Riven is one of the most popular top laners in Wild Rift, mainly because of her unique playstyle, and that's why players want to know how to counter Riven.
When ahead, Riven can solo carry a game, destroying every enemy in their path with ease. That' can be fun when you have a Riven on your team, however, that is also exactly what you want to prevent from happening if you are facing one.
How to Counter Riven in Wild Rift
Riven is one of the most solid Baron lane champions right now, with a decent laning phase, strong late game, and incredible ability to snowball a game.
However, like all champions, Riven also has weaknesses. Riven's early laning phase might be solid but isn't great, and champions such as Darius, Renekton, or Garen, are great at taking advantage of that.
These three champions have a lot of kill pressure and will force Riven to play extremely safe. Riven is extremely weak when she is behind, so if she is solo killed or falls considerably behind on farm, the game is pretty much over for her.
So you want to punish Riven in the early game as much as possible, especially before she reaches level 6. Deny her farm, call your jungle to set up ganks, and trade with her when her Q ability is on cooldown. The main goal is to make her laning phase as hard as possible.
You just need to be careful not to give Riven an early kill, as a single kill is enough for her to take over the game. It's better to lose a few minions or request help from your jungler, than just trying to 1v1 her in a losing situation.
We hope this guide was useful, and wish you the best of luck when facing Riven in the Rift.
