Guide to Synergizing Qiyana and Riven

Advice to Understand How Riven Will Play

Riven lacks a source of healing or strong defense and must compensate with burst combos. Lead into fights with Broken Wings and Ki Burst, while using Valor to escape and absorb counter-harass.

Riven's Broken Wings locks onto the champion your cursor is over at the time of cast. If you want to move past your opponent, make sure that your cursor is past your opponent as well.

Overall, Qiyana sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Riven. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This difference may signal that Riven does not provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Qiyana is played with Riven on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Riven.

Additionally, when Qiyana plays with Riven on the same team, she typically takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Riven does a decent job of protecting Qiyana in team fights.

Is Qiyana better when played alongside Riven?

There is no one best synergy for Qiyana that will no matter what be her #1 ally. However, Riven is a very typical teammate for Qiyana. By locking into the same team as Qiyana, she drops their win rate by -0.8% to 47.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Qiyana and Riven that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Riven has a lower difficulty than Qiyana. That means Qiyana players don't need to be careful when lining up Riven allies to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by aligning Qiyana and Riven together, you probably will not be providing your team a great deal of magic damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Riven teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
