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
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!!
This video is SO well-made and informative. Like unbelievably so. This is a standard that other league of legends RUclipsrs should strive for in quality. WELL DONE!!!
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.
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
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.
""...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
I have no idea why you don’t have so many more subs. I’ve been subbed for a while and have since moved on from Riven, and I can understand why at first you didn’t get a ton of subs (if you focus your channel on one champ specifically your viewerbase is gonna be smaller). But like now in the past year you’ve made these crazy vids with an insane amount of professionalism in them. Super interesting as well. I hope your channel blows up even more and people flock to see your hard work. Keep it up Exil!
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
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
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.
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. ❤
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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)
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 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.

Bro I was thinking the same lol
"Except Precision, Precision is trash on riven"
Conqueror wants to know your location
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
10:20 "Players who you think should never in a milloin years play riven still did it because she was too strong"
Shows Pants are Dragon meanwhile LOL
instantly looked if someone already commented that LMAO
yea hahah fcking great i saw nightblue try it once it was horrible^^

Huqzh thank you :)!
Honestly got goosebumps after the video ended. Such a well made video! Loved the Yasuo one as well. Plans for any other champs?

Me too
what a work you had done. thumbs up. thanks for the presentation. :D

> BoxBox as the high elo Riven
> Viper as inting Riven
hmm
Metroid >TheShy as the riven who stop playing riven and cut his hand costing his team to lose in playoffs
Back in the day that’s how it was. Now things are reversed.
Pour one out for TheShy
and now he is a season 8 world champion glad he broke out of his riven shell

Broken sword, broken wings.

facu1197 thank you I am so glad you loved it
Yasuo is basically the new Riven as far as reputation goes.
Personally I find yasuo mains less toxic than rivens. Rivens tend to rage quit more in my experience
@@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.
@@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904 well there's also more yasuo players so there's a bigger sample size;)
@@tbone9474 should be. The ratio of yasup players that I played with or against is 3:1 compared to riven players..
Thanks for the video, learned a ton. Every minute i spent watching this video was not wasted! Hope i see more content like this from you soon!
Really nice video tho i dont even wanna know how much work you put into this video...
Goku A lot of time hahah I am glad you enjoyed it
I think this is my favorite riven content i ever watched.
Im so hyped for being a riven main right now
a masterpiece
Hex PLAYS Mastapiece!!!
Exil unlike the aatrox rework, which is a trashterpiece (^:
13:50 LOL not anymore I guess. Great video mate!
Riven is the only champion I hope Riot never re-works
Tbh her kit has remained good enough in the meta to make her a common presence in the top lane
I appreciate you mentioning my boy Stonewall. Liked.

A really nice video of you. Even though i'm not playing league anymore i loved riven and played her for 5 seasons and this story was really good made.
number one reason why we play riven:
SHE'S FUN
