Preface Back to Top
I know lethality got nerfed but that doesnt stop this build from having the most damage out of all the other Riven builds without sacrificing CDR & lifesteal in the process. Riven's potential is determined by the creativity of the player using her. Using Riven with the regular builds is nice because it gives her more survivability and you can play her like a bruiser and take some more damage for your team. This build on the other hand requires you to think outside of the box in terms of teamfighting and playstyle in general. This build also requires that you understand the more discreet Riven mechanics instead of just knowing her com.bos. It brings back Rivens edge to make quick plays and punish your opponents tremendously. I personally believe that's what playing Riven should be like so you can have an easier time doing things like this.
Roaming Back to Top
Simply stated: Always keep an eye on the minimap. Riven is a god at skirmishes so everytime you roam and get a kill, you get more gold for your team while you put the enemy team behind allowing you to carry games. You can roam at any point in the game but I prefer waiting until you have your ult so you can secure kills much more easily.
Teamfighting Back to Top
In team fights, your main goal is to use your CC effectively and help your team come out on top. I recommend waiting for some of the enemy CC to go off before you dive in because Riven becomes much less impactful if she gets locked down. The thing that will help you most in this situation is quick thinking/timing.
