Riven Counters :: Counter Picking Stats for Riven by CounterStats

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. ”

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. NINJA TABIS ARE A GOOD BUY. AFTERSHOCK IS RECOMMENDED. 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. Ninja Tabis are an amazing purchase against her. Thanks to the new Conqueror giving more healing AND some Rivens opting for Death’s Dance, 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 and Grasp/PTA are usable. However, the rune that allows you to dumpster her in lane is Aftershock.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

MarkFromSingedMains says “Your W cancels her Q and E, and your E can cancel her final Q and E. At level 6 she will use all of her abilities in one go and kill you if you're not careful, and depending on how good the Riven is you might get destroyed the entire laning phase. Peel for your team and you should be fine, she can't engage whilst on your W.”

Mark's Guide to Singed: SEASON 11 GO TANK by MarkFromSingedMains | Diamond Singed Player

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.”

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.”

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.”

Lynter says “Runa Recomendada: Conquistador. Use o Q na Riven nos níveis iniciais para tirar dano e caso ela use o Q para cima, dê o máximo possível de AA que conseguir na troca, a partir do nível 3 é possível matá-la se resetar corretamente os AA da Katarina no combo EW+AA+QE+AA. Riven tem muita mobilidade para fugir das adagas e negar o dano com o shield de seu E, por isso atente-se ao posicionamento das adagas para não desperdiça-las. Não tenha receio de lutas nos níveis iniciais pois a Katarina é tão forte quanto ela. No nível 6 em diante, o dano de execução da ultimate da Riven só será utilizado caso você receber dano suficiente para ficar com aproximadamente 30% de vida, portanto, gaste o dano que puder até lá, mas use sua ultimate como recurso para auxiliar a eliminá-la, e não para finalizar, visto que uma boa Riven sempre vai parar sua ultimate, se você ao menos conseguir dar 20% do dano com o ultimate da Katarina, será um dano suficiente para poder matá-la junto com alguns AAs e o combo realizado. Caso ela esteja ficando muito forte, Ninja Tab ou Armaguarda são itens para parar seu dano, Zhonya é excelente para negar o dano da Ultimate, lembrando que ela usará sempre com o knock-up do Q ou stun do W para que você não possa fugir, então use suas habilidades para que ela não possa fazer isso, e utilize a runa Lenda: Tenacidade para minimizar esses atributos de controle de grupo. Cuidado com lugares sem visão pois poderá ser facilmente morto pela Riven, atente-se a posição dela e evite ser solado. Abuse sempre do roaming para ficar ainda mais forte na lane coletando kills com seu time, pois apesar da Riven ter uma certa vantagem no 1x1, ela não vence em roaming, mas sempre espere por uma Riven chegando nos últimos segundos da luta e cuidado para não ser morto por ela. Em lutas em equipe, espere ela gastar alguma de suas habilidades de controle de grupo e avance para matá-la com todo seu combo, ou caso exista possibilidade dela fugir, apenas tente tirar uma porcentagem de vida dela com seu combo EWQ+Pistola Gunblade e tente se reposicionar para em seguida quando houver oportunidade matá-la com seu combo e ultimate. Evite mal posicionamento pois Riven comba muito bem com flash. O potencial de perigo de Riven é extremo pois possui um kit de habilidades muito eficaz contra Katarina, com dano, mobilidade, controle de grupo e escudo.”

SethPRG says “Riven used to be a hard 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. Consider going Striderbreaker to slow 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 sidelane when they split... It won't be pretty. I haven't had too many games VS a Riven in preseason yet, but I'd say it's probably 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. You just have to hope that you can farm up and eventually outscale their Eclipse, if that's what they're going for. If they build bruiser items the matchup is less difficult, but I've only ever seen a Riven go Goredrinker just because they can make it connect to anyone they want in a team fight, you know, their 100 dashes and all. Rush Plated Steelcaps, eventually go Bramble, and get Death's Dance 2nd item.”

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Riven is tricky. You can bully her off and on with autos but her all-in is incredibly strong. Even if you're ahead she can kill you at lvl 6. Play carefully and flay her jump to avoid taking unnecessary damage. Any build works in this lane. If tank poke occasionally but focus on denying her all in (either on you or your carries). If assassin, auto her when her shield is down for some ridiculous damage. Play very carefully when squishy, if she gets her stun off before flay she will kill you.”

