Matchup tier list

Matchup tier list

I wanna see the community consensus on riven matchups so I came up with a tier list based on experience + what ppl say, please feel free to disagree plus I don’t have many games on riven and by no means am high elo.

Notes:

I mainly considered how easy (or hard) the early lane is as opposed to throughout the game, so some matchups can be easy but get harder throughout.

Unplayable: like, unplayable. Either cheese level 1, suffer in lane or don’t lane

Cassio: think I’ve only played her once and its definitely playable, but pretty challenging to play around her w and damage is surprisingly high, but will oom quickly

Zaahen: Super difficult if he has ignite/exhaust and will outscale, have to space rly well

Teemo: d shield second wind sustain but he takes boneplating and runs around pretty damn fast, will Q your combo and skedaddle with W. Probably easier for more experience players but for me ive mostly struggled.

Fiora: hard with exhaust

Illaoi: Hit by E u lose unless u can burst, dodge e u win

Garen: surge he has less pressure, conquerer you can trade back, have to space well and proc passive

Ornn/ksante: win lane early but after first back gets super tough, I find ornns damage more frontloaded tho

Yone: hard with exhaust

Darius: cannot win this matchup for the life of me

Ambessa: slightly hard with electro + exhaust, otherwise you steamroll her

Yas/GP/irelia/camille: on them to play better than you

Yi: played against a few, good yi will hold q for q3 and can prob win level 1, but just make sure not to dump your kit into his w

Cho/sion: rush eclipse but still tanky, HoB AP cho can be pretty tough

Kayle/dog/mundo: free lane but outscales, just freeze and zone

What do yall think

Riven build

so I’m by no means an experienced riven player so I kinda wanna know when to run which runes, items and boots.

So currently conquerer is obv non negotiable, but when do you run biscuits/joat/cosmic/cash back vs nimbus + transcendence vs resolve tree, and also when to run double adaptive vs haste vs hp?

Next is first item. So I’ve been defaulting to eclipse rush when they have burst and axiom vs squishies, but I never really know which one is better for which scenario and also when to go sundered first (and also ppl gg umbrial glaive??)

Then is the question of boots. When should I actually build boots (before first item or after) and when to build lucidity vs omnivamp vs defensive boots?

Lastly is the core after first item. Normally i go sundered second regardless of if I went eclipse or axiom, then dd in most cases or maw into heavy ap, seryldas as 4th item. This is where im rly confused cuz riven so many buildpaths and there’s many game states where i want both items but obv cant have them.

I apologise if this is a real mouthful, would really appreciate any advice, tysm

Also any tips on how to double cast RW, I feel like it’s still rly slow and can never get the timing right

Help with loadout

I’m a returning player from like 2018/19, so u can guess im not very up to date with the meta to say the least. I’m having trouble deciding which bots to use since I got like 10 new ones but dont know which ones to use so I’ve been using these few. I def don’t have their optimal loadouts but I have most of their pilots. the other bots I have r: quicksand ophion, gothic mars, pathfinder, Leo, ravager, warrior typhon and cryptic fenrir, with baihu luchador and heimdall for Titans. Any advice one which ones to use would be rly appreciated, thanks
