FULL MECHANIC LAB
RIVEN LABSee how Riven players use Q, weave autos, manage passive stacks, move through fights, and turn lane leads into wins.
Compare timing, weaving, movement, and passive use across ranked players. Open any metric to see exactly what it counts.
121 players across 395 eligible replays in 10 ranks.
Curves show observed player distributions. Anything the AI could not see in the replay is unavailable, never scored as zero.Based on 1,343 reviewed replays from 182 rank-verified Riven players. These are patterns, not proof that one mechanic causes a player to climb.
Every value comes from timestamped replay actions. Choose a mechanic to compare ranked players. Shield value and R2 margin stay unavailable until Manalytics can see them reliably.
Real player-level distributions from 604 ranked games across 81 verified Riven top players. Each player contributes one multi-game average, preventing prolific players from dominating the curves.

The curves show how real player averages are distributed. Extreme values are trimmed from the chart edges for readability, but every player still counts in the rank averages below.

Each metric states its numerator, denominator, exclusions, and the replay evidence it needs before it is published.
See what matters, when it matters, and one drill to take into your next game.
Measure each Q → attack gap, movement-command timing, target continuity, and the complete three-Q cycle. Speed only counts when the attack lands.
Every eligible gap is classified as completed, late, cancelled, or missing. This separates useful speed from damage thrown away.
Track stacks generated, consumed, overwritten, and expired. The AI must reliably see the buff and empowered attack in the replay before this score is published.
Evaluate the sequence as a purposeful burst pattern—not as a party trick. Target access, follow-up, and exit state determine whether it was correct.
A useful shield absorbs committed damage or enables a favorable action. Shield value remains unavailable when the AI cannot clearly see shield state in the replay.
R1 should increase the value of the upcoming window. R2 is judged by execute opportunity, hit quality, delay, and overkill—not kill count alone.
Lane ruleShort entries; never donate the extended return trade.
Best windowPunish missed outer Q or E. Preserve a disengage charge.
Watchretaliation exposure · Q used for exit · post-trade HP
Lane ruleRespect rage and separate survival from contesting every minion.
Best windowTrade after empowered cooldowns and when the wave protects your exit.
Watchcannon defense · E timing · deaths from avoidable lane state
Lane ruleBreak passive safely and avoid spending the full kit into W.
Best windowTake compact trades after W or when Q is unavailable.
Watchtrade duration · passive stacks realized · cooldown efficiency
Lane ruleChange Q3 and W timing; predictable CC is a liability.
Best windowPressure after parry while protecting the retreat line.

Lane ruleHealth is the resource that buys your all-in window.
Best windowUse wave geometry and punish ranged cooldown commitment.
WatchCS opportunity conversion · poke absorbed · first-impact timing
Lane ruleDo not confuse harmless contact with a winning trade.

Best when Riven can stay in range for repeated spell rotations. Change course when the lane denies long trades or the enemy team demands an earlier defensive item.
Coaching guidance · check the current patchYour item should help you reach a target, survive, pressure side lane, hit a burst threshold, or cast more often. Popularity alone is not a reason to buy it.
Game-plan guidanceWe will publish item comparisons after there are enough similar games by matchup, rank, patch, role, and game state.
Not enough evidence yetThe goal is to stop negative momentum, not immediately erase the deficit. Protect the next guaranteed resource, reduce isolated exposure, and make your next spend before contesting.
See the matching mechanicConvert pressure into denied options: controlled wave, safe plate window, invade timing, or reset. A lead is not permission to take every available fight.
See the matching mechanicTrack who can answer, what objective spawns, and whether your mobility is buying pressure or merely moving you farther from impact.
See the matching mechanicJudge entry by time to first impact, CC received before impact, target access, combo completion, and whether an exit still exists.
See the matching mechanicStrong signals have enough players and repeat across similar games. Early patterns stay labeled, and missing information stays unavailable.
Each Riven mechanic has one clear counting rule so scores mean the same thing over time.
Your percentile uses rank, matchup, patch, and role when enough games are available.
