Take Ignite or buy executioners here.”

OliveeGarden says “Take Grasp, riven doesn't allow you take long trades to stack conq or LT apart from that very skill dependent on her end, if she knows how to animation cancel you dont win. if she doesn't know how you usually win. Take W lvl 1 either way, for a mix of bonus kill pressure and survivability ”

havy says “Oh my goodness Riven must have some of, if not the most awesome boobies ever! I wish I could hold them in my hands and give them a tight lil squeeze 😩. It would make the happiest boy alive to know that Riven loved me back the way I love her. She seriously is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I dream about her every night.”

GG Cannon says “Similar to Aatrox but very slightly easier to deal against.
The only truly hard part is her shield and amount of dashes, that make her be able to reach you even when you escape with rappel.”

TheSixtyFreezer says “Unbalanced disgusting champ, she will hard CC you while she deals a lot of DMG to you, and then disengages with a shield. Play really safe and outscale her, then beat her and laugh in her face. Would reccomend to just ban her if you don't want to deal with this bs champ.”

magician4444 says “Do not contest the wave level 1. Her 3 Q's can catch up to you really quick. Highly skilled match up in Riven's favor. If its a good Riven you probably won't win.”

ChowJunior says “Skill matchup. Watching your health and positioning is so vital. If you can understand when she can 100-0 you and play around that, then you can beat her. Riven is such a difficult matchup sometimes because of her skill-cap. Occasionally I get completely dumpstered by a Riven that I cannot keep balanced. ”

Mushroomuwu says “Largely depends on how good she is, matchup is fairly even but Riven outscales Irelia 1v1 after she gets enough CDR. I recommend being passive early and starting E, if she jumps on you stun her in your minion wave and back off. Once it crashes to your tower it will start pushing back and you will have passive. This is the best time to fight her (just like any other melee lane). Try to predict where they will dash with their E, almost 80%+ they will try to dash in the opposite direction to avoid your E but make sure to drag it out enough to cover yourself if she dashes into you as well. If you clip her with your E and you have your stacks you 100% win, try to use your W on her CC (either predict her W or react to her 3rd q). After 6 the lane gets a bit bloodier, you can use minions to avoid her abilities and kite out her shield, never ever Q her shield if you can help it, its 1.5 seconds to wait out, dont let her get value out of it. To open up post 6 try to have your passive stacked or will have it stacked when you go in and ult her. If she avoids your E you can still beat her. You can continue to fight her the same way however I would avoid fighting her after 2 items if you are not ahead of her.”

Your Desired Username says “Me having a personal vendetta against this champion doesn't change anything about Riven being a major threat. She gets to dodge your q and e for absolutely free, her kit contains FOUR dashes. Keep trades short early, rush bramble steelcaps and wait for 6. If you hit at least 1 isolated q on her you can somewhat beat her in Brazil (granted you rushed bramble steelcaps and took ignite). You can guarantee a q-hit with flash. You do NOT outscale her, make sure to NOT ult her in teamfights, she can stall so well and maybe even kill you, the only scenario i can think of in which you would ult her in a teamfight is if she is super fed and solo-carrying. This way you would ult her, try to survive for as long as possible and hope your team wins outside of Brazil.”

boboderaffe says “A terrible lane for most Swains. However, I recommend going for “BIG SWAIN” and trying to outlive her in fights. Try to avoid 1v1 confrontations and definitely get seeker’s+steelcaps ASAP. Later on, in teamfights, you will outshine her even from behind. That does not mean you should willingly fall behind, though. ”
0
BreadedBreadCrum says “Insane mobility and damage. Use your E to block as much of her combos as possible. Q to poke but she will just Q sideways anyways. At Lvl 6, use R to disengage or punish and use your E against her R2. Go HoB to punish her and create distance or block her exit. Take Grasp to trade. Go BoRK, Goredrinker, Frostfire or Sunfire.”
0
Rayli36 says “Try to kite her W or use your W to counter the stun.Build Chain Vest.
Whenever she uses her R try to disengage.
Take Armor in defensive runes.”

Atomragnar says “Depends on how good the Riven is. Boneplating + steelcaps rush.
Try to fight her with W level 1. After level 6 her damage potential spikes hard.
Try to interrup her 3rd Q with your E. ”

LunaticDancer says “Sweaty lane that can swing hard either way. Gambler viable, D Shield. Save your W for after her E dash. Don't get surprised by her ult combo, she can 100-0 you with it if she gets the chance.”
0
COJA says “Try to keep a good distance from Riven. Her Q is a gapcloser if far away and damage if close. You want to force her to use it to gapclose. Her E and W can give her free disengage. Try to predict where she will E (if she is in range). Riven can be punished very hard if she randomly dashes into you. Keep in mind that range is your strength. ”

Sveti Petar says “if u dodge her every Q, and stun, she is dead, if not, shes gonna do some damage to u

AnEx1stingBeing says “Surprisingly, Riven isn't too bad of a matchup for Morde, along as you rush seekers armguard. It mostly comes down to whether the Riven player is good or bad. A good Rivenwill dominate you with no chance of survival, but if the Riven is bad or even mediocre. you have a pretty good chance of winning. Always take ignite into Riven, as it will give you a slight edge while fighting.”

Deizinho says “Do not do that build, do not play with teemo against a Riven.”

Night Guy says “Riven has basically 4 dashes so she can easily get to you or negate most of your damage on her with her E, id she gets you and stuns you you're pretty much dead after a few trades so try not to play aggressively vs her poke her and stay away from her with your E if she gets close to you. After 6 Riven gets confident because of her ulti and if she is an OTP or knows how the champion works your pretty much dead so play it safe and try to kite her.”

Eduardocwalle says “STUNTS, STUNTS EVERYWHERE, she is one of the most annoying melee champs, she can jump, move, get a shield, etc. Play with ur brain and wait until she wastes the shield, she will usally use her dash to dodge ur W so thats the moment to engage her, when she gets ultimate be careful and try to dodge it with yours.”
0
Polartech says “Another bad Match-Up for Kayle. You can't really engage Riven before level 6. Like Aatrox, Riven is one of the strongest Champion of the game at level 1 thanks to her (Q) Combo ability, so pay attention to not take too much Damages at level 1, or your farm will be compromised. Try to poke her after level 6, but I however suggest to not push too much the lane. Use your Radiant Blast (Q) when she is Close and Punish her if she waste all her 3 stacks of (Q) to kill Minions. Hard, but not impossible.”
0
MCSwavest says “However far back you are, you need to be further. You are never safe against this champion. The most you can do is weave autos in between her Qs and dodge the knockup. If you can avoid it, make sure you're not in range of her W. It's very hard to kill this champion with R, so maybe save it for someone else.”

Black Demon Ezel says “Riven can be annoying with her ridiculous amounts of CC and her damage/range buff with her ult. Smack her with Q from range but do your best to maximize your damage by making her the only enemy hit by your Q”

Captain Bane says “Don't trade with her when her passive gets up, she can ramp up damage pretty fast. She wins extended fight 100%
Trading:
damage her with your E cone and
have enough distance so she has to use all of her Q's to get to you, when she Q's on you, Q her back and walk away.”

N64Master says “Riven is always a bit of a nightmare. More CC than you, dashes a TON, and can shield herself. The bonus damage she gets after ability usage doesn't help your case either.”

Sandor Clegane98 says “so essentially what you wanna do in this matchup is not be afraid of all in's as you have the upper edge,however basically if you're starting to have trouble don't hesitate for early cheese with as it will greatly help negate her dmg in trades whilst also giving your some of that juicy gonzales mobility,during trades most riven's will try to go in for q w combo and then immediately E out, so what u wanna do is after she tries to E is to quickly start moving towards her as she's about to E to pull her with your E and then try to kill her,as riven is a cooldown champ meaning in the early stages her trades are exclusively based on her abilities while the NBA superstar has his passive backing him up,so yeah generally look to do that stuff as it will surely grant you a potential kill,post 6 all-ins are still in your favor for as long as you're not behind in terms of level and items.
Dshield or Dblade.”

5Head Builds says “Depends on the player but you should be able to win against her. If you can bait out her W and E combo you can win the trade/all-in.”
0
ToothlessKnight says “Urgot counters Riven straight up. She has to work very very hard to match his lane pressure. You win poke trades and all ins if you land your E. Look to land your E and get a w trade then back off. Your cooldowns are longer than hers and she actually can kill you fairly easy with her second rotation of abilities. If you happen to fall behind rush Ninja Tabis and rush phage/black cleaver. Focus on landing your E and Ult by playing around her dashes. This is a very fun matchup to play from my personal experience.”
0
MrZoltannn says “She is very mobile, so you need to be aware all time for an all-in. at lvl 3 try to poke her and when she goes at you, Q and jump away. lvl 6 is dependent, if you take her out before she can ult, you are okay, if you think you will not be able to, go conqueror against her.”

Koboldjaeger says “If Riven is Good , you will have problems with her damage
Build Trinity . Got weaker after the Conquerer and Goredrinker nerfs”

_WhiteSnow_ says “Riven autowins all ins post 6. When she ults, lock her down with a root and wait it out. you can win short trades pre 6 and after 6 you can look to all in when she has no r.”

xPetu says “TIps: Insta W when she goes for a longer trade. Your W blocks her Passive-AAs. Don't E into her Q3, it will get interrupted. Flash her R2 if possible.”

