She can do very well in the jungle, as Shook from Alliance has shown us. You do posit some excellent suggestions for keeping your health a little higher. Although, I find most people normally max E second anyway. As for Leyrann, Riven can fit the tank role just fine. She has shields, two forms of different stuns on short cooldowns and is excellent at disruption. However, this would really only work in higher tier games if your team knows in advance that you plan to be a tank. A tanky Riven with a team that has another tank isn't a great idea.

As for #4. I wish every jungler did this more often. Wards and vision win games far more than any other 75 gold purchase.


 * 5, this is a yes and a no. At 500 AD (easy to get with the activation of R) her ult hits for close to 1200 damage. Which is around 550 on Baron and this excludes penetration. Screw it, decided to do some math: Baron has 120 armour (60 with masteries and +20 flat penetration)) 60 armour is 37.5% damage reduction. 1191 (500 damage AD R) vs 37.5% damage reduction is 744.375, practically 75% of a smite. To reach 256 more damage, you'd need somewhere in the +190 more flat AD range. At approximately, 730 AD with R activated does Windslash do similar damage to smite. Regardless, though, if you walk/flash over and AA + slash, you'll beat smite :P

Also, Leyrann if you read it he said in his first sentence "If you are building AD". :/
