What are some tips for the Riven vs. Renekton matchup?

Very Hard Renekton is one of your toughest matchups; you absolutely MUST win the Level 1 exchange (especially if he starts Q) to get an early lead. When trading, focus on small windows and aim to keep him just ABOVE 50% HP, because if he drops below that threshold, he generates Fury 50% quicker, making his empowered abilities lethal. Look to set up an all-in at Level 6 by waiting for him to blow his E (Slice and Dice) and W (Preditator's Viscera), which have high cooldowns early.

What are some tips for the Riven vs. Malphite matchup?

Hard / Farm This is a hard matchup since Malphite punishes you heavily if you fall behind and rushes Plated Steelcaps early. While you must punish him hard at Levels 1 and 6, the critical rule during trading is that if he presses E (Ground Slam), you must immediately disengage, as the attack speed reduction (cripple) makes your auto-attacks useless. A good trading trick is to engage with E first, as Malphite often uses his E immediately when he sees you dash in, giving you an opening to trade out.

Malphite	Easy	455	51%	+46	+1,142	Hard / Farm This is a hard matchup since Malphite punishes you heavily if you fall behind and rushes Plated Steelcaps early. While you must punish him hard at Levels 1 and 6, the critical rule during trading is that if he presses E (Ground Slam), you must immediately disengage, as the attack speed reduction (cripple) makes your auto-attacks useless. A good trading trick is to engage with E first, as Malphite often uses his E immediately when he sees you dash in, giving you an opening to trade out.

Garen	Very Hard	427	48%	-27	-291	Easy / Farm This is a favorable farm matchup where you should play to freeze the wave near your tower, as Garen cannot contest your priority at Level 1. Generate advantageous short trades by utilizing your Q-Extend technique: Garen will almost always try to Q you when you Q3, so you can block his Q (Decisive Strike) with a well-timed E or E-W, knowing that your Q cooldown is lower than his. When looking to finish him off with Riven's superior Level 6 spike, make sure to always wait out his W (Courage) before using Windslash (R2).

Fiora	Even	413	54%	+105	+258	Even / Skill This is a Riven-favored skill matchup where you must secure priority at Level 1, ensuring you punish her if she uses her Q aggressively to engage on you. The key to winning the lane is playing around the incredibly high cooldown of her Riposte (W) (24 seconds at rank 1), aiming to bait it out with a short engagement (e.g., Q3 in and E out). Your Level 6 spike is significantly stronger than hers, so once her Riposte is down, look for the all-in.

Aatrox	Easy	394	56%	-61	+1,100	Even / Skill Start aggressively at Level 1 to establish priority, Riven favored. You have huge CD advantage early, punish if he wastes EQ aggressively, but be aware that Aatrox spikes if he rushes Tabis or gets Dirk, prioritizing farm if that happens. You have to avoid q3 at all cost. Focus on short trades and disengaging before his Conqueror healing ramps up, and aim for an all-in at Level 6 where your combat ultimate gives you the edge.

Jax	Even	359	50%	-52	+191	Hard / Skill This matchup is currently hard due to Jax being highly tuned, but your strategy remains the same: focus on playing strictly around the high cooldowns of his E (Counter Strike) and R (Grandmaster's Might), as he becomes immensely tanky with both active. When he engages with Q + E, use your E-W doublecast defensively to mitigate his initial burst and stun, then disengage immediately, as he loses trades heavily after his Counter Strike ends.

Ambessa	Easy	350	55%	+171	+1,108	Skill Matchup The information for this matchup is still pending as few games have been played. For now, proceed as a Skill Matchup where you must respect her damage and self-healing, focusing on dodging her abilities (as most of them can be sidestepped) and trying to get her Boneplating off before committing to a full trade.
