After.. 3 weeks of research 1 month of filming and directing 2 weeks of procrastinating 40 cups of coffee 14 redbulls A 15 hour editing session And a side of Rice Here is the video.. I have been awake for 30 hours. I am going to sleep now
lol im not a that much into league to where i know the stories about pro players but i feel like faker always pops up when people talk about champs either being made popular or shown to be amazing when people thought they where trash or meh XD
@@gmoddude12 its just that faker does what players like me do find something weird and strong and abuse it but where ppl like me get 55-65% winrate on those champs he gets 90% so people just want to try it out.
@@gmoddude12 This is because Faker understands the game better than most people and has the skills to back it up. Example of this is when he started playing Leblanc mid when Leb was more known for being a poking and damage support kinda like Zyra.
When you were talking about "Barcode Killer", and you revealed that it turned out to be Faker - literal goosebumps popped up on my skin and shivers were sent down my spine instantly - fking epic man. Nice video!
Would you like to do a History of LeBlanc? (tbh i'm asking cause I Master LB, ye i'm otp and I really would enjoy it), but I'm asking cause it's one of your favs. champs aswell isnt she? ^-^
That was amazing. You analyzed riven very well from her birth even though you played her since season 5. You deserve a lot more subscribers for all of the hard work. GOOD JOB!!
With all the time and effort you put into this you could have made a video bashing Riot for not helping content creators enough while you continue to use their intellectual property without having to pay them anything and wonder why maybe they do not infact do more outside of the Creator Lab, features on the Client, contest, and Summoner's Showcase, etc when all people make is videos about quitting, the game being ruined, or dying ha-ha-ha Or just not. And do this. Content. Which was SO GOOD. Man what a trip down memory lane! You-deserve-more-subs. To this day I still feel iffy on Serrated Dirk over Brutalizer, use to be a sick item on a Zap Max Jinx build back in the day. Really like the effort in this because if I am going to watch the WHOLE thing 100% it feels like every minute was not wasted learning something. In conclusion, as much work as this is, I'd love to see this series continued! Maybe at least for the top ten most popular champions (Yasuo, Zed, Riven, Jhin, uh...Lee Sin, Vayne, Teemo, Rengar, Katarina, and maybe Jinx though only us that crave despair play her on the current patch) Idk what the actual top ten are btw but what I am saying is I'd watch that. Obviously give yourself some time off though since this must take months to make and don't rush putting one out like once a month. Great job, worth the watch, can't wait to see what or who is next, well done.
5:09 I’ve missed this champion info screen more than you’d expect. I used to love league so much but it’s been more and more hard to like these last few years
""...Riven had no sustain built in her kit..." This reminds me of my friend who actually invited me to play League. Back when Riven was new, builds were really dfferent, you could build same few of item and still be effective. So he played Ninja Tabi + 5 Bloodthirsters. Bloodthirster was a stacking item back then, capping at 70 or 80 AD and 20% lifesteal. So at full build he had 350-400 bonus AD and 100% lifesteal and was totally unstopable. He managed to outlive most of CC and get back to full health in 2-3 hits even if he got low. Only thing that could stop him is 2-5 seconds of constant stun and not all compositions had this or execute it properly. And I miss that time when most ADCs built boots, IE, 2 BTs and 2 PDs :D
This video is SO well-made and informative. Like unbelievably so. This is a standard that other league of legends TH-camrs should strive for in quality. WELL DONE!!!
Exil np dude I first started playing riven when I saw boxbox, but then I discovered your channel and just went full main riven!! Luv ur vuds and keep up the great work dude
Such an amazing video. Totally worth waiting for your videos dude, the Yasuo's complete history was also really good. I'd really like to see more content like this, probably from other champions you like, although it's really difficult to make it's best quality content.
Hey man. Just wanna say as someone that's watched a ton of your videos regarding Riven, mechanics, coaching, and more, this is definitely a truly inspiring video and definitely motivated me to grind her again. I mainly play Melee, and main Marth, and that's why I play Riven, because of how similar they feel. I otherwise main Riven with a little over 400k mastery points in her. Would love to sit down and talk with you and hear more of your insight if possible.
