How to play it

✓

Catch her Q3

After 6 you only win the all-in if you E her Q3: otherwise she just dodges your Q with one of her abilities.

✓

Punish her early

Short-trade and out-sustain her early, then ask for ganks: most Rivens don't run Flash, so early is her weakness.

✓

E + Q to land it

Hold your Q as long as possible, then E + Q her to guarantee it hits: thrown raw, she just dodges it.

✕

Never throw your Q raw at her: she dodges it with a dash; always E + Q so it's guaranteed to land.
