Understanding Riven in League of Legends: The Champion That Confuses Even the Best
To begin with, let’s discuss why Riven is such a divisive character in the game. If you’re playing against an inexperienced Riven, it can feel like dancing with a friend who keeps accidentally stepping on everyone’s feet. As Aviraco describes, most of the Rivens he meets in Diamond 4 seem to be struggling, and he insists that he can’t remember ever winning a game with her on his team. It’s disheartening to watch your potential carry perform like a fish out of water! One player summed it up well when they said, “Riven is the only champion with a high skill cap that still has an above 51% win rate,” highlighting the frustrating inconsistency in her performance. When you see a Riven who’s more ‘Super Sad’ than ‘Super Saiyan,’ it can definitely alter your view of her true potential.
