Pumping out straight damage isn't gonna work on Riven. She really needs to be smart with her plays to do anything

Unlike Yasuo, she doesn't have the luxury of free crits, or infinite dashes, or ranged aoe knockups and free armor pen.

Riven needs to build for everything, and always sacrifices something In return.

It is most definitely frustrating when she pulls up her shield and stuns you a million times with a shit ton of damage, but you know, she does have a lot of weaknesses too.

Like her dashes ARE dodgeable, her main damage is autoattacks, only her 3rd dash is her important knockup, you can dash or blink out of certain abilities, cc will prevent her from using E, which is both her sustain and getaway tool, and prevent her main damage source(Q), from being activated.

Oh yeah, and if you see a Riven ult, you know she's gonna be ulting you for missing health damage later. Like, get out of range immediately or stun her and leave, and she'll just have a wasted ult for a while.
