Is it possible for TSM to "Un-Feature" this guide...No offense to you Xpecial but this one was pretty bad your new one that you posted is great. The problem is i see SO many people using Riven with this build and they just preform very poorly, somewhat obviously due to skill level but also due to the build.

Hi, I have a completely new guide here http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=6727.

Cheers guys, I listened to your feedback ^^

Sure my guide about Riven is better than this one, but nobody cares cause im hell ELO... http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=6505

Not to jump on the hate train, but why would you write a guide just to say "Hey guys, this character sucks, here are some items that aren't complete shit on her. But she's still bad."? All you basically did was list the recommended items and tell people to wait for a buff. Featured? Uh....

Yet it's still about 50/50 on votes (while having received over 100). If a random guy wrote this "guide" (I can barely find a guide, just a build) and if it had viewers by a chance, it probably wouldn't have even one up vote.

Those Solomid members should really consider thinking the mindset of their guide writing over. There's alot of guides on this site being better guides than alot of their featured one's, they just don't get as many free viewers.

This is the worst featured guide on solomid, by far. Not only is it slapped together poorly, the itemization is terrible. It looks like you played one game with Riven, and just put the build you used in the guide. I do agree with you that riven is definitely one of the worst champions when it comes to competitive play. But, you did not build her correctly.

@Garlix: Because Xpecial is not The Rain Man.

Been reading some of these comments and i gotta put in my two sense i have learned about Riven. Two items i noticed that make riven unstoppable is IE and Atmas. IE with her passive mixed with the crit+damage i 2-3 shot squishies. Tanks are not too far behind. Only problem i see on riven is SOOO MUCH FARMING!!! I feel like i am useless till i get those two items. I'm just looking for a good build and need some advice =(

I've found Riven pretty difficult to lane with early, and without good luck on kills, she just falls further behind. I'm sure some of this is simply based that I'm not too great with her, and he runes aren't maximized for her potential, but I do feel she needs work, cause she's an assassin without burst or a tanky DPS without survivability.

@Shandow, increase is base dmg would be nice, but she still requires too much spamming and often has to play catch up to her kills. I feel a good way to make her more deadly and better able to sustain herself with increased range on all her abilities (Higher distance on Q, more AE on W, and longer dash on E). She could easily fit the role of assassin with more range (increased of course with blade)

I agree with everything in this build except for FoN. I find Black Cleaver to be an especially useful item for her.
