I rush a BF Sword indeed. Does that make me squishy? No. It makes me tanky, because it grants 45 bonus health (effectively) every time I use my shield. If I use it in a trade 4 times, I gain as much from it as from a Ruby Crystal. Normally, if for example both sides have a Vampiric Scepter, you trade more than four times. So I can just max Q or W while getting a nice shield.

AD Malzahar only doesn't run out of mana if he pushes the lane. Have fun getting ganked every three minutes. Top lane is a lot longer than mid lane.

Urgot might indeed do well, you're right there. But still, if you get too close (and for him autoattack range is too close), you either die, or survive thanks to your ult bonus armor. Not to mention you'll miss nearly every E, as Riven just uses HER E when you use it.

And no, I did not watch IPL. I have a life. I only watched one match today, and that's because I wanted to see a penta in tournament play. And believe me, if that red wasn't guarded, Riven's team did something wrong. Everyone can win lane if he has red.

With Fiora - If you're having problems vs Fiora as Riven, you push the lane to her tower in 3 seconds, then you leave and gank mid, then you come back top, push lane, steal wraiths + golems (wolves if red team), back to lane, push, gank, push, steal, push, gank, push, steal, push, gank. And of course the recalls in between, to spend all the money from assists, stolen jungle, killed junglers, and pushed lane minions. And if you don't have problems you feed on her.

You are also talking about Akali autoattacking Riven. It never happens that someone autoattacks my Riven without getting a total damage of 165 + 3.6 bonus AD + 3.0 total AD. At level 4. Just a Q - AA - Q - AA - Q - AA combo. That is already a health pot from only base damage, and you can add another health pot from bonus damage, when I count armor.

And you're talking about raping Rivens. Well, that's surely not hard to do, as long as 90% of them makes me want to ragequit because they have no idea what they're doing... Hell, I even saw one buying Thornmail against a team where AP/on-hit Teemo was the closest to AD they had... Stomping Rivens says nothing to me. Only stomping Rivens who know what they're doing (two things needed: Taking damage items, no health, as damage is indirect health, see first paragraph, and using ability - autoattack - ability - autoattack) tells me something.

It sounds easy, right, knowing what you're doing? Believe me, 90% of the LoLcommunity doesn't understand it.