I Am Goliath says “This matchup difficulty really depends on the riven player but I personally love this matchup, I start doran's blade always and play aggressive early, try to bait out rivens shield by auto attacking her and then go in for the E, also if she engages onto you it's very easy to hit your E, rivens are super telegraphed because of their kit. I play really aggressive pre 6 in this matchup and can usually get kills before then, level 6 is when you have to watch out because her burst with ultimate can be insane, if you haven't backed and have a lot of unspent gold or you're just low on HP I recommend backing and getting some HP because she can burst you from like 75% HP if you aren't careful and she's good at comboing, but you also have potential to outplay her but flashing her second part of ultimate. once you get cleaver and ninja tabi + level 9 you should almost always win the 1v1 unless you missplay, just remember try to bait out her E first with auto attacks because they will use it to shield auto attacks a lot.”
0
Anoying bro5 says “This is a skill matchup so you have to adjust to your opponents play style. You can trade lvl 1 with your Q poke, but make sure to hit a vital to escape her return damage with your movement speed. You want to parry her 3rd Q or her W stun. If you dont have parry, you lose the trade. Her ult is very strong combined with her full combo, so be cautious of her damage.”
0
Stinkee says “Most Riven matchups are very easy but some good Riven players may outplay you. Riven only does one type of damage so she's very easy to itemize against. Get a Frozen Heart and Ninja Tabi and she won't be able to do much against you. If you are having a hard time against a good Riven you can max W first. Don't use your Q unless you are hidden or she has used all of her dashes. Keep track of when she uses her dashes and look to fight her while they are on cooldown.”

lol Wero says “Riven is one of those champs where she can all in you but its actually a close match up compare to Irelia or Wukong. Watch for her Abilities”
0
Sovereign Kitten says “Start (Q) which will help you avoid her level 1 and 2 all in cheese. You have to play in a certain manner to completely negate the all in damage she does. You have to make sure you have your (Q) available for when she dives into you with the knockup followed by the stun. Blind her the very second you get knocked up with a level 2 blind to counter her empowered damage and mitigate as much damage as possible. She will either then try to run you down, or dash and back away. You can out-trade her doing this every time. Grasp of the Undying is the best rune for this match-up period, followed by Electro / Resolve. Grasp falls off late game in comparison.

BoilTheOil says “Go Conqueror. Rush plated
steelcaps if their team is mostly AD so you can match her mobility and reduce her passive auto damage. Don't try to run at her and fight, wait for her to step up to CS then take a trade with her. Don't waste W in lane because she will probably kill you. Peel her off your team if she's ahead when you teamfight.”
0
Phrxshn says “Dodge her Broken Wings(Q) as it has 3 dashes or save Mega Adhesive for it. It is possible to Fling the third dash on Broken Wings. Juke out her Ki Burst(W) to prevent stun. Try to avoid her if she uses Valor(E) as she gets a shield and the shield only lasts for 2 seconds. Dodge her Blade of the Exile/Wind Slash(R). (Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter, Plated Steelcaps) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Riven) (Mega Adhesive prevent casting on Broken Wings or her Dashes) (Mega Adhesive prevent casting on her Valor(E) which is her other dash) (Fling overrides one of her Broken Wings)”

The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Riven has become a hilariously one sided matchup. You have to got to play it beyond perfect to survive her damage. Rush Berserkers and Shieldbow and pray she fucks up her "incredibly hard" combo so you can punish her.”
0
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Deceptively tough lane just because of how broken Riven is. She never runs out of dashes and can pull of some truly bs maneuvers meaning you need to play twice as smart to beat her. Flay will interrupt one dash though she will have three more. Q can be used to interrupt her combo. The reason this matchup isn't a 5 is due to her being 100% physical damage which Thresh will hard counter with enough souls.”
0
Veng Shotz says “completely skill dependent but tilts on riven's side. you can cancel any part of her q rotation with your knock ups. Just dont let her do her fast attack animation cancel bug that has yet to be patched out and you generally win trades. Dont walk up into melee range into her, play a bit behind your melee minions and punish her when she walks up to cs. Cs for free while her e+q are on cd after escaping your combo.
that being said, she will always all in you at any point if you try to step to up to cs, and since her abilities come up sooner your best bet is to go trans + cdr shard and rush cdr, if you have more cdr you have the upper hand and can punish her relentlessly.
watch out for her items and make sure to not stay in lane under 60% health post6 if shes running ign or has executioners. ”

quinn adc says “Quinn's kit counters Riven hard. First, Quinn E can Cancel Riven's Qs.
If Riven tries to engage on you, you MUST save your vault for her 3rd Q ideally because otherwise, if you vault her Q1 or Q2, she will have more Qs to chase you after, and she can still knock you up with her Q3.
If you use vault in the animation of her 3rd Q, you will cancel this ability and push you to safety and prevent her W stun.
Only Riven's 3rd Q knocks you up anyway, and that's the one that you can cancel :)
Really the only way Riven can use her W on you is if she is close to you, then she dashes and Ws you early on with her first few Qs and Es.
Just stay composed and save vault for that 3rd Q always and you will be okay. If you cancel riven's 3rd Q (and if her E is down of course), make sure to retaliate with big trades because she will no longer have ANY gap closers.
When she has R, be careful of her Flash-W because this is the only way she can land her W on you.”

Amphawn says “She beats you insanely hard in lane. Play super safe. There's really not much to say about this matchup. When you see her use her first Q, just respect it. She has a dash, a sheild, and 2 stuns as well as tons of sustained damage against you. If she ults, she shreds you even faster so just try to escape under tower, though she might get greedy with her ult range, sheild, and Q mobility so be ready to ult if she tower dives.”
0
PH45 says “Abuse her cooldowns. She can burst you quite quickly with her combos and run away before you get a chance to trade. Very slippery so hard to kill once she gets some levels. If she misses her stun then try to fight her as she can't create distance as easily then. At 6 she gets a big spike in her damage so be mindful.”
0
At_Tar_Ras says “depends on the player. if riven is good and has ignite it almost has zero counterplay. if riven's bad then it's a free matchup. truly depends on the matchup. use W when you think she'll stun you or when she starts fast-q'ing on you in order to mitigate some damage, slap her with that W and hopefully some minions too for extra burst of DMG and start stacking up Q for an all-in, OR back out and re-engage later.”
0
iZeal says “Riven outscales you heavily, but during the laning phase you can put up a good fight. She has 4 abilities to get out of your W, but your Q1 and Q2 outrange her by a large amount so that she has to shield a lot of this damage to avoid getting poked down.
You will need 2 rotations to kill her while she can 80-0 you in a 1,5 second stun combo so always stay topped up and do not underestimate her burst.”
0
SunFalk says “She has a dash. She has a shield. She has CC. She his tanky. - Riven is very annoying to lane with, don't feed her because she will snowball. Play safe and try to dodge her knock-up, don't be greedy because she will turn on you and kill you.”
0
PH45 says “She has tons of dashes so it might be hard to hit your W on to her. Good thing to remember is that your W makes you unstoppable so you can basically use them when she either tries to knock you up with her 3rd Q or stun you with her W. ”

You can easily avoid her R thanks to Flash.

Raen says “If it's good Riven it's hard to do something in lane cuz she will always wait for her spells and won't let you take her. Every trade she is just using W and insta E to retreat slowly taking down your hp. You can't hesitate vs Riven, you need to find gap between her W and E CD when she will come close to last hit minion. If you notice opportunity like this you need to all in her, that's how you are winning vs Riven. I recommend fast Tabi.”
0
Justkb says “She is still ok, her changes make her lane sustain more annoying but she needed it, to be honest, just don't go for crazy trades and waste mana early. Look to build early tabi and hp and outlast her in long trades in which you win hard. I would also recommend going Grasp into this matchup, it is very successful at deterring a riven from short trades as you can end up gaining a lot from them while the wave still shoves in your favor. Also building HP vs Riven is very effective as this slows down her powerspike especially at level 6.”
0
P1Legend says “This matchup is ONLY hard if you do not buy seekers. All riven players play the same, so you can bait them easily. Buy seekers, jump to a nearby minion, and watch as they immediately Ult and try to all in you. Because you saved your combo, you will W - W heal the burst she just did to you and walk away. Then when her ult is down, you fight her. If you do not get seekers, it is likely that her burst will 1 shot you before you can heal, so I can not stress getting it enough. If you do these things, this matchup is no sweat.”

SaltCat says “Level 1 play passive, like really passive, level 2 you can get W if you want to, level 3 and beyond she will look to short trade, use your W to block her damage and the use your E when she has no dashes”

laoshin3v3 says “Grasp or Conqueror

A_Drunk_Carry says “An expert Riven player will be a pain in the ass. Luckily a lot of people lack the proper mechanics to win this matchup outright 100% of the time. You can go Doran's Shield, stack up, and win small trades. Bait out Riven's first Q. Then back up. The Riven will either use the remaining 2 Qs on the wave, or try to chase you and miss out on CS. Let the wave come to you and get stronger.”

