Resolve tree isn't actually that bad on Champions like Riven. I used to run 12-0-18 on any melee carry for the extra survivability. Once you've built an item, you don't even really notice the difference aside from keystones, and with how strong courage is, not taking it feels kind of silly. The pure amount of outplay and 1v2 potential that the shield gives makes it perfect for stomping as Riven, and makes it actually pretty safe to run people down even when you've blown your combo, since the shield lasts a full four seconds.

Seriously, who thought giving champions an extra health bar was a good idea?