@@cognition26 didnt watch him activly back then but theshy wasnt just a riven otp (just like viper) he could play other champs aswell but riven was just the one he played most cause of fun
@@tbone9474 I find Yasup mains more toxic, since unlike riven mains that would give way when convinced properly, yasuo mains normally type mid or feed in the chat, or outright dodge when their champ is banned. Plus, if you manage to get mid and there's that Yasuo who wants to go mid, you either give way or risk having a singed/teemo running it down mid.
Man I was a Riven one trick for years, I eventually moved on to other champs when she started to fall out of meta and I'm currently a Camille main. Though I play the game a lot less now this video made we want to pick up Riven again.
From Yasuo main (up to 60k) to Vayne(up to 140k) to a Riven main(up to 55k, but about this much time into reading guides and build, and animation cancelling) and now a Draven main(currently). I have always loved these champions and I really don't like people who trashtalk about them - being toxic and unskillful is the player, not the champion. I have always adored these types of carry style(although supports are also enjoyable, and the best carries in the whole game). Whenever the role or the champion, they are all fine and just can't stop fighting for their place in the meta. But you, Exil and all of the editors and producers, are really determined to play Riven. I can confirm, this champion is absolutely amazing and all of those skill cancel-animations are pretty cool to see in a matchmade game. You are part of the reason(~70%) why this "toxic champ, that turns the player into a diamond smurf" is still so appealing to me. Your guides, thoughts, videos and all of those hours on this champion, one of the 141 champions (06.2018), really made my Riven and overall League experience better and got me into really deep analyses and thoughts about the game. This video is no exception. I understood so much about the precious meta and picks. These types of things got me even more into the game's and in particular - Riven's history. Thank you for being so determined with Riven, Sincerely "a diamond smurf"(a.k.a. a not so silver player hahaha, Lolof is just a pseudonym by the way)
I had so much feelings while watching this video. I love the champion, she gaves me so many hours of fun since season 1, so many memories that makes me feel very emocional. Great video. ❤
This champ... I was never good at playing her and never put in the effort to learn her properly, but she will always have a soft spot because she was the first champion released when I started playing league of legends.
Exil, u were the reason i started to play riven, even lost games havent stopped me, right now im not the best riven, but in high platin im to good right now, thanks for all buddy! btw im german, so my english sucks, hehe :3
Nice video, I remember the week riven came out, I put in something like 50 games with her that week! I played a shit ton of jungle and even went top lane. Tried out support riven since she was so good at bullying early game. This video reminded me how much I liked some of the LoL characters, despite not playing LoL since 2014.
Exil and I honestly mean this haha, whenever my friends ask why I play basically only riven I always tell them that playing her is the most fun to me :) just such a fun kit
I think Riven is the least fun champion in league. All she does is CC locks and nukes enemies around herself, then walks away full hp because of her shield. She is a 1v0 or a PvE champion. Minions have more counterplay than Riven so her opponents can just go afk and have more fun that way.
Domasiukas I get your point, but to be fair, her cc both 3rd q and w only last 0.75 secs I think and the shield has to be quite well timed but yes there is a lot of potential for own playstyles. The mobility, utility and survivability make her fun to me and I think that by she isnt op by any means. You have to be quite a decent Riven player to make the most of her kit and you get shit on by many tanks.
The real problem with riven is this : you NEED to train with her . All other champ you can do fairly well and be in the top 20% without as much as trying . Other champ got mechanics that require you to press a button or position yourself but fairly easy to get , riven mechanics require you to pump out the APM and if she is just balanced tif you do. You have on one end someone chilling and someone putting a lot of effort doing similar stuff. That the reason riven are though to be toxic : you NEED to give 200% of what the enemy is doing to even achieve standard play and that taxing.(Compare games played % win rate of riven , renekton and garen) In terms of reward per effort riven is the worst champ (except maybe some support) and with the release of so much new champ with high reward mediocre effort (the new one just being: having the good gun on hand) .It's the reason why riven have fallen out of play : she is fun but require to much to reliably win.
