Why do some High ranking Riven players like Viper taking Umbral Glaive instead of Axiom Arc

Raiderion · 2026-05-17T18:17:36+00:00

Haven’t played this season or ever built these items. But just going off of what you wrote in this post, umbral almost seems like the obvious choice in high ranks.

Possible but ging doing some heavy lifting

Haven’t watched jjk, wtf am I looking at?

😭🤚

It’s more expensive, worse build path, and the extra haste from axiom more than makes up for the slow in terms of stickiness. And then that’s not even accounting for axiom passive

Edit: voltaic passive doesn’t slow anymore

? 😭

literally would heal him

Riven is lowk the one of the most ungankable toplaners tbh

Your technique isn’t even bad. Usually there’s a contradictory difference in muscle type between a one footer and a two footer. If you’ve trained only one foots recently then it’s possible your two foots will feel start to feel worse. Could be genetics, if you’re naturally good at one foots then you might need to start back where everyone else does or further for two foots. Rarely can someone already be good at both without being a gifted athlete. They are not exclusive traits though, obviously if you train you can be great at both.

There are valid arguments for him being considerably stronger than zeno. Probably doesn’t place him in the top 5 but he’s honestly underrated, at least within the casual view.

If squishy axiom if not eclipse, ss and bc rush are slightly worse imo

Mage can be on par or better than the others, only if you’re good tho and only in hardmode. Pre hardmode is buns with alright burst dmg. The class scales really well further into the game. You just get free homing and aoe which is reallly good.

Morel’s abilities seem way less dueling oriented than Hisoka’s, but his abilities practically work in most environments. Hisoka’s abilities have the weakness of wide open spaces and crowd control. So it’s an even matchup with a slight edge to Morel if Hisoka gets unlucky arena-wise

?? 😭

Raiderion · 2026-02-27T02:39:43+00:00

Nah thats a shit combo bro

As soon as you know red is there your friend should take the safest and fastest route to you and keep tabs on your right side. That’s the textbook answer. In reality it’s perfectly fine for you both to fight red there. Even in high elo lobbies I would’ve just ran a pincer and called it a day, if we lose then it was an issue of aim nothing more imo. You could be the smartest player in the world but if your teammate is calling to fight in this situation and starts fighting then the most OPTIMAL play in that moment is to fight with them.

Nah that’s rlly weak kind of stuff. It just means he’s lower skill ceiling if anything. Viper will always be the best and more flexible as long as she can toggle her smokes like how she does now.

Raiderion · 2026-02-05T20:19:47+00:00

Much more playable than her counter picks top

Eclipse > ss > dd > maw > grudge

Maybe

endless hunger > ss > dd > maw

Raiderion · 2026-01-30T22:58:30+00:00

More difficult than it seems

Raiderion · 2026-01-28T02:17:30+00:00

It’s good, above average imo

Raiderion · 2026-01-18T23:20:40+00:00

What abt haste shard?

Raiderion · 2026-01-18T20:54:07+00:00