Sporkintahn says “This is a Skill matchup in your favor. --- She has tons of mobility and can dodge your Q and E easily so play heavily around her cooldowns. --- Watch for her third Q which is very telegraphed as to how she will use it. It has a knock up. --- She also has a short dash and a stun. She can't take extended trades or fights against you early. --- A common way for her to trade is usually Q/Auto > Stun > Auto > Q/Dash away to deal a lot of damage quickly when trading. --- DO NOT let her trade for free. --- Her Ult is extremely strong so be careful. Do not stay in lane if you are low hp, period. Her burst damage with or without ult is very high and a good Riven can combo you very quickly. --- Later on in the game she outscales you in damage heavily but you can get ahead early to mid.”

montybucket says “If she's a good riven then she's gonna take advantage of your poor mobility and go for free trades with her stun.

TroviStyle says “[Conqueror] + [Boneplating] skill matchup Dont try to parry anything but her third Q, as its the only one you can react to. with Boneplating you can win fights if she wastes her abilities to farm, but only take short trades. You can try mindgames, by Qing into her third Q and stunning her, or just use Q + W to get in her W range and parry it, or just engage with a Q without W and cast it half a second later. You can literally play this matchup as a 1 vs 1 for 10 hours straight with a friend because its so much fun.”

Drake6401 says “Skill matchup in your favor. Do not get near her at level 1. She beats you this early. Only engage at level 2 when you have a dash or stun. Baiting her Q will win you a trade, or you can get your damage off before she can use the full combo. She doesn't typically cling to her shield but if you can't wait it out, stun her and dash off. I've found Riven to be fairly divable if you make sure to either one shot her or bait her stun.”

Rhoku says “TL;DR - SKILL MATCHUP. FIGHT HER LEVEL 1 WITH W. CAREFUL OF HER BURST/ALL IN. RESPECT HER LEVEL 6 DAMAGE. TRY TO CANCEL HER Q WITH YOUR E. STEELCAPS ARE A GOOD BUY. CONQUEROR IS GOOD.
The Riven matchup is, obviously, HEAVILY dependent on how good the Riven is. But in general, your biggest priorities should be not underestimating her damage and not wasting your abilities because a good Riven will be able to take advantage. She is much harder to deal with when she has ignite so just try to be careful. You are stronger than her level 1 if you level your W so try to make use of this and heavily outtrade her. Try to trade against her when she wastes her abilities. If possible, use your E in order to cancel her third Q as this can leave her in a very vulnurable position. If you do not have your E, you can buffer your W to slow her down just as she knocks you up. This might not matter much in the end though, as she has a ton of mobility. Level 6 is tricky as you have to respect her ultimate. If she catches you off, she can kill you from full health quite easily. It is going to be quite tricky to land your Qs on her but doing so is the key to beating her. This is an extremely snowbally lane so try not to die. And if you do, try not to die any more to her as that would potentially render the game unwinnable. Steelcaps are an amazing purchase against her. Thanks to Conqueror giving more healing AND some Rivens opting for Ravenous/omnivamp items, Bramble Vest is another good pick up against her, especially if the rest of her team requires you to get Merc boots to survive in teamfights. Conqueror is good into her. ”

The Rock Titan says “"[Grasp, Doran's Shield, W > E] - Bone Plating is really good, Start E level 1 so she can't auto you down
- Before your first back, be very careful! Take very short trades with her!! After first back, you just run over her
- She always wants to use her last Q to try to get some free poke damage on you. This can be anticipated and you get to E her when she does it. You win that trade everytime
- I don't recommand engaging the fight, before you get your Bami. She has too many dashes to outplay you and you can end up losing the trade or even die instead.
- After you get your Bami and a few cloth armors, you can actually just run at her. All in whenever she mis steps.
- However, once she gets her first item, you can't fight her anymore. She either runs away too fast or you don't have enough damage"”

The Real Fake says “This matchup is quite volatile, but it is slightly Hecarim favored. A good Riven beats a good Hecarim, but a decent/bad Hecarim beats a decent/bad Riven. You lose levels 1-2, you can beat Riven lvl 3 if you have Conqueror stacked up, and start beating her in trades completely past level 4. At level 6, she has a chance to beat you so be wary. If you have your Q stacked you can beat her if you dodge her ult with your ult. It is recommended to just disengage with your E if she ults. She can't stick onto you and you can kill her easily if her ult is down. Once she gets two completed items you cannot fight her anymore because she outscales you hard.
The reason why this matchup is even is because you beat her early-mid, and that you can choose favorable fights and disengage from unfavorable ones. Also your early to mid game roams and skirmishes are much better than hers.”

Rhoku says “As skill matchup as it gets. She can kite you very well but it should be your goal to make sure she doesn't get to do it for free. Activate your Ultimate early. Land your Qs. Don't eat a full Q combo from her as this will be very bad. Tabis, Seekers Armguard are both excellent into her together. You win in ultimate and you win all ins. But I wouldn't try to all in her as she can escape very easily. Overall, just Q spam poke and save your E. Use it to get her back into the fight and stop her from escaping. Make sure to not use your E before she uses her own E. If she goes INTO you, then she is FREE. If all else fails, just wait until level 6. You don't straight up outscale her like other matchups so don't count on you winning lategame for this one.”

Psychopathic Top says “
Like renekton, requires a lot of skills and is very player dependent. A good Riven player on riven is one of the scariest lanes, and the difficulty will definitely go higher. However, in general, you won’t see a good Riven player until at least masters +. Most riven players struggle with animation cancels (lower elos) and shoves the wave with their aoe three part Qs. The worst lanes are those Rivens that not only freezes the wave but also harass for every cs that you try to get. In lane, focus on not inting and going in for a trade (so she pushes the wave) everytime your boneplating is up. Try to keep the wave at a reasonable size so she cannot dive you (can E to make it smaller). Post level 6 and sheen stall a bit and stack up to around 100 stacks before trying to do anything. If you die once to Riven the lane is over so make sure you don’t make that mistake. You outscale, but her teamfight power is around the same as Nasus, so this matchup it is actually recommended to split push and pull her away from your team. If you are going to be focusing on a teamfight, make sure to flank just like her, so you don’t take the majority of the enemy team’s burst, as my build is less tanky early- mid game than the traditional Nasus.

Playable in low - mid elo, but will be impossible to survive in high elo. A good Riven will destory your ass easily. You will need your jungler to path up to you in his first clear, because most jungler beyond Diamond see Kayle as a free snack, unless your junger is smart enough to peal the kayle at that point. ”

CFCryo says “Very much a skill matchup. Riven's third Q can be repelled by a well-timed Flay. If mistimed, it will still hit you and you'll be knocked back.
Clever use of Riven's stun can guarantee you get hit by the third Q, however, so make sure you carefully use distance. Sometimes Flaying away won't be the answer. Stuns do NOT stop your Q animation, so if you predict a stun, use your own one to minimise her advantage. There's a lot to learn here, so best to learn by just playing.”

JaxIsAHobo says “Laning vs Riven goes up in difficulty the higher rank you are playing at. Good Riven's will consistently chunk you with their Q W, and then use their E to disengage, allowing them to freely harrass you. Riven also can 100-0 you at level 6 if played correctly. Eventually, you do outscale her at 2-3 items, but she's extremely obnoxious in lane to deal with, and you can lose lane with even 1 mistake. Extremely difficult lane, near on par with malphite.”

Use W early on in the trade, and if she tries to keep trading when it ends just taunt backwards (through her if you can) and wait for them to be up again.

KarmaChamelion says “This is arguably the most elo dependent matchup on here. For low elo most Rivens can be stomped, you have plenty of CC to bully her and throw her off her stride and early on her CD's are high. If she rushes cleaver things can become a bit problematic.
However, high elo Rivens who know their combos will hit you like a truck before you can even react so be careful. Mid to late game when she has high CDR and Cleaver it's best to avoid 1v1's against her. ”

SethPRG says “Riven used to be an even-skill matchup, but now it's very hard to win other than early all-in trades if you play it perfectly, but even then they can still get away easily. Riven has the highest AD ratios in the game and it's not even close, she can go Goredrinker and still out damage a fed ADC. This champ is disgustingly broken, and you will never win if they play smart and just don't all in you pre-level 6. You'll want to learn W at level 1, you will always win the trade that way (just be wary of your long W CD), but make sure they can't Q away out of your W's damage zone. Up to level 6, you win the all-in as long as you can hit them with a few abilities, but even then they will almost always be able to dash away, it's too hard to kill confirm on a good Riven. Consider going Striderbreaker to slow them, but this won't really be enough burst to kill them, so I'd recommend going Trinity, make sure you get a Sheen as fast as possible so you can try to zone them. Goredrinker in this situation just makes you absolutely useless in a 1v1, and you really don't want to have your ADC go match a mobile Riven in a side lane when they split... It won't be pretty. It will be your job to match the Riven wherever they go, and vice versa, you will also want to match their insane damage with insane damage, so go Trinity Force, and pray that the damage carries you through the 1v1. You won’t catch them with Stridebreaker anyways because they have 100 dashes, so it’s not worth going for it in combination with Blade of the Ruined King, you’ll be way too squishy. You should do your best to predict where Riven will be and be there before them. It's very hard to match their mobility, so having good macro knowledge is key. It's best to build Trinity Force and hope the sheer damage will carry you through the 1v1. Past level 6 their all-in potential is disgusting and you can't realistically win sometimes unless you flash their R or wait to outscale them at level 9. Start Doran’s Shield, Rush Bramble first item, then go into a Sheen. Next, build a Hearthbound Axe, then Plated Steelcaps. Go Sterak’s 2nd item to survive their burst, and Death’s Dance 3rd item if they have 3+ AD. Go Resolve Secondary, take Bone Plating and Unflinching. ”

joelspaho121 says “Similar to renekton.d shield start with bone plating on resolve..riven has a lot of mobility on her kit which makes it extremely hard to deal with her.rushing steelcaps is a great idea as riven players try to sneak auto attacks during trades in between their abilities to deal extra damage.respect her all in and only look to fight her while her q is down.post 6 it gets a little rough so look to build an advantage earlier on.Save E when she dashes with her E or use it to save yourself when she engages with R as it will always save you.”

