Too easy to lane against her. There are too many new players to her at the moment, taking things like flash tele. It's her early game that is so strong, and if you pick up the early armour, she has to build excessivvely to counter you, then as long as you don't feed, you can just play passive. Her regen is really high, so your poke needs to be in quick bursts, followed with an ignite to block her off.

She falls off late game, still brutal, but falls off. I played against her top with Xin (who I am learning), bought an early wriggles and chain vest, and out sustained her. It was a skill match up in the end, and she got 2 kills on me, but I denied their blue and ganked mid, and crushed her later on.

What Riven, I feel, needs to do, is go the classic flash ignite, boots 3, push the lane QUICK AND EARLY, hit that level 2 before her opponent, broken wings, ki strike poke, ignite for a quick FB and then run away with the game. If you get ahead of her in farm and make the lane passive, she's lost.
