How to Play This Matchup
Mid-Game Showdown
Both champions spike around the same time. The player who gets their first item faster wins. Focus on CS leads and smart trades to build an advantage before the mid-game.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Sustained vs Burst
Riven wants to combo and disengage. Yasuo wins extended trades. Don't let Riven get a clean rotation  force long fights where sustain wins.
Exploit Yasuo's Weakness
Yasuo's main weakness: Hard CC, burst before windwall, 0/10 powerspike is a meme. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Yasuo Win Condition
Windwall key abilities, stack Q tornado, R off knockups
Riven Win Condition
Animation cancel combos, snowball lane, splitpush or teamfight
