I have to be a honest, I dont think she was very UP when first released. I bought her the moment the patch came out and practiced with her for like a week, I did alot of theory crafting. I was destroying everyone in matches, and then when they buffed her? I lol'd. It was gg for anyone facing me >_> As a note, Riven has ridiculously good lvl 1 dmg, and if done right through to lvl 6, you can totally deny your enemy lane. Riven should go for straight AD early-mid game if snowballing, then some armor and hp at the end. Go for the armor and Hp early if you're getting your ass kicked. These are the types of champs that Riven dominate in a solo lane: AD carries AP carries (SKILL SHOT BASED) Its almost impossible for Riven to get near a champ like..say...Annie. Tanky DPS (early game)

And despie what ive read below, Yorick gets shut down hard by an early game riven. As does poppy and the others. In my months of experience, I've found that the only counters to my playing Riven is (In the solo lane that is): Wukong (an exceptionally good one) Rumble (^) and possibly a high hp renekton.
