Riven

Figures on this page are from League of Legends patch 16.18.1.

The win, pick, and ban rate figures here are a third-party League of Legends statistics provider's aggregation of match data that originates with Riot Games — Riot doesn't itself publish win-rate statistics. See how it works for the method, including the per-tier noise-width (σ) calibration Should I Dodge publishes on top of that raw data — how far a rate actually sits from meaningless, not something the provider itself measures.

Riot's own handcrafted 1-10 designer ratings, not measured gameplay stats.

Role	Win Rate	Pick Rate
Top	47.3%	1.8%

About 0.8% of games at this tier see Riven banned before anyone even picks a role — one number for the whole champion, not something that genuinely differs lane to lane. It's shown here alongside Riven's Top numbers, the highest-pick-rate role, purely because that's the row this page leads with. Why isn't this broken down by role?

Riven's Top win rate is 2.7 percentage points below an even 50% — Should I Dodge's win-probability model varies by about 4.8 percentage points of standard deviation from lobby to lobby across all ranks, purely from which champions get drawn, so this gap is smaller than that noise, not solid evidence the champion is unusually strong or weak right now.

Riven is tracked in exactly one role at this tier scope, Top — so there's no ambiguity below about which lane the rest of this page's per-tier, threat, and counters reporting describes.

Riven's Top Win Rate By Tier

Tier	Win Rate	Pick Rate	Edge (noise-widths)	Clears 0.5σ?
Iron	42.4%	1.3%	1.00σ	Yes
Bronze	44.4%	1.3%	0.93σ	Yes
Silver	45.1%	1.5%	0.84σ	Yes
Gold	46.6%	1.7%	0.62σ	Yes
Platinum	47.8%	1.9%	0.45σ	No
Emerald	49.1%	2.1%	0.19σ	No
Diamond	49.4%	2.4%	0.15σ	No
Master	50.1%	2.5%	0.02σ	No
Grandmaster	48.5%	2.4%	0.20σ	No
Challenger	52.8%	4.0%	0.23σ	No

Riven's Top win rate ranges from 42.4% at Iron to 52.8% at Challenger across the 10 of 10 ranked tiers with published data for this role — a 10.4-point spread. Measured against each tier's own noise floor, that's 0.23σ at Challenger and 1.00σ at Iron, with only the Iron figure clearing the 0.5σ bar Should I Dodge itself requires before calling a reading anything but Neutral. See how noise-widths are calculated and what they mean for each rank.

Should I Dodge's curated read has Riven's power curve as an early-game lean — a community-consensus judgment about where the champion's power peaks, not measured win-rate-by-duration data (the stats source doesn't publish that).

Riven's kit doesn't flag any of the seven threats Should I Dodge tracks for counter-building — healing, hard crowd control, burst, poke, sustained auto-attack damage, shielding, stealth — and that's a real verdict, not a gap in the table.

Should I Dodge maintains Riven's scaling lean and kit-threat reads above by hand, one champion at a time, across the whole roster — not generated from the win-rate numbers on this page, and not refreshed automatically when those numbers move.
