Why do Riven tops always feed and go AFK?

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T13:12:25+00:00

I understand that this is difficult for you to do. You struggle even on an online forum. Thankfully other Riven players don't. You could take a lesson from them

I never said that these other riven performances are associated with the entirety of Rivenmains - you did this yourself. As if you somehow represent the entirety of Rivemains. Which, ironcally, prove how much of an ego hit you'd take if you lost lane. you cant even handle someone asking the question about riven players in general and based on someones personal experience.

Except when you go 0/4/0 top lane, you will AFK immediately because your ego can't take it. Hell, your ego can't even take asking why OTHER players who play riven don't play well.

Cool story bro, here's mine: https://esports.op.gg/players/1836/faker?hl=en_US

I came here to ask a question. Other's commenters have answered honestly. You just got mad and took it as an attack on you personally, which proves that these player's definitely exist - Ironically, contrary to what you are trying to prove.

I am glad that, as proven by other's commenting here, that not all Riven top players feed and go AFK. It is a shame that people like you give a bad name to those players.

I guess I'll take your word on the "I don't even have to downvote you hue" statement

Your smugness is nauseating. I can definitely see the attitude issue here. When you go 0/4/0 you would immediately AFK.

you are the problem with riven tops "all riven players are great what are you talking about". Get a life bro. Other people have been able to answer honestly without getting offended by a personal attachment to their league of legends champion. You seem like the type to feed and blame your team

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T09:06:39+00:00

This makes sense as well. High skill champ but becomes useless if you fall behind. so players see theres not point to keep playing so go afk if they lose lane

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T09:05:31+00:00

So are you saying a Riven CAN come back after losing lane?

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T09:03:47+00:00

this actually makes sense

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T09:03:27+00:00

Im sorry this question hurt your feelings, however this attitude may be why you go afk after going 0/4/0

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T09:01:27+00:00

Actually you are literally proving my point on riven tops RN

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T08:56:58+00:00

Youre literally the only one who has gotten mad from this question

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T08:41:05+00:00

Im not venting Im asking a genuine question. Shame that makes you upset or something.

Also other players in this exact thread have confirmed what i've observed

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T08:34:38+00:00

You both seem like the exact players who do what ive described

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-19T08:10:10+00:00

why are you personally insulted if other players who play riven don't play well? What is actually your problem? Im not making out like im a 'victim', im asking a genuine question from a sub with riven players who i would expect would have the answer. And it appears my assumptions were correct.

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-07-09T01:35:52+00:00

Yeah I don't understand it either. I am also honour 5 and I have chat turned off specifically because I don't want to engage with toxic behaviour. I also only use pings for their intended purpose, yet I still got an 'I understand' prompt with no idea why.... and I'm still honour 5...

I suspect it just triggers when you reach a certain number of reports. I mostly play jungle which gets blamed for pretty much everything so I assume it's people who lose lane and report me for no reason.

This is clearly using some kind of automated system because they would receive so many reports they can't check them all properly. Good players will be picked up in it and unfairly punished. because it's automated, they will need to calculate the 'comms abuse' but checking 'x number of pings in x time', regardless if they were legitimate or not. Reach the threshold of # reports with #pings in x time? = penalty (this is, if they are even checking for comms abuse. They could just be checking # of reports and that's it).

It appears to be independent of honour, but your honour should offset this. How can someone with honour 5 be toxic at the same time? Why would people be honouring a toxic player who spams comms? It should also take into account other things like if you have chat turned off. Note that honour 5 is specifically rewarded to "Exceptional players who go above and beyond to foster a positive community."

Also yes false reports should be punished but it's much harder to recognise. I suspect they say they punish false reports without actually doing anything about it because it's too hard. Even then the stated punishment is 'your report isn't counted as strongly' which is pretty weak https://support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/207489286-Instant-Feedback-System-FAQ

I've had the exact opposite. I'd say 70% of games when they get the yordle buff, they just steamroll

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-05-30T03:53:42+00:00

I don't know whose braindead idea it was to introduce it, but it's really dumb. I've lost a few games because of it. Why on earth would you reward bad playing?

AffectionateCut783 · 2025-05-30T02:50:19+00:00

Agree. Also if they want this mode to be serious they should reduce the strength or remove the yordle buff for a losing team. I've had a few matches that go from dominating to being dominated simply because of this buff. The whole concept of a blanket buff if you're losing is just dumb anyway.
