Sorry, but as I have made at least 5 VERY detailed (stat to stat) posts about why Trinity Force (and thus Sheen) is trash on Riven, I am NOT going to do it again. You&apos;ll just have to search in older comments for it.

You seem to think that I buy a Bloodthirster for the life steal. You can&apos;t be more wrong. The reason you rush a Bloodthirster on Riven, is because of the attack damage. Just look at her scalings, imagine one autoattack per ability used, one full combo. So also full use of her passive. Add max ult damage, and you get 1540 damage (counting normal bonus damage from autoattacks) and 100 shield.

Was about to mention some damage increases from BT vs another start item, but that was Last Whisper, not Trinity Force. However, I DO recall someone calculating that, NOT counting price, Bloodthirster gives about 25% more damage in a full combo than a Trinity Force, plus it gives sustain through just last hitting.

Also, as you yourself said, you SHOULD test it out sometimes. So you haven&apos;t yet. Well, I have. And Sheen is sh*t on Riven.
