Fizz vs Riven Matchup Summary

The Fizz vs Riven matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Riven wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Fizz's 33.3%, giving Riven a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Riven dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Fizz players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Riven leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Riven has a strong advantage in this matchup. Fizz players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Riven overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Riven provides 0.7 seconds more crowd control per minute than Fizz, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Riven coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