Riven has been one of those champs Ive always looked at in envy. Flashy playstyle, deep mastery curve, and cool lore. Sometimes I wonder if back in season three, when was making my choice for my main role. If should of picked top instead of support. Either way great vid Exil. It is always good to look back and see where we came from so may better understand whats happening in the present and future.
this is not at all meant as a brag as i dont even play the game anymore and im 100% confident theres tons of rivens that could trash me nowadays. buuuuut if animation canceling on riven really wasnt discovered by the community at large until faker then i finally figured out why i was one of the best rivens in the world from seasons 2-4. i was doing the fast combo since maybe 2 weeks after her initial release and didnt even really realize i was doing it or doing anything out of ordinary. clicking the ground and then back on the champion quickly while comboing just felt right to me straight from the git go, i didnt even know i was effectively performing a glitch. also im not nieve enough to think faker saw me and actually stole it from me but i matched up against Regi's Zed in solo que and countered him with riven months before the faker worlds fiasco. my phone blew up that day with all my friends msging me "FAKER IS STEALING YOUR GIMMICK IN WORLDS!!!!" good times
Nice story. Nobody used fastQ anywhere near 2 weeks of release, say 2 months at least to make it believable. I checked out your channel and based off your amount of games over multiple seasons I'm assuming that's your main account. I've never heard of anyone named Josh1735, and the best Riven player in the world who was facing vs mid gods at the time like Reginald would have certainly left an impact. The community was much smaller at the time so if he got trashed in lane by some troll pick like Riven, there would be some references to it somewhere, and your name would have at least popped up. Also, a player who is matching vs Regi in soloQ would probably not end the next season P5. Pretty sick ego stroke there, but at least attempt to hide the truth smh.
i ended all but that season either P5 and even in some G5 because i had stopped caring at that point. it wasnt a got P5 and couldnt push further it was got P5 then started playing normals with friends because the game didnt mattter to me anymore. i dont need you to believe me, havent opened the game in half a year and havent played more than a couple casual normals with friends for probably near 3-4 years now. whenever season 5 ended. riven was not a troll pick the first time i ever picked it nobody had a cross word to say about it and i did it because we needed AD not because i was riven or bust. and you certainly would not have heard of some random solo que player matching against reginald 1 time you dipshit..... i also faced dyrus and chaox once each and even absolutely destroyed dyrus on his main at the time in singed. chaox killed my dreams with teemo but we dont talk about that =( im sure you never heard of those either, they happened stupid. you have it in your head this post was about some kind of clout. as i said in the post and ill say it again here. have not played league seriously in literally years and im 100% positive theres plenty of rivens that could absolutely humiliate me nowadays much less beat me. but weather you want to believe it or not i was accidentally doing the fast combo before anybody knew about it and without even knowing i was doing anything special. the fast combo isnt some super special hard to pull off mouse movement, im sure im not even the only 1 that was accidentally using it that early on. the movement for the fast combo is basically how you should be playing any melee champ anyways to maximize your movement in between attacks, from there its just being fast about it and walah, you have the fast combo. and to the people asking my user its Josh1735 but you wont find anything other than what captain dickhead up there did. P5 most seasons because i got P5 then would stop playing ranked and have not played save for a couple normal games dicking around with friends in literally years. the story happened and im not seeking any kind of clout from this im sure 90% of you could crush me nowdays, hell i dont even know what riven builds anymore. this post was simply me reminiscing about the good ol times when i was head first into league and the LCS and everything else. my record vs TSM players was 2-1. Crushed regi mid Riven vs Zed Crushed dyrone top Riven vs Singed and Chaox legitimately made me want to AFK top Riven vs Teemo (he picked it into me i dont have a death wish)
"why i was one of the best rivens in the world from seasons 2-4" I mean you put yourself on the same level as LMK, Faker, The Shy, Boxbox, who were all at that time literally gods on Riven. You should expect some backlash lol

