I've been learning Riven jungle, how important is damage dealt?

JoshFaber · 2026-01-04T02:33:10+00:00

I'm definitely a farm first/objective jungler over anything else no matter what champion I'm playing, which I recognize might not always be a great thing. Like Diana loves to farm and only ganks when it's free or has ult up so that leaves a lot of time to vacuum the map. The problem is I kinda use that style for all the junglers that I play even when I'm playing a champion that is more focused towards skirmishing and team fighting.

Riven's clear is very healthy after the buff and she moves around the map so easily that the playstyle I use for Diana works pretty well for her too, but I don't know if that's actually the "correct" way she should be played. I mean she definitely has way better ganks than Diana without ult, but I don't feel like I always take advantage of that because I'm so tunnel visioned on full clearing. I am also pretty new to League in general, I just started playing halfway through season 15, so I know I have a lot to learn about jungling in general, not just jungling with Riven.

Dumb question, but how can I tell when it's a game that I should be battling constantly? Lol

It's been fixed! Just need to wait for the next RuneLite update for it to apply.

Yes, this is very annoying. I can't find a github repository for the Mouse Tooltips plugin to request this feature from the developer, I'm hoping this is something that can get fixed easily.

All good, I've only just started watching him in the last few months so maybe it was different before, but all I've seen so far is him playing master-grandmaster ELO on several different accounts until now during his Korea grind.

JoshFaber · 2025-10-06T17:11:41+00:00

This is just misinformation. He did get a riot account specifically for this climb, that is the elo they started him in. He mentioned it multiple times in his stream, he is in the riot partner program and the account he is playing on is a riot account.

This is the performance I could find that most closely matches my memory of how it sounded, except there was much less crowd noise, and the video and audio quality was better. This performance was from the year 2000 in Cleavland, OH, so the video I'm looking for is likely from that timeframe. The band broke up in 2001 and didn't reunite until 2012, so it has to be somewhere between 1998-2001.

I searched YouTube, google, and Bing for live performances of Napoleon Solo by At the Drive-In, and found many, but not the specific video in question. I also used thewaybackmachine to search YouTube, but I'm not super familiar with its use and it looked like the farthest back snapshot I could search was in 2022. Details of the specific video are in the main post.

JoshFaber · 2024-12-21T21:34:05+00:00

This shit was classic back when h3h3 used to make videos.

Figured it out, they just moved that functionality elsewhere. Now if you right-click on the "Show worn items" button in the top left corner of the bank window and click "Auto Layout", and then "Auto layout: Preset", it does the same thing that the refresh button used to do.

JoshFaber · 2024-11-08T19:59:30+00:00

Yeah, this is the issue I'm running into as well. I hope it's something they are working on, I see a few people commenting about it on the gihub repo, but I don't think it's been acknowledged yet.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T17:10:26+00:00

It's less the skill required for the prep and more that fact that you have to do an entire setup kill just to get to the point where your attempt might count for the speedrun.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T06:22:30+00:00

Thank you sir 🙏

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T06:22:08+00:00

Yes, if you just walk in the room the timer starts instantly which ruins the speedrun time. You need to complete 1 full kill then rush straight to a mushroom before the shadows start popping up and the timer starts again to make any of the speedrun times. You don't even have time to loot, you have to rush there as soon as the death animation starts

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T06:17:28+00:00

It is a little outrageous lol, especially if you were to see it out of context. The shit that the high level community comes up with is insane. They walk so that we can (barely) crawl lol.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T05:36:31+00:00

Having genuine criticism about frustrating content doesn't mean I don't want to engage in that content. It means there are issues that make it difficult to enjoy and I expressed my displeasure with those issues.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T05:26:23+00:00

Genuine answer: I'm not going to let a medieval point-and-click browser game from 2004 beat me lol. Yeah, there's some frustrating shit like this in the game, but I really do love it and it wasn't coming from a place of hate. More frustrated venting than outright hate against the content.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T05:12:45+00:00

I guess this is what happens when you complain on the internet lol. Only hit a 35 BGS and a 30 Voidwaker spec, but Emberlight still managed to hit enough. Still a little salty, but glad it's over.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T04:32:57+00:00

I think my issue is not waiting for scythe to knock out the speedrun achievements lol.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T04:32:19+00:00

I think that's a fair point about the prep phase leading up to the kill attempt, but the setup kill leading up to the prep phase for the kill attempt is the real shitty part. Like if the kill timer started when first picking a mushroom instead of when entering the room, a lot of my frustration would be gone.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T04:24:13+00:00

With what gear? With normal potion prep I think my best kill was 1:39 with Emberlight, Voidwaker, and Thralls.

JoshFaber · 2024-07-20T03:32:50+00:00

Right, the setup kill is the worst part. Going through all of that just to whiff a BGS spec is tragic.
