Oh boy how I missed free Riven week. Solo top dominance, 2 people tower dive you, you get the double and they come back asking for more. One of my favorite fighters. Now how to build. Lately I've seen a rise of squishy/TF Rivens. People stop smoking whatever you're smoking and listen to this. ArPen Marks/ArPenQuints (or flat damage if that's your cup of tea but imo ArPen are better late game), typical armor yellows, MrLvL blues. She prefers her loneliness on top (friendly junglers can drop by on occasion) and will build as such. Start with boots+3 pots (or cloth+5 even if you're not jungling), build mercs + wriggles + phage + brutalizer. You should be jumping in peoples faces and then jump some more on their corpses. Don't be afraid to initiate but don't go Rambo either. Mid game you should have made FM and Ghostblade and then it's time for atmogs if you think you're still squishy or bloodthirster + whatever if they still haven't surrendered and you have a 9/1/? or something. Lately I find tanky Rivens sexy, even more so, so I believe atmogs is the wisest choice. Should you go CDR boots? Well if you're comfortable with less tenacity and mr then sure, go for it. Should you go TF? Short answer: No. Long answer: Hell naw. You don't need it at all. You want slow? Frozen Mallet? You want attack speed? This isn't Master Yi, it's Riven, don't get attack speed. You want crits? This isn't Critplank, it's Riven, don't get crits. You need ability power? This isn't Annie, it's a bigger girl, Riven, don't get ability power. You need movement speed? Well you already got boots silly! Therefore Tri-Force is a bad item and you should feed bad... for building it on Riven. Your endgame Riven should have 3k+ Hp, 250+ AD and around 100 both Arm/MR with the proper items. Summoners spells are free to your liking. Flash for escaping some unfavorable situations, ignite if Wind Slash doesn't get you the kill (it should every time if you time it correctly). For more fighter types, Heal/Exhaust can be also useful, but overall just get anything that suits your fancy. So go out and make me proud Rivens. Oh and if you find yourself feeding or failing, remember ""What is broken can be reforged!".
