Riven Top, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Riven's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Riven is an AD bruiser in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a top-tier pick — a 52.0% win rate, 3.1% pick rate, 35,881 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Riven spikes hardest in the mid game around the two-to-three-item mark — that is the window to force fights and objectives.
How Riven wins: splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it, and using Riven's mobility to catch isolated targets. The kit grades 8/10 split-push, 8/10 mobility. Play around where Riven is thin, disengage (2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.
The most-played core build is Axiom Arc, Sundered Sky, Death's Dance, which holds a 56.0% win rate across 1,643 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.
