Riven is a highly mechanical champ, but in the end she Stat checkes you if oneshot or not, and currently riven only succeedes if someone who knows trade patterns perfectly poilots her, and even then there are better champs in my opinion

7:56 he made renekton both think he was gonna last hit his cannon (and subsequently letting renek lasthit his) but was baiting it and just sacrificed it for the allin. It's pretty dope even in high elo.

Q1-E-Q2 for approaching is actually the best order, for the reason of chaining other skills and maintaining the shield. Such a detailed player.

Finally, Azhy getting featured. He's so underrated ♥~

riven has such a high skill ceiling that it takes so much effort just to play her well, and alot of time and work to play her at this level. the average player cannot play her to this level sadly.

bro figured out how to play fiora on riven

Since when was azhy hidden 😅 I think every riven player knows him

I'm really intrigued about how these super pros brains work, it must be a hell lot of micromanaging to not only cs, watch the map, telegraph your own moves (as Riven requires intense mechanical skills) but also to memorize the opponent's cooldowns. I hate Riven as a champ, but to lose to such skill, I probably won't get as upset, just in complete awe.

@messiah_lol

Жыл бұрын

experience, pattern detection, and muscle memory are the biggest factors. it gets to a point where you're good enough at a character that it starts to play itself, you don't have to put much thought into reacting to a situation you just kind of instinctively know what you have to do after you've done it enough times. the less attention you have to pay to piloting your champ, the more attention you can pay to the rest of the game- map, wave states, tracking enemies, tracking cooldowns, objectives, etc. humans only have so much attention they can divide among so many things, a lot of the times if you're focusing on trades and cs, you'll be less aware of the map, and you might die to ganks/roams, which is what really sets the best players apart. the ability to juggle all of the different skills required, and to do them all at the highest level simultaneously is very difficult to manage. I consider myself pretty good, I love studying azhy's games though, it's very inspiring to know that there's somebody that good out there for me to chase after

"Pretend" as in Azhy hiding his real intention of setting up the Q3 for the kill by wave clearing with Q1 and Q2, he did clear the minions but that acts as a disguise of his true motive. The whole sentence is referring to his intention, not what he actually did.

I hate the quinn lane as a Riven player, but honestly the best a jungler can do is simply try to burn Quinn's flash. If both Riven and Quinn have flash it is very Quinn favored and she'll just bully you forever. If she doesn't but you do, you can simply braindead go all in and once she uses E you can just flash follow her and get a kill. Riven is my favorite champion because you play around cooldowns like this, and there's plenty of situations where you're both full HP but you know, 30 seconds before it happens, that you are about to get a kill.

Because he goes all-in strategy to pressure and get ahead. Riven is extremely hard to play without the lead so it's not like transendence scaling gonna be a big factor. Azhy feels like scorch early is more of a difference maker for Riven than transendence that only comes online later. Early on and level 6-9 every bit of dmg matters on Riven for lethal too and when she is not all-ining she can poke trade a lot after a few points in Q / getting back to lane with ionians.

The secondary rune choice of nimbus cloak and scorch is for cheesing early kills. It's a good setup for chipping away at enemies hp bar with some trades then using flash/ignite for the movespeed to finish off the kill. Alot of the time in lane you will just use one q or w then back off so scorch helps alot with those short trades and yea nimbus for the all in when they are in lethal range.

@MaCoqAttack

Жыл бұрын

And in games where enemy team has alot of cc you should go legend: tenacity and unflinching because being locked down is the best way to shut down fed hyper carries such as Riven, Kata etc. Alot of Riven's power is being able to leap on opportunities as they arise with flash or just e/q mobility and catch people as soon as they miss step so being cc'ed during that moment is quite painful

She has a higher winrate against Garen than the average champion does against garen. Traditional advice says Garen is a “counter” to her but a good riven isn’t getting stomped by a garen. Even if riven lost lane to Garen she should be able to impact other lanes more thanks to her mobility and cc and more frequent ability uptime. Plus her execute is multi-target rather than single target, she’s just better. Garen is much easier though and if you’re not up against a skilled riven it’s probably fine to go Garen but other picks work too, Garen is just the easiest
