Who Wins
- Riven wins pre-6 through superior burst trades and mobility to avoid your Q damage.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R stats and can potentially 1v1 if she misplays her cooldowns.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is to W her during her Q combo, then run through minions with Q to force extended trades where your poison deals sustained damage.
- Avoid short trades where she can Q-auto-W and disengage cleanly.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to get level advantages and roam timings, as Riven struggles to match your proxy farming.
- Let her push into you mid-game when you have R available for all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to fight her in extended minion waves early game where she can use Q mobility to stick to you without taking minion damage.
- Avoid using E aggressively without W available as she can easily chase you down.