[10.22] AD Ahri Top! Multiple Builds by SkellyBirb | Diamond Ahri Player

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.”

SubHuman Filth says “Get grasp or electrocute. Riven is all about all ins. You need to poke her down a bit and get seekers early. You shroom the wave and ignite her and you should win the all in, if you poked her down. DO NOT GET CLOSE, she will destroy you if she gets on you lvl 3-5”

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.”

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.”

[Patch 10.21] iZeal's Aatrox compendium by iZeal | Diamond Aatrox Player

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.”

GoliathGames' Master guide to Sion by I Am Goliath | Diamond Sion Player

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.

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. Smarter Rivens will delay their Q to use 2 sets of Q spells to stick onto you. You may need to R her 3rd Q as Rivens Q3 > W > R can kill you from a pretty high threshold”

If she is a really good Riven OTP, u probably will have a hard lane since she will bait ur W/barrel with her low cooldowns and all in u hard.

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. ”

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.”

Riven is one of them as her Q and E make her very mobile and almost impossible for the W chains to proc.

Fiora Pogjet says “THis matchup is skillbased. She can go for short trades, stun you and dash out. You should try to prarry her last q jump or her W if she goes for a trade, becausethen you win every trade / fight. Lvl 6 you have to care about not getting one shotted from a big combo so use your prarry early and not too late. Then you will be able to win the fight with your ult.”

Stiwy says “She is really predicatble due to her kit. Her first five levels aren't a big deal for you and if you can predict her you can get some kills. From level 6 watch out for her ult because it has a huge burst potential. When you get to mid/late game it should be easy to kill her and survive. Start with D.Blade to be even more aggressive in early levels.”

9690 says “D-Blade. Only trade with your shield up but don't let her stun you or you lose the fight. You only win fights pre-3 honestly, after that point its over. Once she is level 3 only fight when she has w and e down. Even level 6 she can beat you if you play it incorrectly. Buffs make her even worse to play against! Take Conq.”

photonvizer says “riven is a very hard matchup because shes so mobile make sure to try and chip her out before you go for the all in because she can kill you a lot faster than you can kill her”

Aatrox build r.i.p Hashinshin by photonvizer | Aatrox Player

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.”

BloodyDream81 says “Match qui nécessite de solide connaissance de Darius et de Riven, vraiment pas évident, et très dépendant du niveau de la Riven. Il y a tout de même plusieurs astuces pour que ce soit gagnable. Premièrement, essaie d'utiliser ton E, sur son troisième A, tu éviteras ainsi les dégâts et le bump, c'est une des clefs de la victoire ! Ensuite, saute sur la moindre occasion où riven utilise mal ses sorts pour la punir. 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. Astuce : Tabi ninja et Bramble vest font un excellent combo contre Riven et faciliteront ta lane.”

WayOfTheTempesst says “This matchup throughout League history has always favored Riven and I feel like it favors her even more recently due to shield bash. The only time you really shit on 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. You can also get early tabi in this lane and farm till you get PD which will help you a lot with dueling her.”

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.”

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. ”

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. ”

VicGal96 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.”

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.”

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.”

Devitt45 says “This is a skill match up for sure. Things will be a lot tougher if she knows what she is doing. The only real way to beat her is just to play really smart and farm under tower until you get an Infinity Edge. Riven also has a lot of engage and disengage, so try to fight her when she doesn't have her Q up or her E up for a shield and a dash.”

Dr.G Killa says “A good main Riven can beat a Darius, be carefull to not waste your Q, she can CC chain you and do quick trades, very boring champion. Be smart, cancel her 3RD Q with your E while she Is middle air, always desengage when she ults, ghost Is a good SS against her.”

Prince Afghan says “A good Riven can be a nightmare. This is my usual ban in Ranked and it should be yours unless you feel comfortable with the matchup. 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.

If she tries to hit her 3rd Q remember that your ult can interrupt it, that's the best time to all in her.”

Qubert64 says “She has 4 ways to interupt your dash and 1 way to dodge it. Point blank or in between q spams. Rotate around her a lot and save dash when she ults so you can dodge her sweep. Generally pretty telegraphed. Especially in low elo.”

kubsak26 says “Not impossible but hard matchup. Again you need interrupt her q with yours. 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.”

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. ”

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”

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.”

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.”

