Riven is an excellent Fighter in every aspect. She’s okay in the early stages and does better in the laning phase with her mobility. Besides, Riven deals burst damage and easily wins when 1vs1 with enemies.

Riven will be useless if she is left behind. Use a team with a lot of CC to counter Riven, gank early to destroy Riven or prevent Riven from farming in the early game.

Below are my experiences having fought 232 matches with Riven. These experiences will help you win over her without wasting much time.
