Riven Counters :: Counter Picking Stats for Riven by CounterStats

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.”

PH45 says “Abuse her cooldowns. She can burst you quite quickly. I like to run Phase Rush into this matchup as you can either keep chasing her or run away from her after a trade much easier. At level 6 if you are low be careful as she can quickly catch up to you and just ult you to death. Very slippery so hard to kill early. If she misses her stun then try to fight her as she can't create distance as easily then.”

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.”

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. ”

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. ”

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. ”

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. ”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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. ”

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.

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. ”

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. ”

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.”

Season 11 Updated - AD Thresh (All Roles, Primarily Top) by by CFCryo | Thresh Player

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.”

Warwick de Crocs says “Pressionar o Ataque - Lâmina de Doran. Abusa do Press, usa o Q pra cancelar o knockup do Q3 dela, cuidado com Conq stackado. Quando chegarem o lvl 6, tenta ativar o E somente quando ela apertar R.”

Boptimus says “If you walk up to the wave level 1 and good Riven will just chunk your entire health bar or just flat out kill you. Let her push. Stay healthy. Cs as much as you can. If they mess up you might have a window or two to get a kill.”

RTO says “Bad players I would have as a 2 because without proper combos will get wrecked. D2 and higher elo Riven players will combo correctly and be a tough matchup.”

LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Riven is a skill matchup. 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. Poke her occasionally but focus on denying her all in (either on you or your carries). Either grasp or aftershock works but aftershock will be mandatory if she runs ignite.”

BunnyFuFuu's Challenger Guide to Thresh [11.11] by LiL Bunnie FuFuu | Thresh Player

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.”

TXK_ says “F*ck Riven players. Kidding... Look for a 'poke and peel' combination with trades using Q and E. Without CDR, RIven's mobility has big gaps so look to fight after her third Q or E.”

DippyDan says “Very fun matchup. Has 4 dashes in total, so it will be almost impossible to land your stun. A lot stronger in teamfights and hard to chase. TIPS: [1] Get Conquerer with boneplating as secondary. [2] You win level 1 if you hit vitals. [3] DO NOT WASTE PARRY (If you fail a parry he will All-in and kill you). ”

Vandenelis says “Watch out for her level 1 trades, since she can kill you in one chace to the tower. you win trades if you can hit her with your e without soaking too much damage in lower elo when a riven starts spamming jumps on you press q to cancel her knock-up, after that, you can damage her with your e, and silencing her with w so she cant stun you, generally try not to die till level 6, after that, you can kill her if you have a lead on her post level 6 you can generally just run her down for a kill”

66% winrate tank chogath to platinum (dedicated matchup sec by Vandenelis | Diamond Cho'Gath Player

The Rock Titan says “"[Grasp W > E or Q] - Bone Plating is good, Start E level 1 so she can't auto you down - Get E lvl2 and you're just winning - 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"”

YasTilt says “Skill-Based Matchup, It's better if you Freeze your Lane and wait for a Gank. Her Passive is Broken, So take short Trades before LVL 3. Take Anti-Heal Early-Game so she can't heal off of her Items. Most importantly, Block her R with your W.”

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.”

SpartanDumpster says “Another match up that can go either way. Her gap closers threaten you and her E can negate your passive. Play safe and remember that you're a ranged champ, hang back and use the fact that you can hit her from farther than she can hit you to your advantage.”

Fryx says “Riven is super annoying. She can block all of your Q damage and her Trade Power is too much for Malphite to handle so play it super safe and buy "as always" Bramble Vest. Try to bait out her shield by using S and trading with W and E on lane. She doesn't have too much base HP so this can be very effective if you can make the poke stick on her. If she has Ult don't be ashamed to ult to safety. If you die on lane once against Riven you will probably cost your team the game.”

XtheZ115 says “The perfect matchup. Riven players tend to be very easy to tilt, and that is something a good Singed player can abuse. Spam your laugh, make her mad, and she will chase. Be sure to be nice in the all chat when she kills you. Be even nicer when you kill her. All jokes aside, Riven has to be very aggressive to be effective, and being aggressive with a Singed is exactly what he wants. Unless they are a very skilled Riven, you should have a pretty easy time.”

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.”

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”

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.”

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.”

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

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.”

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.”

Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Riven is an easy opponent, but she is a little tough at levels 1-2. however, for the rest of the game she isn't too tough. Be careful though, if you play stupid and get ganked and killed a few times, Riven can really snowball and wreck you.”

TangoVallhala says “You are similar characters, she is just in better spot than Aatrox. Try bullying her pre 6 with pokes, full combos, but dont take long trades she has a better Q cooldown, and because the way her passive works she will do more damage close range. At 6 she easily kill if she combos you, so try to jump the gun on her first.”

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.”

A Very Odd Guide to Amumu Top? by Fluddah | Diamond Amumu 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.”

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.”

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. ”

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 !

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. Play it smart and you can still win the lane though and even some trades once you have ult. RIven players DO get tilted out of their minds and its not just a meme, so if you win 1 fight enjoy yourself as she keeps throwing herself onto you and giving you more gold then ragequits after saying something about how your champion is stupid.”

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. ”

Pedrokis says “Se o cara for MUITO BOM você apanha, mas de resto é só jogar com a cabeça. / Não deixa ela grudar muito em você, guarda o terceiro Q pra quando ela for pra cima e você não tiver tão grande. / Já que o seu W tem muito cooldown, não compensa você tentar iniciar muito doido com ele caso ela ainda tenha Q e E. - Isso vai fazer com que você gaste o W atoa, que tem aproximadamente uns 22s de cooldown, e deixe difícil de você ganhar uma troca longa. / Se você bater pra caramba nos minions das primeiras waves e tiver de ignite, você pode bater bastante nela no early, dar ignite e forçar flash, TP, ou pegar um first blood e sair na vantagem de gold. - Só tome cuidado pra não ficar muito low life, visto que ela pode simplesmente dar TP e recuperar a vantagem. / Quando vocês 2 tiverem ult up, é bom que você esteja perto ou já tenha seu Caulfield e Cetro Vampírico (forçando kill pra cima dela antes do 6).”

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.”

BearRider says “Shen is one from of best counters for Riven. Just like Volibear and Orn. Your 1st item should be Tiamat so you can farm and then Omens and Ninja Tabis. 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. ”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.”

kkiskk says “DON'T start with cloth armor. Your damage is higher than her in any level unless you die to her often. Try to poke her with you Q in lv 1 while she last hit minions. You must have a point in W at lv 2 so she won't stand a chance in dueling you. If she gets lv 6 first, be sure to back off since her damage is suddenly boosted if she use her R.

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.”
