Riven the Exile
Once a swordmaster in the warhosts of Noxus, Riven is an expatriate in a land she previously tried to conquer. She rose through the ranks on the strength of her conviction and brutal efficiency, and was rewarded with a legendary runic blade and a warband of her own. However, on the Ionian front, Riven's faith in her homeland was tested and ultimately broken. Having severed all ties to the empire, she now seeks to find her place in a shattered world, even as rumors abound that Noxus itself has been reforged...

MetaBot Tips

- Riven is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
- Riven has less damage per game than most other damage dealer champions. Your value to the team may be better oriented towards crowd control or securing objectives.
- Riven has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
- Riven has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
- Riven has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
- Riven excells at supporting other champions, and should prioritize helping carrying type champions again kills and snowball.

Gameplay Tips
Playing Riven
- Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well.
- Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.
Playing Against Riven
- Riven has a great deal of mobility but she cannot move very far with any one skill. Rooting or silencing her during her combo will greatly reduce her effectiveness.
- All of Riven's damage is physical, prioritize high Armor if an opposing Riven gets out of control.
- Riven excels at dueling multiple melee attackers at once, as she will be on an almost equal footing damage-wise. If pairing up against Riven, don't go in as double melee until she has expended her ful