El Leon Gnar says “With the changes to Stridebreaker's active this is once more a skill matchup. You should have fairly straightforward Q's on her while she's trying to dash onto you, kite around her dash ranges and save your E until she gets on top of you and you should be fine. You can outtrade her in both forms as long as you control the fight and back off after your mega burst.”

Kaizin says “In this matchup you need to respect Riven's cooldowns. At level 1 she can hard outtrade you with Q >> AA >> Q >> AA >> Q >> AA. Especially if she's running ignite. At level 3 you can take short trades, try to avoid using abilities on her shield and like I said play around her cooldowns. Build bramble vest early as she AA's a lot but also to counter her conqueror healing. At level 6 you can win the all in as long as she's about 70% health. ”

SirGRC says “Worth a Ban: Maybe
If it is a good riven then try and bait out her dashes and E away from her third Q. If it is a bad riven then bully her. Do not be afraid to build an hourglass. Also, remember it is better to be down 20-30 CS than to be up 2-3 deaths.”

Humitaxx says “Usually Riven is a scary match up since every fight with her is a close call, but as a tank, riven is an easy win, since you will endure most of her damage, even at level 1 with only your E, just try to trade smartly and then you win the moment you get your W.”

deathwalker7119 says “Try to parry her third Q, it is usually really telegraphed. A good riven might be able to beat you but it should still be Fiora favored. You need to watch out for a w - q - auto - ult burst.

Womsky says “Scaling set up, riven is a broken champion if used by people who one trick her, they take her combos to a level where you get insta killed from 60% hp to 0% by a flashy combo where you can't even move your champion, but don't worry, diamond and below does't have that many riven hardcore OTPs, so you have the upper hand mostly in this matchup cause your champion is much more stright forward to do and ur combos are easier to pull out, basics of this match up is to hold on to your fury and keep high hp, level 1 get some fury and walk towards her to AA trade, if she uses her Q to farm level 1, and u know it is on CD, spin into her even if you have 20% fury, cause riven can't win AA battle with you, she needs her abilities to beat you, this matchup heavily relays on which summoner spells both of you runs, if she runs TP, you can be more dominant, if she runs ignite, give her alot of respect, if u run ghost, look to scale and get 6 before going too hard on her or look for CDs windows, once she reaches level 3, u to wait her to waste her abblies before going in, if you spin into her, she can disengage very easily.
Her Q is her main ability, so the best time to go in is when she wastes that one, and wave control is VERY important in this matchup cause if she ever freezes the wave on her side, u wont be able to farm plus ahe harras you for free, post 6, care for her burst, stay high hp and wait ur chance for all ins, ulti on 20% hp if she has ulti, or 25% if u want it safe.
In the mid game she will rush 45% CDR, so punishing her CDs becomes very hard "cause she won't have ones" so ghost becomes EXTREAMLY strong in this stage of the game, cause if you catch her away from her turret you run her down with ghost, she will have very high burst so respect that, she still annoying to deal with at all stages of the game tho.”

RealIreliaCarriesU says “Largely depends on how good she is, matchup is fairly even but Riven outscales Irelia 1v1 after she gets enough CDR. I recommend being passive early and starting E, if she jumps on you stun her in your minion wave and back off. Once it crashes to your tower it will start pushing back and you will have passive. This is the best time to fight her (just like any other melee lane). Try to predict where they will dash with their E, almost 80%+ they will try to dash in the opposite direction to avoid your E but make sure to drag it out enough to cover yourself if she dashes into you as well. If you clip her with your E and you have your stacks you 100% win, try to use your W on her CC (either predict her W or react to her 3rd q). After 6 the lane gets a bit bloodier, you can use minions to avoid her abilities and kite out her shield, never ever Q her shield if you can help it, its 1.5 seconds to wait out, dont let her get value out of it. To open up post 6 try to have your passive stacked or will have it stacked when you go in and ult her. If she avoids your E you can still beat her. You can continue to fight her the same way however I would avoid fighting her after 2 items if you are not ahead of her.

Overall, just Q spam poke and save your E. Use it to get her back into the fight and stop her from escaping.”

Kokob5 says “Skill match up. Will depend if she can go in for quick trades against you and get away. If you land E and Q as she dashes away you'll usually win because of your W's heal.

Her power comes from using abilities to CC you or Shield herself and then auto attacking you. A big tip is to never fight her when you don't have a W proc.”

Runtley says “Riven can be hard or good matchup since 50% of riven players suck it can be easy. Really just poke whenever she tries and farm and run away when she tries to go in. Sitting is a push won't help since she has so many AOE abilities but if you windle her down she's no problem.”

However you only need to woorry about her last Q jump.
If you block it with your Q then you have enough time to make some distance so that she cann not catch you with W and E.
Also be warry of flash engages and lvl 6 all ins.
In those cases the "block last Q" advice still stands true however with flash its way less predictable and with Ult she can deal lots of damage so dont be greedy with yours”

EU_Toxicity says “Your E will cancel her 3rd Q if you time it well. If you succeed at pulling her out of it all-in immediately as she will never win a 1v1 without her Q up, especially before 6. The key to winning vs riven is to stay high health and look for all-in windows. I prefer going cleaver in this matchup because it makes you much tankier allowing you to survive her burst and run her down with ghost.”
0
iZeal says “Pulling Riven out of her Q3 or her E and then baiting and dodging her W she will most likely use after means you can press Ghost and just run her down. Htting Q against Riven is very hard as she has 4 abilities to dodge it so you have to rely on your auto attacks and especially time your W such that you attack through her Q3 knockup or W stun.
After Level 6 you have to be careful of Riven's all-in as she can try to 100-0 you. Riven will outscale you in the 1v1 as 40% cdr shields and Death's Dance with insane mobility means barely any stacks for you but you can easily disrupt her in teamfights by pulling her, allowing your team to burst her.

NoxianBlood says “Riven has a lot of damage for you even able to build even a single resistance to stop her, she will tend to snowball you hard trying the level ahead trades cause she knows that you will outscale her damage with thornmail and allot of armor plus health, just survive laning phase try to make the most gold out of it but like other threats try to lock her down at one point and kill her before she kills your squishies, she knows that you are not the first target so mid to late game she will focus other targets first, so try to stun her and land all your abilities on her and peel some damage carry to kill her quickly. Also, don't fight her when you see her ult, her ult gives her extra damage to her all of her abilities so wait it out and engage her when her ult his down, and don't underestimate her auto cancels.”

AWierdShoe says “Contest the push level 1. Go for 1 auto Q trades level 1, and then back out. Position your blade up constantly throughout the lane. Never taunt in aggressively unless it’s super clear your gonna win the trade, she’s good at chasing you down. Level 3+ is when you’re gonna start winning the trades while both your W and E are up. Use W early on in the trade, and if she tries to keep trading when it ends just taunt backwards (through her if you can) and wait for them to be up again. You’ll win trades this way, and if she tries to just not trade you, just force her to by hitting her with an empowered Q auto every time she walks up for a last-hit.

I Am Goliath says “Hard matchup because she has so much mobility to dodge your Q's and E's and she has two ways to cancel your Q. I've won this matchup a few times early on in the laning phase but I feel like if the riven is good the lane is definitely in her favor. It's still very hard for her to kill you though so I don't have a huge problem with this matchup, just poke as much as you can and if she E's your E then try to go in for a quick trade while her shield is down. Never 1v1 all in her though especially when she is 6 because she has more consistent damage than you.”

I Am Goliath says “If the riven is super good she can win this matchup but you should win this in lane, you outrade her and your Q messes up her combo a lot, also use your W to dodge a Q or even her ult.”

TrinityForceYasuo says “So riven... Wait for her to use her Q at last 1 part of it and 2 would be the safest bet. After she does you can go and trade with her. Play around her cooldowns especially her Q which is her main ability which allows her to do the AA cancels and output so much damage. Try to bait overall her abilities and then you are able to run her down. Level 1 and 2 you can go to harass her if she goes to last hit the minions. Respect her level 6 because if she does everything or almost everything right she can kill you easily. When she does her 3rd Q try to time your dash well so you can dodge it, that simple thing if you learn the timing can make the difference if you gonna win the 1v1. When she uses E wait for it to expire then use EQ. Freeze against her and make her vulnerable to ganks and you can do really short trades without her being able to trade back.”

