Really nice list of mechanics. I think it should also be noted when to use them though. For example, you don't want to double cast too much in lane trades because it wastes your shield ability, but you do want to use double casting if you have lethal, which you only can really tell with practice. Also her short trade combos should be noted. The main reason she is so annoying for good players to lane against is because riven should almost never lose a short trade. If you q, aa, q-knockup, aa, stun, aa, e away they almost never can do anything about it. That was a pretty sloppy description of her short trade though because the number of auto attacks you can get in is usually matchup dependent. In hard matchups you can actually trade with q knockup and stun in a way that let's you get 2 autos and they get none. If you master these short trades you can pretty much play around any champion in the game, which is why riven is so good in the right hands.
Spend 500 years learning animation cancels, smash a Malphite in lane, only to be outperformed in fights by him pressing R. Disclaimer: I don't play Riven
You forgot the part where you either a: get split pushed to infinity or b: ostracized by your entire friend group cause you play a brain dead champ who has one job and does it pretty well and it’s a weekend clash tourney and you need one team fight to win and you press the r on the 10-0 adc and you fucking miss, fly 20 yards past them, get aced and lose
@@pentagonperry I’m just stating that I didn’t understand how to maximize Riven’s burst in quick successions like they showed and explained in the video. Because of that I steered clear of learning Riven. But now I understand her better from this video and want to try her out more.
@@pottersky1 Riven destroys Darius. Darius litteraly has ONE win condition against Riven and it is interrupting her third q with his e. And even then, he has A CHANCE to kill Riven. Riven, on the other hand, has the perfect kit to counter Darius: mobility to stick to him and negate his ghost and avoid the outer part of his q, damage to kill him quickly, before he even gets the chance to stack his passive and a shield to soak part of his damage or his ultimate. Darius in challenger has an abysmal winrate into Riven (where you can find the top Rivens that truly mastered the champions). It gets better in lower elos but it's still in favor of Riven despite her being a hard to play champions. Gragas and Illaoi are the real cancer for Riven
@@xRevTheoryx I'm not about to lie and say that I4m some high elo amateur player or anything like that. I've been Bronze since I started playing the game back in season 6 and I main top. One of the most consistent things I see in Bronze are Riven players fucking up combos and using E dash aggressively, only for me to ghost after them and go 6/0 against them. And guess what? 96% of the playerbase is Bronze or Iron, so I feel like I can confidently say that mastering Riven will never matter as a problem for my laning phases because I will never see someone that good.
EXTRA TIPS if you time it right you can E - R - AA - double cast WQ you can usually cheese most people level 1 but there are quite a few champs like darius that will kill you if you do that. if you E flash, you can insta cast WQ instead of having to wait like normal E .
I disagree with the fact that lv 1 darius can kill you, Adrian has shown a lot of darius lv cheese with ignite, and resolve in secondary (boneplating, shield bash). He did it a lot in his stream when landing against darius, proke darius bone plating with 3 rd q then all in with ignite after a few sec. I personally tried it and it works most of the time! Since Rito has nerf darius passive so now it is even easier! He also did a darius matchup guide, saying that if darius pull you first (e), you win with all in, but if he hold it and pull you to cancel your 3Rd q, he will most likely to win.
Tips from a riven main here. Do not double cast E+W you're just wasting your shield because the guy wont be able to hit you through it. Just E+AA+Q or E+Q then W
The terms you use here are super oof A triple cast is when you blend 3 'cast bars' into 1 just like a double cast is when you blend 2 cast bars into 1. so e-wq is a double cast because w's blue cast time bar disappears into Q's so 1 cast time for 2 abilities. ERW is just a double cast input buffered into another ability not a triple cast because E has no casting animation/time so it is E+R casted for the cast time of R while removing the awkward stutter of R's cast. But the W at the end just comes out like a normal W after ER so it's NOT A TRIPLE CAST. ATM no 'true' triple cast exists (I am only a rivenmains subreddit lurker).
@@rczg nope its just gore input buffered into a double cast. if you look st the cast bars you see gore drinker and q both go off so 2 cast bars for 3 abilities. not 1 cast bar for 3 abilities
doesnt help the god tier picks are too strong atm and jung has too much impact 1.3m points riven main here garen darius urgot has to be deleted first PS u got no mixed or max health dmg u get bascily destroyed after bramble or ninja tabs or both in most cases in higher elo so u get fcked anyway :)
@Levi I don't talk about lane about the games their comeback potential is far easier and their team threat 0:9 Darius should t be positive after such a landing phase They are far to easy Atm

i think this is a very bad/obvious riven mechanics all riven player already knows or atleast should know
this isnt a tip to climb, but to learn riven when u picked it up yesterday
"q - aa - q - aa - stun- aa - e away" is not a short trade lol
short trades are more like "QW - AA - EQ away"
Just watch Adrian riven
fax bro. His dragon ball fighterz is cleaaan.

This was really good. Always been a fan of Riven but never understood the combos or auto cancelling.
I don't understand this. either you play against it or you play it but can't animation cancel.

Thanks for the list of mechanics. I couldn't care less about the last one tho, I've been playing only aram for the past 3 years 🤣
what happened to Adam (your boy) Moriarty Isles? is he still alive?
I can do all whit her But i cant do the Big Wall Jumbs How can i learn it is so hard
use E into the wall before 3rd Q
yooo foxy!!
Nice
riven is good
but when enemy has high armor or Cc
its full useless
It just means you don't know how to play around it. Riven when mastered is one of the best carry champs in the game
