Riven Top matchup tips

  1. Riven vs Mordekaiser Top - Keep a minion between you and Mordekaiser when you can, and use Broken Wings(Q) movement to dodge Obliterate(Q) rather than taking its isolated hit.
  2. Riven vs Aatrox Top - Do not force an all-in through a large Aatrox wave; let him push, then dodge the Q sweet spots and Infernal Chains(W) with your Q or E before trading.
  3. Riven vs Volibear Top - Keep trades short after level 3 and avoid letting Volibear land a second Frenzied Maul(W); the repeat cast heals him, so extended trades favor his sustain.
  4. Riven vs Nasus Top - Use the first levels to zone Nasus from minions and experience; if the wave begins pushing toward him, freeze near your side and punish him when he steps up to stack Q.
  5. Riven vs Camille Top - Bait Camille's passive shield with a light trade, then wait for it to expire before committing your full burst.
  6. Riven vs Shen Top - Wait out Shen's W before relying on passive-enhanced basic attacks; use your other abilities to pressure him while the block is active.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