Saarlichenbog says “Riven is extremely vulnerable to 'all-in' trades. In lane, usually around her Q2 or Q3 she tends to blow most of her mobility spells which is perfect for Kalista. Riven is also relies on overlevelling her opponent to snowball which is why as long as you don't hand her any early kills then she basically cannot outscale you before the end of the game.”

Captain Dantems says “Depende o estilo estilo de jogo, pois se ela começar com o Q fique pokeando ela com seu Q e passiva da poção corrupta, mas se ela começar com o E use o seu Ctrl + 2 (que se parece a animação do seu Q) para engana-lá e você dar um tiro nela. Grasp. ”

ItsPaulygon says “This will all go down to skill. If you don't let her cc you, and stun her, you win. If she trades with you and can escape, you're screwed. A good Riven player will always know how to deal with a Jax. Try to beat her early even though it will be hard for you. Try your best. If you can beat her early, you can do fairly well the rest of the game against her. Once she reaches 6, be very careful especially if you're on low health.”

You have a special option here:
Ghost ignite

Frostyfps says “Largely depends on how good she is, matchup is fairly even but Riven outscales Irelia 1v1 after she gets enough CDR. I recommend being passive early and starting E, if she jumps on you stun her in your minion wave and back off. Once it crashes to your tower it will start pushing back and you will have passive. This is the best time to fight her (just like any other melee lane). Try to predict where they will dash with their E, almost 80%+ they will try to dash in the opposite direction to avoid your E but make sure to drag it out enough to cover yourself if she dashes into you as well. If you clip her with your E and you have your stacks you 100% win, try to use your W on her CC (either predict her W or react to her 3rd q). After 6 the lane gets a bit bloodier, you can use minions to avoid her abilities and kite out her shield, never ever Q her shield if you can help it, its 1.5 seconds to wait out, dont let her get value out of it. To open up post 6 try to have your passive stacked or will have it stacked when you go in and ult her. If she avoids your E you can still beat her. You can continue to fight her the same way however I would avoid fighting her after 2 items if you are not ahead of her.”

qasddsa says “Skill matchup. Take Press the Attack so you'll be able to trade back with her & burst.
With PtA, you can scare her off pre-3 and get some easy damage off before she gets all her skills. You'll want to go W max second (or put a few points into it during laning phase) to sustain and get the movement speed to kite her.
In lane, the moment she starts using her Q + E to move towards you, you want to immediately step back with W and Q and wait for her to turn to trade back.”

ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR / SPELLBOOK SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Riven matchup is usually determined of how skilled the Riven player is. In laning phase you must respect her, she is really strong lvl 1, look to bait her Q so she hits the whole wave and there for it will push towards you, sometimes Riven players go for Tiamat but usually they are somewhat similar to Aatrox in their build path but even harder since they want to have as much CDR as possible early on. You must respect her early on since she has insane ammount of damage and she can stack Conqueror super quickly due to the huge ammount of autoattack resets she has with all 3 of her Basic Abillities. Once you hit lvl 6 and Sheen you can start looking for short trades since Riven doesn't have as much sustain as Nasus if she overcommits to the trade with all her cooldowns you can kill her. When she's going in, you must look at her Blade, if it is lightning up and it becomes bigger, it means that she casted her R therefor she gains a lot of damage, so as soon as she overcommits to you and you see her blade shinning up, look to ult as fast as possible. Once you get 2-3 Items you already outscaled her unless she has a lot of kills. In this matchup i recommend going Conqueror since it will help you outank her damage via lifesteal and Ghost is a must go if you want to kill her. Later on to the game, its really depedant on how ahead are you of Riven and how the enemy team composition is, usually its better to splitpush since she has a decent ammount of damage and CC and Aoe spells without considering her team.”

Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ghost + Flash or Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start or Dorans Blade start. As far as deciding between ghost or ignite, be honest with yourself. Are the riven players at your elo kiting you enough to the point you need the ghost? Or can you get successful allins because they waste their cooldowns going into you so you can use nimbus cloak from ignite to stick to them. Tryndamere is stronger then riven in level 1 and level 2 allins (as long as riven doesnt have ignite), BUT only when you play it well. You want to build up fury before engaging a trade versus Riven and you want to avoid taking small trade damage while building up fury, once you have built over 25% fury is usually when you can be aggressive and look for a trade. Riven players that know the matchup will typically play back after you have built up fury so what you want to do is get level 2 advantage by pushing in the wave and then pushing the second wave completely into turret so that the wave "bounces" back to you (pushes back towards you.) If you couldn't find a good trade into riven on the first two waves just play back and safe until the wave crashes back into your turret. You can walk up and auto minions as its pushing back to you, but if she looks to trade then just walk up and spin away from the minion (while killing it to get the farm.) In this matchup you want to make sure you are always trading with minion advantage and that you are in a good position in lane to force an extended trade. Riven will win all short trades (played correctly) so Tryndamere must look for extended trades. On Riven's first back she will most likely pick up a CDR item which will allow her to extend her Q. What extending her q means, is that if she uses her Q, and waits till the very last second to use her 2nd and third q's then she can go instantly right into another set of q's. This is very powerful against tryndamere and will provide really good burst and/or allow her to disengage after trading. Spots where Tryndamere can punish Riven is purely how the Riven player uses her cooldowns. If she does not extend her q enough then there will be a longer cooldown until she can use her set of 3 dashes again. If you notice riven use her w or e without it being a trade on you, you can look for a trade. Every trade you must be willing to all in with ghost if you see an opportunity to run her down. In the mid-late game duels against Riven are all about if you can stick onto her and force the allin, and the way Riven wants to win is by bursting you to force your ultimate then kite away. Tryndamere's Ghost + CDR will help him all in a riven but must pick a good spot preferably with rageblade stacked as well as full fury and ghost ready. If you are winning against Riven look to pressure her hard, and potentially look for dives under her turret. If you are losing, look to push out waves and rotate to other waves, jungle camps, or flank opportunities.”

Nabura says “The epitome of all spacing matchups. If she uses enough spells to close the gap, she'll lack the damage to actually kill you.

ZergDood says “The hardest this matchup can be at even levels is while you're at level 1 (she has an advantage). Try to kill 7 minions before her and take W level 2. Whenever she Q's, try to take on the 3rd Q with your W (Good Riven players won't go and spam her Q's, they have combos and baits and you'll have to react to it instead of "predicting"), this way you're avoiding CC and starting a good trade. She has another dash that gives her a shield. You can play around that and go for more harass with your Q. Remember to play out of her range, and you should be fine. This is an ideal matchup for Poppy. Your W stops her dashes (all of them, really).”

wallobear53 says “Keep a track of her Q charge count as the third one is the most dangerous for you and will CC you if she manages to hit you with it. She can easily extend the duration of her CC with her W, so make sure you dodge her third Q charge.
Don’t get too close to her in the lane as she can easily E onto you and the W you to CC you immediately, followed by dishing out a ton of damage with her Q and Auto-Attacks.
Once she gets her Ultimate, her dueling potential skyrockets and you don’t want to be fighting her while you are too low on health and lack some form of mobility or damage mitigation. Fighting her when her Ultimate is down will give you a much better chance of winning a duel.

Si elle ne connait pas le match up, tu peux prendre ton Z niveau 1, et lui faire perdre énormément de vie !
Respecte énormément son niveau 6, elle peut littéralement te 100% a 0% en quelques secondes si tu utilises mal tes sorts ! Apprend à anticiper ses sorts, et impose ton rythme et cela reste jouable.

Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ghost + Flash or Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start or Dorans Blade start. As far as deciding between ghost or ignite, be honest with yourself. Are the riven players at your elo kiting you enough to the point you need the ghost? Or can you get successful allins because they waste their cooldowns going into you so you can use nimbus cloak from ignite to stick to them. Tryndamere is stronger then riven in level 1 and level 2 allins (as long as riven doesnt have ignite), BUT only when you play it well. You want to build up fury before engaging a trade versus Riven and you want to avoid taking small trade damage while building up fury, once you have built over 25% fury is usually when you can be aggressive and look for a trade. Riven players that know the matchup will typically play back after you have built up fury so what you want to do is get level 2 advantage by pushing in the wave and then pushing the second wave completely into turret so that the wave "bounces" back to you (pushes back towards you.) If you couldn't find a good trade into riven on the first two waves just play back and safe until the wave crashes back into your turret. You can walk up and auto minions as its pushing back to you, but if she looks to trade then just walk up and spin away from the minion (while killing it to get the farm.) In this matchup you want to make sure you are always trading with minion advantage and that you are in a good position in lane to force an extended trade. Riven will win all short trades (played correctly) so Tryndamere must look for extended trades. On Riven's first back she will most likely pick up a CDR item which will allow her to extend her Q. What extending her q means, is that if she uses her Q, and waits till the very last second to use her 2nd and third q's then she can go instantly right into another set of q's. This is very powerful against tryndamere and will provide really good burst and/or allow her to disengage after trading. Spots where Tryndamere can punish Riven is purely how the Riven player uses her cooldowns. If she does not extend her q enough then there will be a longer cooldown until she can use her set of 3 dashes again. If you notice riven use her w or e without it being a trade on you, you can look for a trade. Every trade you must be willing to all in with ghost if you see an opportunity to run her down. In the mid-late game duels against Riven are all about if you can stick onto her and force the allin, and the way Riven wants to win is by bursting you to force your ultimate then kite away. Tryndamere's Ghost + CDR will help him all in a riven but must pick a good spot preferably with rageblade stacked as well as full fury and ghost ready. If you are winning against Riven look to pressure her hard, and potentially look for dives under her turret. If you are losing, look to push out waves and rotate to other waves, jungle camps, or flank opportunities.”

