Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Riven and who Riven beats
Riven is terrifying when she is rolling, but her power lives entirely in her combo, and that combo can be answered. Her dashes from Broken Wings are short, her Ki Burst stun is a small area in front of her, and her Valor shield only lasts a moment, so a champion who can lock her down or outlast her burst flips the fight. She is also melee with no real ranged poke, which means she has to walk into danger to do anything. The way to beat Riven is to punish the moment her shield drops, to win extended fights where her short cooldown burst stops mattering, or to simply have enough crowd control that her mobility cannot save her. When you pick Riven, you are betting on your mechanics and your tempo, so respect anyone who can survive your all in and grind you down after it.
