ive always found riven a very fun champ to see in action but never gave her a try, i got my ass kicked by a jax and now im curious to see a guide on how to play her, what to itemize and how to deal with matchups

only video I've seen is from retrad and its like 5 years old (bro still talking about goredrinker and mythics) so im sure a lot has changed since then

also what streamers to watch that otp her (if there even is such a thing nowadays)

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

I’m a new Riven player 31k mastery points. I recently bought Dawnbringer and I love it, but because Riven is the only champ that I have consistently come back to, plus losing track of how many Riven games I play (despite losing a lot of them) I know I’ll probably end up a Riven one trick. Are there any skins that make you guys actually enjoy Riven more? I got Dawnbringer because it makes Riven feel smoother but I know that once I play like hundreds of games with the same skin it gets dull. Also, since I’m learning Riven, is top lane better to learn her or is mid lane better? I used to main jungle so laning is a newer concept to me but I know how to manage waves, recall timings, gank timers.

Hello all so starting today I’ll start my new journey in exploring riven. She’s a super interesting character I’ve read her lore and wanna give her a solid go. I’ve only really experienced Renekton and some K’Sante and ready to put the time into learning her.

What do I need to know? Any advice would be helpful. My main thing I’m looking for is any steamers who play her at a high level and give solid advice. Came across Coach Chippys videos so I’m starting there. Thanks in advance!

Apparently riven is really strong in riftbound, I’ve never played but I’m gonna drop like 60$ on packs just to get her and try to make a deck with her. Riven main humiliation rituals never end I’m so scared her cards are gonna be expensive someone comfort me pls

This is coming from a jungle Evelynn otp I was looking for a safe pick when I get filled top and I tried riven and she feels so bad. Like how are you supposed to trade with her she can't even outrun a renekton

Crossposting from main thread awesome canvas my wife drew. Give a like for her :)

is it or not?

why dont we build spear of shojin for a lot seasons?

Edit: a lot of people didn't realize this got fixed a few months ago, I tried searching online for any discourse on this and couldn't find anything. Could be useful in opening up the first item slot away from axiom arc if you are ok sacrificing joat

Edit: was fixed on the Aug 10, 2026 patch https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/Axiom_Arcanist

everytime i pick this i just feel like this is challenger victorious riven,it looks so good

With the current state of riven and reading people talking about giving her armor pen I’ve been thinking about how should they do it and how would it work

An idea it’s giving her evolutions on hers sword that gives her armor pen as the game keeps runing like kayle but decrease some of her base damages

If people actually wants her to be a lane bully that decades on late game, they should give her an armor pen during the R time but also get some self true damage during that time

Edit: also think they should relate her to Ornn if they want to do a mini rework and keep the lore

an old video but still working

still have to finish the corset :0

1st play: I knew that sion was going to q charge in the bush, though the flash might still be a bit overkill.
2nd play: The flash on draven I'm not sure,I think I could've waited for my E to do it more cleanly with a doublecast.
D3 mmr

hi friends I havent played in a long, long time and just came back a week ago. I've seen some video of Riven 1v1ing an enemy top laner and lost despite having 2 levels ahead, I read the comments and they blamed the player for "facetanking" everything.

So my question is, do you guys got any advice for playing Riven this season (micro & dueling skills I should keep in mind? Especially the facetanking.) How should I be approaching this?

im a jungle main and i wanted to know if shes viable in jungle because after one game it looked really bad and her attack speed is really low

got it from a chest

I'm a Diamond player and me and a friend started a fresh-account challenge. The rule is that we can only play mechanically difficult champs, and whoever climbs higher wins. I got top lane and decided to OTP Riven because I've always liked her playstyle.

I'm not completely new to the game, so I'm not really looking for beginner advice or combo guides. I already know the basic combos and understand that mechanics are important on Riven.

What I'm more interested in is the learning progression of a Riven OTP. If you were starting over today, what would you focus on improving first, second, third, etc.?

For example:

• Matchup knowledge?
• Trading patterns?

In your opinion, what separates a Gold/Plat Riven from a Diamond Riven, and then a Diamond Riven from a Master+ Riven?

Basically, if the goal is to climb as fast as possible while OTPing Riven, what skills give the biggest returns besides just learning combos?

I remember boxbox used to max E for fun in some match ups, is that still ,possible nowadays? If yes, then what matchup could be played that way? Especially interested in midlande matchups
