Dude never seen better educational videos for Riven GG WP

[@AloisNL]

Thanks for that comment man, super motivating!

[@MaidEfe]

love it keep these matchup guides up. very in depth and what we need

[@nhanle9218]

I LOVE how detail you are ! Got a new sub! As a riven main... I struggled with this match up at high silver..ty

[@xrpmxwix7932]

thanks for the darius guide! :D

[@AloisNL]

Me and my Editor literally made this because of your comment in the last vid, hoped you liked it!

[@subcombo]

What advantage does the in-game chat at 02:33 give? Just kidding, great content thank you.

[@AloisNL]

Nothing, i was angy man after I think -+ 5 losses🤦‍♂

[@AloisNL]

We're testing to see if it's better to have music in the background or not, let me know if it was distracting or a nice add!

[@subcombo]

It's good :)

[@amfyr]

Watching this in loading screen is when you really start paying attention to what hes saying. Thank you for solid guide

[@RivenBadChamp]

thank you mister Alois you're the goat

[@AloisNL]

no you

[@quentinlauterbach]

keep it comming i think riven has a lot of interesting matchups! :D

[@normandong9782]

used this guide to go 13-0. ty alois

[@kodaofthelunari9165]

fantastic educative material on all of these, especially the darius matchup feels so incredibly scary, it feels like one misstep and he dominates the lane and denies my farming options instantly, I'll do my best to use your info!

[@Alalpog]

whenever I match against a Darius during champ select, I always rush to watch this video.

[@hugodreano8297]

Really well explained but darius never play flash tp they always play flash ghost and this isnt the same story

[@salvationsc4803]

What would you do if Darius walks with the wave, gets prio and does a 3 wave crash, making the wave bounce back to him when his jungler paths top? Do you try to contest with your life or do you just insta lose the lane?

[@Zano_nl]

Great guide! Keep it up !

[@DarkKnightGms]

Great quality tutorial 🫡

[@venapod3509]

great guide, but whats if darius have ghost can you do a lane matchup were he has ghost. cause i think it gets more scarier when darius have ghost. great guide keep it up.

[@AloisNL]

I will do same matchup with ghost when I verse it, yes

thanks for upload!

[@aleksa1696]

watcthing this and seeing how much alois has grown both in quality of the content he makes and as a player is so amazing

[@clubstep8244]

One of the funniest Riven match ups. Its really easy when you get used to it

[@fretox9336]

i never get prio in this matchup i always feel like if darius has ghost and starts W there is nothing you can do if u walk up to the wave in most of my cases he will just pop ghost and run me down to tower what should i do differently?

[@061zapolinariosgobi9]

Insane content, keep it up

[@Kadii18_]

more vids pls

[@FuseiYudo21]

never seen a darius start q and take tp in my entire life

[@xKernNie]

You watch this then lane vs a Darius walking with the wave & starting W.

[@Jojifans]

Hey Alois, I have a question about Darius trading pattern. When he pulls riven, his e has an airborne for 1 second, and his q has a 0.75 wind up. Most of the darius players I go against in my elo uses their EQ very often to guarantee sustain and prio. What should I do in this scenario?

[@AloisNL]

If he e and Q's instantly after, you should have a split second of time to E inwards or EQ outwards (depending on his movement) and getting out, it's just veru important to try and have most of your abilities up if he ever pulls you

[@Jojifans]

@@AloisNL Ooooh okay. That's something new I never know! Thank you!

[@manuelherrera357]

i think darius with ghost is much more of a problem

[@bkz1667]

Depends which skill he learned first and how good you are in terms of spacing and level up timers. Skill matchup

[@D3J4NN]

my goat

[@motherfuckingagorithimcomm6136]

yo what if he starts w with ghost

[@Lolok725]

If you let him get like 2 autos off, hes gonna press ghost and just run at you and stack his passive and you'll just die. You have to respect Darius level 1.

