Riven is a very highly mechanical champion so this match up should most often be easy. Sadly a very good Riven will not fall for any tricks and will play know her weakness and opportunities.
- Press The Attack, Conqueror and Grasp of the Undying all of this runes are great for fighting Riven. They help you win a sustained fight and especially Conqueror matches Camille well enough to be considered the best rune for this match up.
- Aftershock May be good if you want to play in a safe way and add some engage power to your team's composition.
- Electrocute I liked this rune in this match up thanks to it's burst potential denying Riven her escape abilities and lowering her outplay potential. It's probably still worse than Conqueror but worth a try.
ALSO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER RUNES ARE OFTEN A PREFERENCE CHOICE BECAUSE ALL OF THEM OFFER DIFFERENT PLAYSTYLES SO DIFFERENT RUNES MAY SUIT DIFFERENT PLAYERS BETTER
Some things to look out for:
This is a skill and knowledge match up. You need to know how long her cooldowns are (pretty short) and when is your best time to go onto her. Try to punish her for using spells on minions and bait out her shield with your W.
Riven can easily get a lead from roaming around the map and making good tp plays. Try to warn your team about her plans or counter her actions throughout the game.
First you need to look at your options: note I'm not telling you to buy this items yet!
- Tabi Ninja
- Tiamat
- Phage
- Sheen
So about Tabi Ninja, This is a great buy if you're falling behind in lane and Riven clearly outplays you mechanicly. You will need this to stop her from being able to 100-0 you after level 6.
Tiamat Not a fan of Tiamat because it destroys wave manipulation but matching Riven's push potential may help you in stopping her from roaming around.
Sheen Great buy early since you want to keep the trades short. Definitely my favorite first buy.
Phage If you managed to collect all 1250 gold then you likely don't need it. If you already have Tabi Ninja and still lose trades then this will be your go to 2nd item.
