How to Use Riven Counter Data
Need dependable Riven counter data? The matchup figures below are drawn directly from recent ranked Top lane games, not from tier-list opinion. Right now Vex, Taliyah, and Orianna are the lane matchups where Riven has its weakest win rates in the current dataset. Vex is the hardest of them: Riven takes only 39.1% of its 192 recorded games into that matchup. Conversely, Riven does well against Gwen, Yone, and Locke, so those are the safer lanes to draw.
Every card displays Riven’s win rate along with the number of games it’s based on. A matchup supported by tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one resting on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags are calculated from the win rates themselves (under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy). They’re meant to help you read the numbers quickly and aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above across all regions, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. For the strongest items and runes, check the current Riven build page; for abilities and complete details, visit the Riven champion page.
