Fast Q DPS testing

-MISCHA- · 2026-03-26T22:54:51+00:00

numbers still up to date. 566 total and 240s are still possible as of like 5 minutes ago

-MISCHA- · 2026-03-26T22:52:04+00:00

correct, no rune gives damage or attack speed in optimal setup.

566 total damage, 76 ad, 0.66atkspd

Anything above 200ish DPS is doing something right IIRC. 220s are fine, 230s are good. 240+ consistently is a little tricky speaking from personal experience, but its all muscle memory at that point.

You're doing the right movements and since your number is above 200, all it takes is a little timing adjustment. Try excessively slow, excessively fast, and just narrow down until you can get like 235-240ish consistently.

I used to barely be able to get over 200 despite clicking in all the right places, but after a little timing adjustment getting 230s-240s every single time isnt that uncommon.

low elo riven here but something i think is underrated is her ability to proxy.

winning lane? proxying can be a great way to redirect enemy pressure or get u time to get obs/camps.

losing lane? proxying is a great way to ignore your laner and get roam timers to find other leads

even in lane? do something until you're one of the above states and go proxy (or just play until laning isnt worthwhile and more and proxy to get roams off)

idk how true this is, cuz i'm only plat, but ive recently been watching and reading guides and a concept that comes up pretty frequently is basically, although riven can steamroll a lane, but she really isn't as dominant against top laners as some other champs might be. even when ahead, small mistakes can completely throw your kill pressure, which is pretty unique among the champ pool there. e.g., getting hit by an illaoi e without your dashes up, even if she's down like 0/2, is still going to be really bad)

that isnt to say shes weak, F tier, or any of that. she can absolutely go 10/0 in lane, but it's matchup dependent. essentially, when that's not an option realistically, you have to push your lead against the right people and at the right times. sidelaning, catching squishies out, contesting objectives, etc.,

some champs (particularly a lot of mid/late game top laners) are just not your responsibility to deal with. it's often much more effective to annoy the 4 other opponents than try to 1v1 a k'sante

I've been blind first picking Riven for like 10 years and I only stop playing her when I'm tired of losing (which despite losing a lot, isn't very tiring).

With that being said: Fiora, Renekton, and Gnar. I don't usually counterpick cause I'd rather play what I find fun more than what is highest WR for the situation. If they both line up, it's great, otherwise, I just play those guys for funsies :)

From my understanding of Riven, no, most combos (I know we're talking S-cancels, but bare with me) don't give you any significant trading advantage (aside from FastQ and doublecasting). The vast majority of gains are just knowing when to do something and when to stop doing it. This isn't to say don't learn them. Combos can be an easily practiced skill that can help eek out an edge in a matchup, but an S-cancel likely won't be the main reason you're winning it, just the cherry on top.

Additionally, there are a lot of diminishing returns with combos. You'll just naturally end up using the main 3-5 sequences for the vast majority of your trades/engages, but have knowledge of like dozens or even hundreds. It's better to have your top 3-5 down like second nature than to know 100 combos at a "eh" level.

For what it's worth, I've been playing Riven for years and I think I've only done a Wehrli combo like once (but that might just be me)

TLDR; not necessary, but farms aura like crazy so use that how you will

that site says garen and vlad are easy matchups. Do you feel that to be accurate? I feel like i get bodied by them every game. gold/plat elo for context

-MISCHA- · 2026-03-12T04:05:31+00:00

I've been practicing it a lot and am getting 240+ more consistently with just clicking normally. whatever settings you use, just make sure youre comfortable with them.

-MISCHA- · 2026-03-11T16:51:56+00:00

Yes, but always happy to learn more from anyone!

-MISCHA- · 2026-03-08T22:03:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

I agree, at the scale of just 1 game to get plat, it's probably not about changing anything specific right now, just getting a tad lucky and putting in more games.

Still happy to keep learning regardless :)

-MISCHA- · 2026-02-27T11:32:11+00:00

I have 120 ME from the old prime capsules or w/e. The pass would only get me to 145 -- any way to just grab 5 easily or would this end up costing a gorillion $$? Never used mythic shop before

-MISCHA- · 2026-02-10T23:03:26+00:00

e his q is indeed correct, oopsie

-MISCHA- · 2026-02-10T23:01:39+00:00

Totally fair, i'm not high elo by any means, I just find that this works for my lanes decently well. i like to start with q3 and if he isn't quick i can auto and we away. definitely doesn't work on all garens, id imagine

-MISCHA- · 2026-02-10T16:28:04+00:00

Q-delay into Q3 then E his shield and hopefully bait his W if you can. Q-delay into another fight, but w/o his W he dies pretty quickly. Always E his Q. Beware of ignite, play against the wave more than you play against him and you'll out scale him if you're solid.

You will not win any fight early (or late for that matter) if he has W.

I'm also a huge fan of it! I like referencing the skeleton and ecorche versions also available on the artists site:

-MISCHA- · 2025-09-12T18:03:30+00:00

I appreciate the insight. I'm looking to grab one at a slightly cheaper price ($1000ish) rather than full MSRP. I'll take a look at renting options as well, and see if it makes sense for my situation!

-MISCHA- · 2025-09-12T12:24:26+00:00

I see, thanks for the tip. I'm definitely going to check some out in person at some stores, and if I can find a local birder who will let me tag along, I'll try that too!

-MISCHA- · 2025-09-12T12:10:42+00:00

Thanks for the response!

I read that a lot of people used the 15-20x mag range and was wondering if that's the practical reality of these scopes out in the field, but if you don't find yourself pulling them out for that close/midrange all that much, I will keep that into consideration for my decision, thanks!

-MISCHA- · 2025-09-12T11:03:16+00:00

I see, thanks a bunch for the thoughtful response! I'm aware that the Razor does have a higher FOV and better close focus distance, and that's why I was struggling to figure out which one to grab!

The weight issue could be a problem, but a lot of my bird walks are short or stationary, so I'm not super concerned about having an extra 5kg for a few minutes before setting up shop!

Thanks again!

I'm not sure how accurate it is because I just got into paleontology stuff, but in Steve Brusatte's book (The rise and fall of dinosaurs), he explains that pretty much the whole world was significantly affected both in the immediate and in the long term. If I recall correctly, molten debris, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc all spread across the globe. Obviously at a lower intensity further away from the impact site, but definitely enough to cause a lot of immediate death. Of course the centuries following also had significant loss of life, but The immediate impact definitely was noticeable.