Dantheman81 says “Riven can do a lot of damage to you at all levels and can escape a lot of your damage. Just be smart and attack her after she uses he Q when you have your ultimate up and you should be able to kill her. Play very safe and smart and try not to give her an early lead.”

Your W prevents her abilities which sounds like an easy counter, but in practice you won't get many good disables on her and she will just outdamage you.

Discord Rengar Mains says “Frustrating matchup for the most part, you can pressure her heavily from the very early game but from level 3 onwards she will just dash away from everything you throw at her. Early is in your favor, however if she gets to level 6 without any problems she can start wrecking your shit, and she gets more annoying the longer the game goes on. If you do manage to snowball however she will be left behind into the dirt and have a hard time coming back into the game, which you have to abuse in order to end it early.
Ignite works fine for the early game threat. You can go either grasp or conqueror, the former to secure the early game win and / or go stasis, the second one if you just want to duel her at any point in the game.”

TrollingSmurfGr says “Very much a skill matchup. Riven's third Q can be repelled by a well-timed Flay. If mistimed, it will still hit you and you'll be knocked back. Clever use of Riven's stun can guarantee you get hit by the third Q, however, so make sure you carefully use distance. Sometimes Flaying away won't be the answer. Stuns do NOT stop your Q animation, so if you predict a stun, use your own one to minimise her advantage. There's a lot to learn here, so best to learn by just playing.”

Thr3shPrinc3 says “This is purely a skill matchup. In my opinion it is one of the more fun lanes to play in since it challenges you a lot, but you can still win the lane. You can cancel out Riven's third Q and stop her from knocking you up. This will be crucial to you winning fights with her. Since she is still a melee champ you can poke her out of lane and get a gold lead with minions and turret plating. If the Riven is really good with her champion she can still kill you by timing her W stun so that she ensures her third Q and by mitigating your poke through using her E. The more you play in this lane, the more likely you will be to win. ”

Daedralus says “Surprisingly, not that difficult of a matchup. If you use your Q to latch, you can even dodge her ult by going behind her. You can catch any of her dashes, and are also immune to her 3rd Q if you can Q with good timing. Your E drastically reduces her burst, and your ult simply brings your entire HP back to you. She can still kill you if you do a mistake however, but with these tips mentioned, you will be fine if you can follow. You also dominate her at mid-game when you have 2 items completed. ”

Xelaadryth says “If you have low ping and fast reflexes, this matchup should go heavily in your favor. Auto-attack at max range. If she moves in to engage, Energy Ball away while landing your Q and W (with a single auto mark your ensuing stun will stop her engage) and she can't touch you. Good Rivens will fast combo their shield and knockup to chain stun you with Ki Burst, but then they'll have nothing left except autos to duel you with. Still, kite backwards since Riven's auto-attack damage is not to be underestimated. If you play optimally, Riven shouldn't be able to reach you without burning flash. You can choose to Energy Ball to evade her engage, or if you want to fight to the death, Energy Ball gives you enough tankiness to stop a lot of her burst.”

yetusek says “Lethal Tempo Runes. Ghost + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Tryndamere is stronger than riven in level 1 and level 2 allins (as long as riven doesnt have ignite), BUT only when you play it well. You want to build up fury before engaging a trade versus Riven and you want to avoid taking small trade damage while building up fury, once you have built over 25% fury is usually when you can be aggressive and look for a trade. Riven players that know the matchup will typically play back after you have built up fury so what you want to do is get level 2 advantage by pushing in the wave and then pushing the second wave completely into turret so that the wave "bounces" back to you (pushes back towards you.) If you couldn't find a good trade into riven on the first two waves just play back and safe until the wave crashes back into your turret. You can walk up and auto minions as its pushing back to you, but if she looks to trade then just walk up and spin away from the minion (while killing it to get the farm.) In this matchup you want to make sure you are always trading with minion advantage and that you are in a good position in lane to force an extended trade. Riven will win all short trades (played correctly) so Tryndamere must look for extended trades. On Riven's first back she will most likely pick up a CDR item which will allow her to extend her Q. What extending her q means, is that if she uses her Q, and waits till the very last second to use her 2nd and third q's then she can go instantly right into another set of q's. This is very powerful against tryndamere and will provide really good burst and/or allow her to disengage after trading. Spots where Tryndamere can punish Riven is purely how the Riven player uses her cooldowns. If she does not extend her q enough then there will be a longer cooldown until she can use her set of 3 dashes again. If you notice riven use her w or e without it being a trade on you, you can look for a trade. Every trade you must be willing to all in with ghost if you see an opportunity to run her down. In the mid-late game duels against Riven are all about if you can stick onto her and force the allin, and the way Riven wants to win is by bursting you to force your ultimate then kite away. Tryndamere's Ghost + CDR will help him all in a riven but must pick a good spot preferably with rageblade stacked as well as full fury and ghost ready. If you are winning against Riven look to pressure her hard, and potentially look for dives under her turret. If you are losing, look to push out waves and rotate to other waves, jungle camps, or flank opportunities.”

The advantage why to pick Shen and not Volibear or Orn is that you also do not need mana. Let Heil Blades to do its work and then Riven will be afraid of you. But there is a thing you should avoid and that is her ultimate. You should not fight her when your HP is very low. ”

Chromuro says “She has more damage than you nearly at every stage of the game, you have to play smartly around her. Poke her as much as you can with your Q, if she engages you start to headbutt your keyboard to unleash every skill you have. You can use your hands too, but with the head it's more funny and you'll be too dazed to tilt in case you lose lane”

MeliMeliDH says “Riven is just one of those annoying champions for everyone, especially for non-tanks. Luckily you are tank Karma!
I'd recommend running Ninja Tabi and Kindlegem asap in this matchup aswell. If their jungler is something with hard cc, like Elise, Jax, etc, you could also take tenacity from presicion tree as your secondary runes, along with triump.
The important thing to keep in mind is your distance. IF you stay at the edge of your AA range, she can get to you, but she has to blow all her spells.
If she uses her Q, wait until the second activation before you shield and run away.
Once she has used her third Q, immediately try to root her, and get in a couple of Auto attacks. I would recommend saving your Q until she has used shield.
If you get Glacial Shroud, Ninja Tabi and Kindlegem before she hits lvl 6, there's shouldn't be a way she can 100 to 0 you, unless she can get in auto attacks inbetween each ability cast. Still, be ware of her all in potential if you get cc'd by a jungler.”

SoulHero says “HAHAHAHAH, MY FAVORITE MATCHUP(YOU STOMP ON HER), I have never lost solo lane to a riven and I refuse to believe I will. UPGRADE E FIRST LVL 1 YOU OUTRADE HER SO HARD. You probably get first blood if she fights or 3/4 her health bar if she flees. SHE ONLY WINS IF YOU CANT REACT TO HER POKE. Some higher elo rivens spam e q and q away just shaving off your healthbar until your low enough to die. If you flip her during this, she dies. BTW YOU CAN CANCEL HER THIRD Q OR OVERRIDE HER W STUN WITH YOUR E. ”

Riven is so easily able to kite you with her low cooldown movement abilities and once she has Essence Reaver her damage is so insane that you will die before your ghouls and Maiden can even target her. If you solo kill a Riven at any point pre level 11, that Riven is either 1. Bad or 2. Doesn't understand Yorick whatsoever, in either case if this happens continue to kill her.”

Lil Tidepod says “Riven can be a real annoying matchup. She has a stun, a relatively easy to land knockup, lots of mobility, and can output a lot of damage. Early in the laning phase, you can probably go toe-to-toe and win most of the time, but eventually Riven will win out unless she's new to the champion. Late game, she more than likely won't be able to kill you, mid is the same, but early she really has potential to get a kill, and by early I mean until level 6. If she does get a kill, don't fight her until you've finished building a tank item or two.”

DrMoneybags says “Riven hasn't really ever been a problem for me personally. Top-tier rivens are probably much harder to face, but most of the time you can just take ignite and beat her fairly easily. You have the tools to follow up her mobility, and as long as you don't eat all 3 of her Q's you can out-trade her with your W early on. Just be careful once she hits level 6, she can easily execute you once you dismount. I recommend taking double dorans blade early and grabbing a Steraks and Tabis at some point to easily counter-act most of her damage.”

Big Boy Matty D says “She will beat you in level 1 / 2 trades, let her get overconfident and try to keep health topped up using corruption potion. When she all-ins level 3 bait her back to your minion line and clap her.

Fortunately you see when she start using q and she need to use it twice before stuning you so if you are not greedy there is no problem. Be careful tho if she conect to you she can kill you and it's hard to kill her when she is close because of her movement. Poking her is not easy because of her shield witch she can spam because she don't have mana. But if you will play safe and don't feed she will fade and will be weak in team fights compare to you.”

