kinda like duo lane Singed. With a competent partner, he will dominate. With a bad one, he can't do anything. Riven does so much damage at lv 1 with a doran's blade and AD runes. QQQ combo with attacks after every Q is 3.3x bonus AD, not counting the normal 3x bonus AD you get from just the fact that AD makes your attacks hit harder. so total of 6.3x bonus AD extra damage. 25 bonus AD at lv 1 = ~160 damage (before resists) on top of the 30x3 + 3x base AD. Optionally add masteries for a little bit more fun.

Be aggressive immediately. receive first blood. proceed to dominate with your newfound gold. Hm. Given Riven's crazy AD scaling, Riven+Janna sounds like a good lane. especially at lv 2 when Janna can both slow and shield, and Riven can add a stun and MOAR AD SCALING to her combo. W means not only that 1.0 ratio on it, but also another passive charge, making it essentially 1.5. Ok let me theorycraft this. Level 2. 15 AD from runes. 10 from a doran's blade. 3 from offensive tree, 14 from Janna's shield. 42 bonus AD. 57 base AD. 99 AD total. QQQW hits for 30*3+50 = 140 base dmg and 0.6*3+1.0 = 2.8 bonus, and it lets Riven proc her passive 4 times for a total of 5*4 = 20 base dmg and 0.5*4 = 2.0 bonus. Total damage from a QhitQhitQhitWhit combo (or throw the W in between Qs if desired) is therefore 99*4 + 140 + 20 + 4.8*42 = 757.6 damage. At lv 2. lols. not counting any of Janna's own damage. Add 30 armor to the enemy and 6 armor pen on Riven, and you have... 611 actual damage. Add Janna's damage and/or an ignite, and/or armor reduction from Exhaust, and that is death to pretty much anyone. Wow. Who else can do that much damage so early? in the span of just 4 attacks that can be done while chasing.

Well I rambled quite a bit there, but it was still somewhat on topic.
