Riven Counter: Since the release of Conqueror, Leagues of Legends Riven counter has been doing a good job in the top lane even though she is still not in the best position. She is extremely oppressive in lane when played right (often only by her mains and one-trick since it requires a lot of time dedicated to this champion because of its high skill cap and difficulty) and has very little openings to take advantage of. Any mistakes made can be punished immediately and brutally with her high damage, high mobility abilities.

Tips To Deal With Riven Counter 8.19

1)LOL Riven is highly dependent and reliant on the physical damage she builds and this raw damage will often outshine whatever other champions provide in small skirmishes so do not try to fight her in these fights as her Area of Effect Damage and CC will outpower most times very easily.

2) Riven will only build Physical Damage items since her whole kit relies and scales extremely well off it, so build a lot of defensive items that contain armor to counter her raw power in case she becomes fed and has more items than you have.

3) LOL counter Riven has a lot of mobility because of the nature of her kit and the cooldowns of it, so try putting her in place by timing your hard CC like a snare or a stun during her Q/ Broken Wings or E/ Valor to break her flow(although soft CC like silences and other status effects would do the same and work just as fine too) and prevent her from escaping or chasing you and your team.

4) Use ranged harass on her or just harass in general where you are able to escape without taking much damage and having favorable trades, this helps a lot because of how low her early game health regen is. This also helps in zoning her out, since it makes her more hesitant to go for an all in or a risky play. Be careful to not go for unfavorable trades with her though since her excruciating amount of damage or if she has ult while you’re a level behind will tear you apart.