Prioriza cancelarle la 3 'Q' con tu 'W' o su 'E'; recuerda que ella puede hacer muchas 'plays'
Ejemplo:
>>> Te mete dos 'Q' y la 'W', lo cual teja vulnerable con su 3° 'Q'
>>> La 'R' de la mucho AD y el 'Conquistador' lo carga muy rápido (algo asi como Jayce con 'Conquistador')
>>> Si juegas con paciencia y cabeza ganas la linea, recuerda que su TF es mejor que la tuya; tiene CC en zona y te cancela facil tu 'R', por eso necesitas ser mas inteligente tanto en fase de lineas como cuando estas terminan
>>> No la dejes que se ponga 'feed'
>>> Le ganas seguro a nivel 8 a 11, pero depende de tu armado y tu armado no depende de ella sino del equipo en general
>>> Juega Riven, comprenderás mas sus ventajas y desventajas
>>> Tienes que tener varios 'matchs' con ella para poder ganar mas facil ya que por explicacion no se puede definir como ganarle, toda Riven es muy diferente en su estilo de juego mas que nada por las ventanas de combos y 'plays' que tiene el campeon”

ElleryTheViking says “Unless you're up against Box Box, this lane is also incredibly free. Level 1 if he tries to harass with you Q, turn it and spam Q him, you'll force a back or take first blood, he cant out trade you. Level 3 is a big power spike in this matchup, abuse him. You need your Q though so make sure you don't throw it far away or he'll try turn on you. Post 6 his CC is useless given your ult, making it really easy to kill him. He will only win this lane if you do something stupid. If it's a stalemate in lane he will kill you late game. ”

Samas says “Your E denies her the use of AA resets from her q where majority of her damage comes from early game, when she is done with her combo she will usually back off since she cant pack a punch worthy to compete with jax for a few seconds while her abilities are down. Take those extended trades, stick to her while she only has her auto attacks, but dont take it too far - when she gets her abilities back up and you are still on her, you might get sent back to the fountain.”

E61K says “Go Doran's Blade + Phase Rush + Ghost + Bone Plating and Overgrowth or Demolish. With this setup you can exploit every single mistake she makes with ease. All things aside this matchup is completely dependent on how skilled the Riven is. Chances are if you're facing a Riven who is below Diamond 2 and/or is not maining the champion she is gonna feed you. If it's a good Riven it will be harder. The key to winning this matchup is to use your E rather defensively than aggressively. To cancel her 3rd Q to be exact. If she is bad and you notice it (comes with experience) you can use it aggressively. If you struggle then rushing Tabis and then going Phage is a good way to create more room for error in this lane. Lane snowballs heavy from both sides but Riven snowballs harder since she is by far more mobile than Darius. Luckily for you almost every Riven you are gonna meet is gonna int you.”

SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: CC, Mobility, Burst Damage. Weaknesses: Squishy, No built in Sustain, Out-scaled. This matchup can go either way for both Riven and Fiora. This is truly a skill matchup for both champs. I'd give the edge to Fiora in this fight but only because of Fiora's W. Riposte is a wonderful tool in her kit and not only does it block every ability in the game, but it also redirects CC back and slows attack speed. This is where Riven gets crippled in the matchup. Fiora's W can negate Riven's 3rd Q knockup and W and CC her back. This easily turns the fight in Fiora’s favor but it’s not as easy as it seems because the Riven is probably smart enough to hold onto her 3rd Q to bait out Fiora's W. It is an excellent matchup to see due to all the mind games that go into the matchup itself. Be aware of Riven's cooldowns on her Q and W and either riposte or dodge her cc if you can. Keep track of when Riven’s 3rd Q is up and look for a punish whenever possible if she tries to 3rd Q into you.”

Miracle Matter says “One of the funnest, most exciting matchups for Splitpush Zilean. Who would have thought that Zilean vs. Riven 1v1 is a pure skill matchup?
The key here is that the lane is EXTREMELY VOLATILE. If you get one kill early, you can force her to farm under tower while you harass her out of lane. If she gets one kill early, she can one-shot you during her stun/Q3 knockup without even giving you a chance to revive. Do not let her close to you. Poke with singular bombs. If she ever tries to all-in you, double-bomb yourself, then run away as she's stunned.”

drunken hunter says “Riven can counter Rengar pretty hard becaue she got a lot cc and low cooldowns. But you can outplay Riven, if you do it right the matches against her will be easier. In the early game you wait for her (Q) that she can use three times (the third time is the knock up) then you do the lvl 1 poke and the lvl 2/3 engage as fast as you can (dont forget to exhaust her). You use the bushes to outplay Riven - everytime she is about to trade you with her (Q), run into the next bush and jump on a minion that is far away from her. If you have the black cleaver before Riven gets it, the trades will be easier for you.”

Proxxecube says “Similar to Camille, this can either be the easiest possible match-up, or entirely skill. So, figure out for yourself based on her movements and mechanics, and make macro decisions from there. I.e., stay under tower, call for a gank, etc. The more obviously worse they are, the more agro you can be. ”

Vonhoons says “Pre level 6 you can win fights if you stay in your minion back line and make her use CD's to get to you. This is a skill matchup
However once she reaches level 6 she can just all in and one shot you. Go Iceborn if you die repeatedly”

Cstrange says “You have to be careful against Riven, try not to let her get close but if she does just wait for her abilities to run out so she retreats then follow her with your abilities. So long as you were doing damage while she was attacking you, you should be able to out damage her in the long run.”

Trixelkour says “Burns you on the dance floor as she Qs around you and deal so much damage that you'll regret shoving the lane. Play around her ability to CS. W the place where she is going for a minion and E if she gets too near. Timing is absolute key in winning against her. Get Righteous Glory early on and Rylai's/Lichbane for early kill pressure. Take Grasp or Aftershock as Rivens tend to get in your face, or Dark Harvest if you're confident.”

E61K says “You win level 1-2 and lose after that, until you get your core, or she screws up, or you outplay her or when she is just straight up bad. She is a CD reliant champion though so trading with her when you know her abilities are on CD is a good way to get some damage in. Tabis are very good in this lane but will restrict you from killing her in lane solo. You outscale Riven. Post-6 you gotta be careful. If she is 6 and you're not 6 don't walk up. A good Riven will wait until your Q stacks are at 0 and then look to engage. Her Wind Slash is an execute and she will try to use it when you're low to get maximum damage in, which she will have to do if you rushed Tabis. Her Wind Slash can be windwalled but any decent Riven will just Wind Slash when you're CC'd from Broken Wings or Ki Burst. Do your best and disengage when she ults unless you clearly have the advantage.”

Omega best says “Depends on skills, if riven is bad you are defenetly gonna win because you will just have to wait until she wastes her dash and jump then you flip her in your minions and kill her, if she is good be careful and call for ganks, wait for the right moment when her abilities are charging then attack her. Build armor play safe and call for ganks if needed”

Beartrand says “Riven is as powerful champion if played correctly. But, in my experience laning against her, I almost always won every time.

Making sure you guys are even and she doesn't get ahead makes you beat her after the laning phase. ”

Ashnard says “Riven is a skill matchup more than anything as you both share similar combos and trade patterns.

DERPFISHrejects says “You need to harass Riven down to make her too scared to fight you due to health difference. In a raw 1v1 she will almost always beat you if she's good, but if she's half hp and you're not you will almost always win.”

Tips Against Riven in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
officialwiseguy says “She's melee so you have that over her, but other than your advantages are essentially none. Poke and abuse early as much as possible, try to get seeker's armguard ASAP and once she hits level 6 do not come closer than about 80% of your q range unless you have teammates present.”
0
ThePieBeam says “If she gets on top of you, you're dead. She has two ways of ignoring your wall and slows barely work since she basically paths with her Q anyways. Your only hope is to play it with perfect positioning. Short of that she's just going to cc you to death. Also, don't ever think you're safe just because you're winning. This champ can kill a lvl 18 champ at lvl 3 with only a long sword and some boots. Thankfully if you're getting pummeled and manage to make it to turret, egg *should* save you in the early game.”
0
xmarksthesp0t says “She has stuns, dashes and shields and a huge amount of damage at all stages of the game. Prepar to stay away when you see Q(1) since Q(2) and Q(3) will eventually come. Not much to say. You wont be able to take care of her until lategame and even then its a skillduel. If she gets some of her stun Q(3) or E in, and you dont ult in time you are pretty dead.”

TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Riven has much more mobility on a much lower cooldown than Akshan. She is very threatening in the laning phase and you should only step up to poke her and look for farming when you have grapple up. If grapple is down stay back and farm with Q. Poke if she oversteps or grows impatient but do not overstep. She can 100-0 you with a phage.”
0
lonestar1870 says “Can be hard to land your poke on her, but there's not really much she can do unless you position really poorly.
Save your E for when she tries to engage on you, you likely need to E-Q.
Be careful of her flash engage, play a bit safer if you know it is up.
This lane is very easy if the riven is bad, but a good riven will be hard to land poke on. Try to Q her when her shield is down.
Try to slowpush and crash large waves on her, then poke her under tower.
Phase Rush is nice so you can easily escape her engage and kite her, but you can go Electrocute more kill threat.
I prefer Teleport, but ignite is fine too.
Zhonas/seekers is decent if their team is mostly AD.”