Darn you Exil! I had forgotten brutalizer and i was living a happy life. Now I don't know how I'm gonna live anymore. :( Bring it back!
Well edited video
Good job
Exil: Eventually it was discovered who this player was.
Me: Who was it.
Exil: It was Faker.
Me:Of fu*king course, what was I expecting.

Bro I was thinking the same lol
10:20 "Players who you think should never in a milloin years play riven still did it because she was too strong"

Conq didn't exist at the time
Yea conq didnt exist during runes rework, people were playing riven aery lmao
@@qtfy it did not exist, reforged runes was released on patch 7.22, Conqueror was added on patch 8.6
That faker description at 14:50 tho..
"he's faker so he dodges the ulti anyway" lol

Honestly got goosebumps after the video ended. Such a well made video! Loved the Yasuo one as well. Plans for any other champs?
Sipee thank you so much Sipee wow and yes! Definitely going to make at least a few more of these
@Exil Make one for Rengar

great work btw

Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for this beautiful and nostalgic video :,)

As a retired Riven main, I'm still pissed at the removal of the Brutalizer.
Me too
Yooooooo, so much nostalgia. Thanks for this video
Tweetumsmultiput great to hear
With all the time and effort you put into this you could have made a video bashing Riot for not helping content creators enough while you continue to use their intellectual property without having to pay them anything and wonder why maybe they do not infact do more outside of the Creator Lab, features on the Client, contest, and Summoner's Showcase, etc when all people make is videos about quitting, the game being ruined, or dying ha-ha-ha
Or just not. And do this. Content. Which was SO GOOD. Man what a trip down memory lane! You-deserve-more-subs. To this day I still feel iffy on Serrated Dirk over Brutalizer, use to be a sick item on a Zap Max Jinx build back in the day. Really like the effort in this because if I am going to watch the WHOLE thing 100% it feels like every minute was not wasted learning something.
In conclusion, as much work as this is, I'd love to see this series continued!

Pour one out for TheShy

Exil and I honestly mean this haha, whenever my friends ask why I play basically only riven I always tell them that playing her is the most fun to me :) just such a fun kit
Same with yasuo
I think Riven is the least fun champion in league. All she does is CC locks and nukes enemies around herself, then walks away full hp because of her shield.
She is a 1v0 or a PvE champion. Minions have more counterplay than Riven so her opponents can just go afk and have more fun that way.
Domasiukas I get your point, but to be fair, her cc both 3rd q and w only last 0.75 secs I think and the shield has to be quite well timed but yes there is a lot of potential for own playstyles. The mobility, utility and survivability make her fun to me and I think that by she isnt op by any means. You have to be quite a decent Riven player to make the most of her kit and you get shit on by many tanks.
Before I watch this, WOW. All of these history vids have been just wow. I'm Speechless

JKTMS ayyy!!
One of the most entertaining and amazing video I have ever seen. Fantastic work Kellen keep it up
The real problem with riven is this : you NEED to train with her . All other champ you can do fairly well and be in the top 20% without as much as trying . Other champ got mechanics that require you to press a button or position yourself but fairly easy to get , riven mechanics require you to pump out the APM and if she is just balanced tif you do.
You have on one end someone chilling and someone putting a lot of effort doing similar stuff. That the reason riven are though to be toxic : you NEED to give 200% of what the enemy is doing to even achieve standard play and that taxing.(Compare games played % win rate of riven , renekton and garen)
In terms of reward per effort riven is the worst champ (except maybe some support) and with the release of so much new champ with high reward mediocre effort (the new one just being: having the good gun on hand) .It's the reason why riven have fallen out of play : she is fun but require to much to reliably win.
This was a really well put together video. Congratulations !
"A Sword Mirrors its Status" Its broken, Therefore she is broken.
That makes no sense.
Riven has been one of those champs Ive always looked at in envy. Flashy playstyle, deep mastery curve, and cool lore. Sometimes I wonder if back in season three, when was making my choice for my main role. If should of picked top instead of support. Either way great vid Exil. It is always good to look back and see where we came from so may better understand whats happening in the present and future.
Aaron Carraway Thank you Aaron I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the video :)

