lol @ leyrann post

you finally bring in ranked for one of your post when 90% of the posts youve written on here were when you were in silver.

the best thing you can do is either like leyrann said wait til your team starts the fight then go in and clean up or get a red trinket, splitpush, and try to pick someone off.

Riven will never be on par with Renekton during lane just due to his sustain. but her late game will always be better if on even gold.

my opinion on the mercs is only buy if i absolutely need it during lane phase otherwise aim for the 40% cdr with blue pot/buff providing the last 10%. you have to be confident in your positioning with this.

the only real defensive item you need is GA as it gives you initation power (still usually a bad idea). the only time it works is when you have positioning to flank the AD/AP carry off the bat. it also works with 40% cdr as your spell rotation will usually be up after the GA procs.
