Riven Bot lane guide (26.15)
Introduction
Who am I?
Hello I'm currently, as writing this guide, 6th worldwide for Riven mastery points and 2nd EUW, sitting at 8,721,958
I obviously wouldn't say I'm the best Riven but with so many mastery points I pretty much know the ins and outs of the champion, I just need to work on my macro lol, im currently grinding gm/chall and peak has been around 500 LP
Anyway here's the guide
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why bot lane?
So the bot lane quest is the best quest out of all the roles, this is because of the gold income you get from kills and CS, you can be behind all laning phase but if you stay consistent in farm and pick up 2-3 kills in the mid game, you can get your 2-3 item power spikes before 20mins which is a good way of getting back into the game.
You will get to the point where you can just 2v1 the bot ane as long as they don't have an annoying heavy CC support like Leona (perma ban)
Build Overview
vs cc
Always take Doran's Blade other wise you're going to have 0 dmg
go any boots you like, i prefer Ionian Boots unless they have heavy CC or alot of AA's
Build for Jack of all trades first recall
Even vs heavy AP you can go Hubris EH and get MAW later because you do will kill them before they kill you most of the time, if you are not comfortable you can always get hex in between just to be safe but does delay DD
LDR is so strong try get it after DD unless you really need MAW then it's fine you have a support to peel you remember
Only take ignite if you can survive lane without getting poked down a lot
Vs Poke/mage bot
vs zoe/liss/heavy cc
I like taking E 2nd where you don't have kill pressure
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So the goal of playing riven, all depends what support you have, the best support with riven are ones with CC like NautilusBlitzcrankBraum blitz is my personal preference but depends if he can land hooks or not, if he can, you can just perma fight against immobile ADCs like JinxJhin
Braum is probably the best due to his passive stunning them after 4 autos. Broken champ imo.
your most strong at level 3-6+ as soon as you get boots + hubris then you can constantly 2v1 their botlane and just play for tower then go mid.
If your support roams and they are freezing, just roam with them, this is why I prefer Teleport as you can go back to lane when they hard shove because they see you roaming.
If you don't see a play on the map though just stay in xp range or invade their jungler with yours
So why hubris?
Basically the AD you get from the passive gives you massive amounts of AD it also gives you a huge 500+Valorshield.
this is with about 69 Hubrisstacks
If you're having a good game and get a few stacks Blade of the Exile will be like pre nerf riven (26.14) you can average around 600 AD with ult active.
so in conclusion just play for your 3 core items and gain that LP.
good luck.
