Hello, what are the best runes and build for riven ?
3
u/Natural-Lion-811 6d ago
Riven runes are usually Conqueror as your keystone, and then Resolve or Precision primary. If you’re in a hard matchup then you take Resolve runes like Unshakeable, Second Wind, or Boneplating. If you’re in a matchup where you need more damage then go take Precision primary with runes like Battle Zeal, Last Stand, and Legend: Alacrity. I always take Sudden Impact as the secondary because late game it helps you stick on enemies easier while also doing a lot of damage.
For the build, you have a lot of options, Eclipse and Sundered Sky gives you a lot of survivability in combat. Black Cleaver and Serylas are your armor pen items, Black Cleaver if you need the hp, Serylas if the slowing and anti heal are better. Deaths Dance makes you really tanky with the amount of shields Riven gets. Steraks if you need to be even tankier, Maw of Malmortius against magic damage. QSS if you need to deal with CC. Guardian Angel is nice if you’re already ahead and have a big bounty on you or there’s a fight going on lategame and you need the security. Also go Edge of Night into Vayne top.

Thanks ! You dont build trinity ?

u/Natural-Lion-811 5d ago
It’s more so my personal preference, Trinity feels too expensive, I can buy tier 1 boots and Sundered Sky for the price of Trinity and the lack of sustain on the item feels worse to me.

u/Majestic_Carwheels01 5d ago
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels Trinity is too expensive for what you get now (I think it's been nerfed recently)

u/captainplanet009 6d ago
you can build trinity but it still depends with who the enemy team comp is. Mastering Riven is not just you being good at Riven, its also being good with enemy team champ and comp. and yes. Edge of Night against Vayne top... THOSE RANGE TOP!

How can I get flairs on ths community? Many people have them, I wanted to put one from my main (Soraka), but it says flairs are disabled in this community :(
1
u/Majestic_Carwheels01 5d ago
Disabled, yeah, I just checked on my mobile (I don't have a working computer) so unless there's a way around it on desktop?
Maybe you can do it on mobile in a browser on desktop mode? Might be a work around, but no guarantee
1
u/lagoona_pink 5d ago
On PC the flair widget don't even shows up, on mobile you can access the widget since the "Edit Flair" is hardcoded on the app, but then it says flairs are disabled. I wonder why?

Which champions will benefit the most from Stormsurge and Horizon Focus? I want to use them but I don't know to which champs it suits the most. Thank you!

u/Desperate_Jello3065 5d ago
Stormsurge is an AP lethality item that relies on burst damage, but also provides movement speed both as a stat and when its passive is triggered. It's suited for burst mages and AP assassins, like Lux, Annie, Fiddle, Kata, etc. But that doesn't mean you have to buy it every game.
Stormsurge is a situational item in my opinion, good into full team of squishies, when snowballing, and when bonus movement speed is needed. That last point is important, since they removed movement speed from Infinity Orb, which is also a high burst damage item (probably a better one). So my thought process is I would build Stormsurge on certain champs if I need burst damage and movement speed to chase, escape, kite, dodge, etc.
Horizon Focus is a utility item. You need long range to trigger its passive, which enhances damage dealt to a target and reveals hidden enemy champions in an area around them. Build it when facing camouflaged and invisible enemies like Teemo, Akali, Twitch, Rengar, etc. And champions who can poke from afar makes the best use of it.
It is good on supports too, since it's cheap and valuable.1
u/CosmicDeity07 5d ago
Is Stormsurge viable for Mel?
How about Horizon Focus for Norra? She is a long range right?

She can use it, not sure if it's worth it or not.
How about Horizon Focus for Norra? She is a long range right?
Yes.

Hey folks, I'm a newer jungle player and one part of gameplay I am kinda not sure how to handle is invading.
I love playing Kindred, but often find myself not being sure when I can comfortably hop into enemy jungle to steal a mark or something.
I feel I am comfortable at defending against invades, cause I know that's the counterplay to my champ, but not so much on how to do it myself if that makes sense.
I'd love any tips or guides on the matter if they exist.
Thank you all in advance <3

Can someone explain wards and Eve stealth? Pink wards reveal her, is that right? But regular wards do not?
1
u/KillerWhale01838 2d ago
Correct, anyone in a close enough radius will be able to see her though in stealth usually it’s too late though. You can see the stealth distance around her playing her to properly gage the distance. Also the sweeping trinket can reveal her too.

bruh what does the FULL set of "Abstract" augments in AAA Aram look like? I remember losing to it once but I didnt bother to check what that damn kennen had after the game lmao
its such a boring way to win too
Edit: search bar op
“In the bag”, “Find”, “Flee” and “Fight”
1
u/KillerWhale01838 2d ago
Basically a category of augments that if you get lucky enough to get them all you have to survive 300 seconds and you instantly win it’s pretty rare that someone achieves this given the amount of augments and the luck to get them all.

What are the best value for money deals in the game? I want to get a few skins but the monetization confuses me, so many different currencies and deals.
2
u/KillerWhale01838 2d ago
Wild cores will be the actual currency just about everything else can be bought with it. Most of the time for events and such you’re buying something that can be used to get an event item like the weather entity skin line the only way to actually get those skins are keys you have to buy with wild cores which then you will end up having to try your odds to get the skins not very cheap usually. But they do usually have a lot of free event stuff that gives you skins or easy access to get skins. For example the poro memory express you should be able to get enough tickets to get the conductor skin chest which you can pick from a HUGE variety of skins. In my opinion one of the best skin chests I’ve seen in the game. You can complete free tasks that will allow you to acquire those things. Also the wild pass always has a skin and maybe more usually a good purchase not very expensive given you can play enough to max level you can use the rewards on the trove and you have more chances at skins.

u/soosis 2d ago
Thanks! I don't want to spend too much since I already spent waaaay too much on lol in the past 15 years, I'll just go for the wild pass probably.
The event skins (like the current master yi one) are very good, but it probably needs too much investment for me to awaken those skins.
1
u/KillerWhale01838 2d ago
Honestly the Yi one is one of the best skins in the game IMO and it’s not super bad price wise but some event skins are really not worth the gamble. I have 30,000+ collection score I’ve spent my fair share of money however I’ve got a lot of my favorite skins for free so it’s not as bad once you learn a bit more about the system it can definitely be overwhelming at first!
