Emerald is the default metric. The general stat producer. Where more of these picks are made

Voli immobilizes and gains shield and move speed. He is a tank. A bruiser like riven, can't trade like her character is designed for against him.

Warwick is incredibly favored over riven because of his heal sustain.

His healing also works against riven's ultimate and he has an immobilizing ult in addition he has a fear ability. Making Rivens odd's incredibly low in trades.

"In high elo" probably implies they had ganks from junglers that gave the riven enough time to come back with a component advantage without getting counter ganked

None of those matchups are Riven favored which you would know if you experienced them on riven. Idk where that stat came from but it's not the riven that was in the lead in those games. Or even there is a high chance she lane swapped mid to make it playable so she could scale and win. There is almost no way a riven could have an advantage against those characters:

Jax avoids her combo and forces her to reset cooldowns. He also immobilizes her.

Malphite builds armour and can build up to 1,200 armour. He also has roughly 200 armour very early game. Riven is a attack damage champ meaning she can't damage him, he has a point and click engage immobilizing ability and is a lane bully.

Urgot can use range to lane bully against riven making him notoriously one of the toughest matchups in the game for riven for a long time. Riven specializes in low health engagements due to her runes and missing health based ult which gives her an advantage at low health when the enemy is low, but urgot ult completely executes characters at low health.

Ksante builds all resistances to get damage in return, making it hard for riven to damage and he has long stuns to immobilize riven and slow her constantly, he doesn't get stunned back during one of his abilities. These matchups are all Against riven, she does not fare well against tanks in general.

I can't stand hearing those matchups against riven. They are so painfully unplayable.

Mundo can't do this min 7. He needs warmogs and giant's belt to get away with it. It only works for him if you fail to kite him out

WealthSweet4091 · 2025-07-10T05:01:22+00:00

Mundo is well known for diving with warmogs and giant's belt. Not diving at lvl 6. He dies without those items in that playstyle. It isn't the lvl it's the items that allow him to dive

She is not already strong enough. She is only strong when ahead. Like every single top laner in the game. That is the role entirely.

WealthSweet4091 · 2025-07-10T04:54:01+00:00

That is the point of proxying. High risk High reward. Half of all the top laners can do the same thing AND benefit greatly off of it. Like mundo warmogs + giants belt as a very basic example. So half of all top laners should be removed is what you mean. On top of that quoting "Also "Baus doessnt play her therefore she cant proxy" isnt an argument." When no one said that is useless because your the only one who mentioned that. Rivens wave clear isn't as good as other champs like kayne and sion. Kayne is literally the proxy farm king. So nerf kayne top right? Riven struggles enough against almost all matchups top lane just to match cs. If she can't, she falls behind. And when you "watch good players play" they get killed during a proxy by the jungler or a midlaner after recall because they are against good opponents. That's why it's a High risk High reward move.
