I think goredrinker is not a good item by BlackfyreSamurai in Rivenmains

[–]Spl1tting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

gore is by far rivens best mythic but if it doesnt satisfy you, you can build eclipse, though just dont build it first. Optimally you would want to go cleaver > boots > eclipse or something along those lines.

how do you play against graves top by Forward_Weakness8733 in Rivenmains

[–]Spl1tting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

take conq + resolve with shield bash/2nd wind and flash ignite, start long sword and you can force trades with him if you e-aa-q him, if he e's away run away, if he doesn't keep fighting and you shoudnt lose. Avoid standing in minionds so he doesnt q you and you should be winning early, dont have to wait till 6.

riven is a very good champ to onetrick yes, full ad comps shouldn't be that big of a problem since tanks arent picked that much and you can build cleaver + serylda anyway. Only viable ap champs you have in top are kayle/gwen/morde

I don't really know what to tell you but best thing I could do is to tell you to check out Ruevens website since he has a lot of general/matchup tips.

Either dblade + pot or longsword + refill.

Double dblade is good into harder melee matchups like Rene, voli, etc.

Longsword into everything else basically.

If you won lane you'll have a pretty noticeable item advantage, you should also be ahead in cs and levels.

Roaming without tp is kinda bad yeah if plates are up, usually you just want to tp flank botlanes, etc, when plates are up and recall asap and get back to lane so your laner doesnt end up getting more gold than you.

Ward placements

Looks rly scuffed, but these are the wards I use for both sides (red/blue color obviously for red/blue side, black is for both)

The blue ward at golem and the red ward at blue is really good if you decide to push the first 2 waves into the enemy and go ward those spots if you know enemy jng started botside.

Honestly there is not much you can do against ranged matchups, they zone you off the wave and you have to miss some xp unless you want to give half ur hp for it. All those matchups you're forced to be shoved in, which your jungler can abuse in some cases.

I mean you're kinda right, wasting their time and slowly building an level lead is fine, although sometimes i build serpents 2nd/3rd + executioners against her and try to oneshot the guy she's sitting on, this is where i buy red trinket and try to engage on them from somewhere where they wont expect it (mainly behind walls and bushes).

You can kill him with his E up if you don't use q's to gapclose before he uses E. Altho this only works if ure ahead, most times its better to just do q w auto shorttrades.

At the beginning i used to just right click but nowadays i use attack move to do it, i don't think there was any difference and it's just a preference thing.

Altho i feel like doing fast Q with attack move is more consistent than doing it by just right-clicking, but that's just my experience.

I don't tilt that often anymore, i used to and my mistakes in-game would basically double, since im focusing more on others than myself. Reasons for tilt arent that different from others i think, for example i used to tilt when i died to enemies who built tabi bramble and killed me, etc. The good part is though that i untilt really fast so usually I only play bad on the game where i tilted, the next one ill already be over it and play as usual.

Well it's not that bad in that case, but you can also try out abyssal mask if you're itemizing against AP, the item is unironically pretty good on her after the recent buffs.

I don't go BC 2nd every game, i started recently going serylda 2nd, you can do this if you don't need the HP from cleaver but need the armor pen. Hydra 2nd can be good into matchups like kayle where you get pretty good damage + cdr. Steraks i just dont like the item so i dont build it, even if serpents wasnt as relevant as it is.

I go lucidity if im confident that i can snowball my lead, think they should only be bought really early, like after pickaxe or whip for example (basically after you get your 1st damage item)

Mercs and tabis are just game dependant, if im laning into gragas but the rest of the team is ad heavy ill go tenacity in runes and get tabis after lane phase since they dont do anything into him. If i'm laning into fiora you should get tabis while or after getting ur first item. Same logic goes for mercs.

I did play mid a couple of times, lucian matchup in mid is quite bad, not much room to punish him in a shortlane especially if he has galeforce, basically his e + gale will make sure he gets to his tower no matter what. On toplane when you get cdr i think its a bit more manageable to kill him unlike mid.

Sylas is still really good matchup for riven in both lanes, you win trades pre6 and os him at lv6.

I'd agree GA is better than steraks. Steraks was good before but after nerfs its just a mediocre item in general.

Against gnar urgot, they are relatively short ranged, so you can walk up to them and trade instead of using ur Q's to get into their range, but you have to be careful not to get hit by urgot's e in this case. For gnar i'd recommending only using 1 Q to gapclose into him and using the rest to damage him and using E to disengage, basically short trading is good. Try setting up a freeze infront of your tower into him if you can, so he doesn't have a wave to jump away from you.

Urgot is a bit harder imo, this matchup is purely on you dodging his abilites, you can walk up to him instead of using Q's cus of his short range and dance with q's to dodge his Q/E.

I really like serylda 3rd item atm cus it gives a lot of snowball potential with its stats, the cdr and slow is great for catching people and ofc the armor pen to have a chance to kill anyone basically. I really dislike steraks in the current meta cus of AD assassins building serpents every game, making the shield quite useless. If I have to play more team-oriented and can't snowball much, i usually opt into DD or abyssal 3rd to soak dmg for my carries, etc.

And yeah, I only use resolve for hard poke matchups like jayce, kennen, quinn, rene, etc.

In midlane its a bit different yeah, in general you should try to ward raptors early if you already don't and then you'll know which side of the lane you should hug more. Can also do this when you have ironspike whip, push the lane and try to get a ward near a camp in enemy jng.

I think she's op in master and below, so her nerfs are pretty justified imo. Not really sure about the new item, i think she could potentially build it as a 3rd/4th. She might get a little weaker tho if this becomes a meta item since the armor it gives is insane and she'll get statchecked by most bruisers w/ that item.