[@elven6148]

Did the ghost darius version come out yet? can't find it

[@davidpascoal6786]

Since I'm kind of an experienced Riven player this is all pretty basic to me... Except the W to cancel auto, I think I do it instinctively but never really tought about it! Nice video mate 👏😉

[@AloisNL]

Thank you man!

[@lukkkasz323]

so to win you basically need a Darius with TP, going in first Q into Riven, haha

[@lowkeygaming1860]

basically darius doesnt have ghost which makes this matchup 10 times easier.

[@AloisNL]

You think he wouldve beaten me on the all in windows if he had ghost? OR any trade timers where he couldve used his ghost?

[@lowkeygaming1860]

so I am master Darius player, not exactly as good as your rank obviously. but in general if he has ghost he has more freedom on how he can use his E. without ghost he is forced to open with E to trade back. for example early in the video when you q3 on him with his bone plating up, he has 6 second window to punish you. if he has ghost up he can save his E for after your E on your retreat. without ghost you can freely short trade like you did in the video

[@AloisNL]

@@lowkeygaming1860 Fair points, will try and revisit this guide once I get a better video against a Darius with Ghost. I do still think all the concepts I covered were usefull, same on how to approach any trade or all ins. I think at level 3, even if he has ghost, I will probably win here, as I do have flash aswell

[@lowkeygaming1860]

@@AloisNL Your tips are very informative and I like how you explain each interaction. They are good tips for laning regardless of the matchup. I just didn't like how it may give a false sense of this particular matchup to newer players since Darius 99% of the time runs ghost. yes I agree in the level 3 as long as you dodge his Q you will win. But with ghost he can flash to reposition his Q, and then run back in with the movement speed. I think Darius wins if he is able to use his 5 stack bleed (which requires hitting Q) effectively by kiting with ghost and his longer auto range.

8:33 "now we get a betch mother ... "YEP

[@pedrinbalafina4122]

I mean, I was Ok against this darius this match I died 6 times in the game because he got a double kill in the early and I survived with only 2 deaths in the laning phase with 8cs per minute, it's gold after all, buuuut he ended the game pretty fast because by the time I died 4 more times he already had 15 kills 2 drakes 3 items and a bunch of turrets, overall I played it nicely, got 2 kills, died way less then expected from a darius half item ahead, got 3 turrets by myself, was only 1 item behind him and 8cs per minute, I mean It's allright. Right?

[@TheMajorPrince]

in a first trade when he has no q if he had ghost he does that and u dead

[@velkozgames4822]

i dont know how can you lose darius or aatrox matchup, like theres no scenario thats happening if u play riven properly. nice video tho, all the tight points :)

[@thePragma]

Wow

[@trontogaming4330]

nice vid but idk i think you should have used a match where darius played ghost

[@AloisNL]

fair point ye

[@Stefan-lx9dz]

And then people say darius beats riven, while there is tons of Videos like this where darius gets beaten SO easily Yeye i see, darius beats riven kekw

I just lost to darius. Guess I am just bad.

Keep practicing, even I lose it sometimes!

[@chovygap7335]

@@AloisNL so much for "NEVER" the Darius Riven matchup then. Shit tier clickbait

[@Arystofiles]

Darius 0/3 still can beat you ez

[@Gilleto]

dude u won because the darius was stupid enough to not pick up ghost and kite you. If both Riven and the Darius are really good mechanically, you can never guarantee to win vs Darius, it will always be really close (in slight favor of Darius imo)

[@JuanGarcia-oi1yx]

Hmm I'd say in favor of riven if she's good. Most of darius damage comes from his outer Q, if that's denied Riven has enough damage to pop him before he can get 5 stacks

[@AloisNL]

I get your point, but this arguement can be used for everything then "if both players play correctly nothing happens" The whole point is to show Darius weaknesses, and also to see show you can setup all in windows, and force mistakes.

[@dinar4331]

@@AloisNL idk if people are watching the same video if they think ghost would have prevented those trades and the kill lmao. very good content man, don't even play riven but learned a lot