Fantastic video, thanks for making this!! :D
Ari Sweedler you're welcome haha I am happy you liked it
this is not at all meant as a brag as i dont even play the game anymore and im 100% confident theres tons of rivens that could trash me nowadays. buuuuut if animation canceling on riven really wasnt discovered by the community at large until faker then i finally figured out why i was one of the best rivens in the world from seasons 2-4. i was doing the fast combo since maybe 2 weeks after her initial release and didnt even really realize i was doing it or doing anything out of ordinary. clicking the ground and then back on the champion quickly while comboing just felt right to me straight from the git go, i didnt even know i was effectively performing a glitch.
also im not nieve enough to think faker saw me and actually stole it from me but i matched up against Regi's Zed in solo que and countered him with riven months before the faker worlds fiasco. my phone blew up that day with all my friends msging me "FAKER IS STEALING YOUR GIMMICK IN WORLDS!!!!"
good times
Sinciti League username?
Yea whats your username if you remember?
Nice story. Nobody used fastQ anywhere near 2 weeks of release, say 2 months at least to make it believable. I checked out your channel and based off your amount of games over multiple seasons I'm assuming that's your main account. I've never heard of anyone named Josh1735, and the best Riven player in the world who was facing vs mid gods at the time like Reginald would have certainly left an impact. The community was much smaller at the time so if he got trashed in lane by some troll pick like Riven, there would be some references to it somewhere, and your name would have at least popped up. Also, a player who is matching vs Regi in soloQ would probably not end the next season P5. Pretty sick ego stroke there, but at least attempt to hide the truth smh.
i ended all but that season either P5 and even in some G5 because i had stopped caring at that point. it wasnt a got P5 and couldnt push further it was got P5 then started playing normals with friends because the game didnt mattter to me anymore.
i dont need you to believe me, havent opened the game in half a year and havent played more than a couple casual normals with friends for probably near 3-4 years now. whenever season 5 ended.
riven was not a troll pick the first time i ever picked it nobody had a cross word to say about it and i did it because we needed AD not because i was riven or bust. and you certainly would not have heard of some random solo que player matching against reginald 1 time you dipshit..... i also faced dyrus and chaox once each and even absolutely destroyed dyrus on his main at the time in singed. chaox killed my dreams with teemo but we dont talk about that =(
im sure you never heard of those either, they happened stupid.
you have it in your head this post was about some kind of clout.
as i said in the post and ill say it again here. have not played league seriously in literally years and im 100% positive theres plenty of rivens that could absolutely humiliate me nowadays much less beat me.
but weather you want to believe it or not i was accidentally doing the fast combo before anybody knew about it and without even knowing i was doing anything special.
the fast combo isnt some super special hard to pull off mouse movement, im sure im not even the only 1 that was accidentally using it that early on. the movement for the fast combo is basically how you should be playing any melee champ anyways to maximize your movement in between attacks, from there its just being fast about it and walah, you have the fast combo.
and to the people asking my user its Josh1735 but you wont find anything other than what captain dickhead up there did. P5 most seasons because i got P5 then would stop playing ranked and have not played save for a couple normal games dicking around with friends in literally years.
the story happened and im not seeking any kind of clout from this im sure 90% of you could crush me nowdays, hell i dont even know what riven builds anymore. this post was simply me reminiscing about the good ol times when i was head first into league and the LCS and everything else.
my record vs TSM players was 2-1. Crushed regi mid Riven vs Zed Crushed dyrone top Riven vs Singed and Chaox legitimately made me want to AFK top Riven vs Teemo (he picked it into me i dont have a death wish)
"why i was one of the best rivens in the world from seasons 2-4" I mean you put yourself on the same level as LMK, Faker, The Shy, Boxbox, who were all at that time literally gods on Riven. You should expect some backlash lol
This was soo good! You made it like a documentary, frikin amazing. Keep it up man, you deserve more subs.
And this is what convinced me to become a riven main even if I'm awful, I look at it as a journey to master this complicated champ.
I've quit the game and miss the old times, but this does something to me. Great video!
17:17 "Brutalizer was such an effective item on Riven, giving her damage, cooldown reduction, AND attack damage"
Thanks for bringing back good old memories 2012-2018
Very well structured video! Enjoyed watching.
Complete history of rengar, he's another champion with a very interesting history or maybe shaco too. Amazing vid btw.
13:50 LOL not anymore I guess. Great video mate!
