Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s levels 1-3 due to Riven's superior burst and mobility with Q dashes and E shield.
- At level 6, you gain significant kill pressure with R execute, but Riven can still outplay with her full combo if she gets on top of you.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves landing Q slow first, then positioning to proc W shotgun knees while she's slowed.
- Always try to trade when your passive legs are ready, and use E to flip her away after proccing damage rather than engaging with it.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish range advantage and prevent Riven from freezing on you.
- Once you have items, you can look to freeze and zone her from CS with your superior range and W damage threat.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E aggressively to engage trades early game as Riven will out-damage you in extended fights.
- Don't waste Q on minions when Riven is looking to trade, as the slow is crucial for landing your W damage and preventing her from gap-closing freely.