WayOfTheTempesst says “ imo Riven is the only champion who outscales Yone or comes very close. This matchup is by far one of the worst just bc she can chain cc you if you ever get near her while also chunking you. Since you cant win the all in, I would take fleet and just try to win the sustain battle to get her out of lane. take boneplating and revitalize.”
0
WayOfTheTempesst says “This matchup throughout League history has always favored Riven and I feel like it favors her even more recently due to the items she can build. The only time you really beat Riven is lvl 1-2 due to her not having all of her abilities yet. If you haven't gotten a good trade against her first 2 lvls she pretty much just controls the lane past that point. Try to kite to minions when she starts Qing on you and going back onto her when her Q is down. Post 6 try to windwall before she stuns you to try to not get hit by the 2nd part of her ulti, although a good Riven will always hit you with it by chain ccing you. Don't E directly onto riven or else she will just stun you and turn on you pretty easily, instead try to nado from afar to force her to use her E to dodge then you can go on her when her shield is down. ”

Xelikari says “Riven, like anyone who can get in your face and is strong early has good kill pressure on you. Don't shove the wave too far and try not to overheat when her combo is up, bait her into fighting in your minions early on, but make sure she has to use a Q1 & Q2 to get to you, or you lose the trade. Seekers->Tabi. Smart trades and you can win this matchup”

KeNaNFoR says “Riven-Riven-Riven, what a nasty matchup for Kassadin. She's too good and strong. Why is that? And all this is because she can easily punish for a mistake. Her combo and high damage at the beginning makes Kassadin stand under the tower and wait for lvl 11. If you want to counter Riven, then try to farm yourself two items and then you can fight with her on equal terms.”

Dr Eggmund says “Poke with Q's and Auto Attack's but don't step up to far as you will be jumped on and punished by her damage. Especially if Riven takes Thunderlord's she will out burst you in the early levels and CC you for an eternity. Our biggest issue is her mobility however so when she has cooldowns up that's when you respect her, but when she doesn't get as much poke and damage on her as you can.”

resetwice says “Shes tanky and gives a lot of damage! Her kit is very good against Talon. Try to avoid her Q's and W stun jumping a wall, just all win when she wastes her E so no more shield. In general, she will win most duels so I think it's better to roam more. BEST RUNES TO GO: CONQUEROR”

TheSecretsWithin says “Riven with her multiple dashes and AOE CC is a problem for Kassadin.
Though there is something you can count on, the fact that her abilities have a long cooldown. If she tries to all-in you and fails, this is the perfect time to punish, though don't get cocky seeing that she is low. Even when low, she can still burst you with a full combo, so just punish and farm up.”

Zileni says “Pretty hard, especially against a Riven OTP. You can easily abuse her cooldowns, however she is still gonna beat you in damage output. If she uses her Q on the wave you can go in. This is all about knowing when Riven has her cooldowns in the early game. Use your ultimate against her Q3 or Ultimate since most of her outplay potential comes from those abilities.”

elnino9 says “Avoid an auto attack battle early on, she wins every time. Go for quick pokes to proc electrocute by setting up Q dagger on a minion. Don't do damage through her shield, let it finish so you don't waste your cooldowns on nothing. If she ults, shunpo away immediately. If you don't have Shunpo in this scenario, you're fu****. Never fight riven when she has a big sword. Avoid all-ining when she has 3rd Q ready to go. Go in/out - you don't have to keep fighting her, especially in lane.”

WolfRider01 says “Riven can easily run Yasuo down, however when her abilities are on cooldown she loses hard to Yasuo. Avoid her stun and her Q3, and then hard engage her. Basically, let her start the fights, avoid what you can, and then you can end the fights. At level 6 she can one shot you if you're at or around half HP if she knows her animation cancels. Be mindful, she can hide her R animation with W and E, and she can also cast several spells at once (i.e. Q+W+E, E+W, E+R, W+R, Q+W+ER etc). If they're a riven that knows what they're doing, you'll likely lose. ”

Veralion says “HoB/Sword. Rare to find it mid, but every once in a while you might decide to swap with your top laner to avoid a bad lane. Hail of Blades, as with almost any other melee champion, makes Riven completely unable to take an extended trade in the early game. The best she can do is to Q into range, W, and E away. This is easy to sustain through. If she does not go for the pokey trade pattern and instead decides to keep autoing you, tear her face off. I do suggest building Seeker's, as her all in at 6 may kill you before you can kill her otherwise. Also, you should remember to never go near her while she has her ult and you do not have yours. Even while behind, she can all in and kill you in the blink of an eye if you do not respect her. She's an easy duel with your ult, but she's tough to chase down and finish off through all those dashes. You may need both flash and the Gunblade slow to do so. Ult at her right after she uses Q3 on the wave for best results. If she survives, shove in and zone her off the wave. Diving without ult is highly inadvisable. ”

RikudouDovahkiin says “Riven is a really hard match-up for unexperienced Vladimir players, her shield will block some of your early combos/pokes. Rylai and kiting will be your best friends, even after Rylai you could immediately go for a magic pen item, which will be incredibly useful against a MR stacking Riven. Do not give her free early scores, at late game it will be harder to keep up with game, since her late game power is not that much of a threat against good compositioned teams. In laning phase, don't let her land her all combo + auto resets on you, Rylai can help you keep a little distance or/slow and kill her. Beware of her lifesteal + Flash combos.”

Garybaldo says “Unkiteable, abnoxious, unbearable, terrible to play against, perma ban her right away”

Aus-ZM PartinG says “Low threat, but do not use your Q and E in front of her to farm or she can all in you.”
0
AwesomeTeddyBear says “She has 4 dashes, a stun, shield, sheen off of spawn, and range. Broken af”

Pumparum says “Too slippery and manaless. Clears faster than you if she shields into your snowball. Clear as best as you can and try to roam.”

Elejul says “Really hard skill matchup. You might win if you can bait her ult. also, she always wins lvl 1 fights”

SrSuders says “Eine gute Riven bzw. eine gute Riven Main kann mit der Riven Q/W/E wird das One-Shoten extrem schwer.
Jedoch spielt man um diese Fähigkeiten herum, kriegt man die Riven gut down.”

IceCreamPaintJob says “really annoying matchup, riven has always had the dominant position in this lane, but especially right now because of how overtuned she is. her base stats are just better, and her all in is better especially at level 6. if she misuses her abilities you can punish her hard, but dont walk up to her if there is no minions around, otherwise she can just run you down and kill you if the riven is good”

picarowanderer says “Pretty hard MU. Will dominate. Better stick with your team.”

RainbowNova says “She can perma-Q(Broken Wings), perma-dash and almost permanently use her W(Ki Burst). She's melee though, and you can easily outspeed her. If she manages to catches you, you're dead.”

chillin kenshi says “In lower elo's she can be killed. You have to play better than her try not to get cc'd and dodge her wind slash and land your r. Avoid her in higher elo's.”

SmokeyEggs says “Skill based, bait out her abilities and never trade when your passive isn't up, don't underestimate Riv even when low hp.”

Drdarkmage666 says “If you are against Riven dodge no counter play.
Can abuse ur long CD and prevent you from csing. Can stay on you even with phase rush due to his mobility”

Bestlover says “A good riven will oneshot yasuo everytime yasuo steps into her, so freeze the lane close to your turrent and avoid fighting her without your conquer fully stacked.

LuxIsMyCrush says “try to use your E to get away of her stun, most of times is pretty obvious when she will try to use an cc and the range of both of them are extremly low, if she active her ult just wait it to expire, as she get bonus ad and an exectuion skillshot on that period.”

Delthion says “An absolute nightmare. Thankfully, she isn't picked mid very frequently, but if she is, there's nothing I can do for you. She will absolutely demolish Kassadin. Her stuns and knock-ups completely counter your melee range, and the fact that she's AD means that you won't be shielding any of her damage. Get a lane swap if you can. If not, then you will be chunked if you try to CS using autos, and if you try to CS safely under turret, she will dive and kill you. AD champions with lots of CC are definitely the hardest ones for Kassadin to face.”

Jazzmonkey says “Totaly skill matchup. Try to avoid trades level 1. If she randomly use her E, trade her right away. Always play around her cooldowns, you can kill her if you engage her with 6 but she is able to kill you if you engages on you so keep calm and wait for mistakes.”
0
Gambinos says “This is your main counter, she's your rival and you better respect her cause she counters you hard.
She can both stun and airborne you, and as you know, Yasuo is very bad against CC.”

rimzaki says “Shes shield can be disturb save ur w for hers third Q ability She hasnt sustain but u have use ur advange good luck ”

Sozzoh says “You may not see this a lot, but when you do, be careful post-6. Pre-6, she'll play passive due to her high cooldowns. Poke the hell out of her whenever you get the chance. Post-6, be careful because she can q over your ult. Riven has insane mobility, so don't burn abilities too much near her. If it's a good Riven, they'll abuse your little mistakes and destroy you. Roaming is ideal in this matchup to gain a lead from there. If she goes in on you near your turret, ult her further into your territory. Buy Zhonya's if you feel like you'll need it.”

Cheddar Soup says “She can dodge your knock ups and then cc you to death, try to play safe and only go in when you know you can kill her.”

AQRC Turtle says “skills matchup try to dodge her CC ability and avoid early trades.”
0
Rosie Posy says “Riven has a knockup and a stun which makes it hard to fight her. It is best to fight her after she uses her W since she won't be able to stun you but she still can knock you up.”