Bot_Fabl says “Her shield can absord much of your damage. Play safe and don`t get tilted when you lose the early game. In the late game you gonna win against her.”

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.”

Demon Birb of Zaun by Trixelkour | Swain Player

Swagus says “Not even a problem, but be careful with pro Rivens. But you can easily outrade her combo with yours in a matter of seconds and you can knock up her up before she slam you down with her final q.”

heyitsRainex says “She can snowball once you give her a kill. Best that you start with 1 cloth armor and 4 pots to hold your lane. Build tanky and eventually she won't be able to burst you down.”

Sunken88 says “She can't do much just clear minions and trade or proxy.”

go6unatora says “Just stun her and hit her with R and run away. She cant keep up with your movement speed from your E and passive.”

SirDeRp25 says “Blind her when she comes in for 'Fast Combo', this denies her the damage between each auto attack. After 6 she beats you and there isn't too much counterplay. ”

Autoswitched says “Skill based matchup but a skilled Yasuo will have the edge, max q to maximise dps.”

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”

Thedoctor25 says “Não é difícil de lidar. Use seu fling (E) quando ela for dar o 3Q e use o W no chão para impedir dela usar o shield.”

Beartrand says “Riven is as powerful champion if played correctly. But, in my experience laning against her, I almost always won every time. If ever she tries to all in you with her combo, you will most likely win the trade if you get to bite her. When she enters with Q, shut her down with your E. ”

TehGuides says “Start dorans shield.She plays pretty aggresive with her ability's.So when they are on CD spin to win”

Zachlikespizza says “A good riven is extremely annoying to fight against. She will continue to avoid all of your q's until she goes in for the kill. Facing against a riven is like a game of chess. Think about how she alone plays and play around this.”

Mouadyam says “you can cancel her 3rd Q with your E, avoid short trades, use ghost to stick to her so she doesnt run away, careful for her burst, early armor is helpful.”

macspam says “Just keep in mind she has a lot of range with her dashes, but you can still cage her. ”

Demon Lord AC0 says “Skill matchup. You can rush PD with Tabi. She most likely will rush Death's Dance. Her ult can be Windwalled, but it's hard to time it, plus she can cancel the animation, so be careful”

Skullsunderer says “She is easy to kill but the Knock up and Stun stop you from applying stacks and killing her. She has a lot of raw AD, buy armor. Apprehend her after she uses either her dash or jump to stop her from getting away.”

TheSuporter says “You are a tank that can stop dashes, thus you can stop her from using her combo, making her useless. Make sure to harass her as much as you can, make sure she gets behind and she will be useless. Watch out for ganks though because if she gets ahead she can kill you no problem.”

TheSuporter says “Similar to yasuo but the stun can be a problem if you get ganked, otherwise you destroy her.”

joelblack says “Riven is only dangerous to your Mini Form. Keeping your distance is important and always be ready to hop away. Other than that, she's super squishy and whether you go Titan or Marksman, you will kill her. If she's just amazingly good, just farm and make sure he doesn't get kills or roam. 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. She has slightly shorter cooldowns than aatrox early, but way less damage on her combo unless she autoattacks. She gets harder to deal with as she gets more cdr and levels, though you should never let her run you down without a fight.”

[8.23] Aatrox lane matchup guide by Ashnard | Aatrox Player

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.”

Dacnomaniak says “Your W can block each of her Q dashes, although its recommended to block the third because that has the CC. It also prevent her from escaping many situations. Poke her with you Q and all in if you can get a stun off.”

The One True Hero (S8 Poppy) by Dacnomaniak | Poppy Player

CamilleN1 says “This matchup is all about who is the better player. She will E your W poke almost everytime or engage with it the moment you use it. When she uses her 3rd Q try to E her before it lands and she will miss the damage and open herself up to your combo”

CamilleN1's Poke Camille Top by CamilleN1 | Camille Player

galvapheonix 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.”

thedunkening111 says “Oh fucking hell, burn it with fire. She can win the lane off one good trade, but so can you. If she starts bunny hopping towards you for whatever reason, press q an walk away. If she bunny hops for no reason whatsoever, all in her immediately. Take Aftershock.”

Cyti says “Very easy to harass since she has a short ranged dash which you can force her to waste by poking. Unless she gets the jump on you, you shouldn't die. Would definitely take Stopwatch+Minion Dematerializer as she can dive. ”
