Riven vs LeBlanc

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Riven should pressure LeBlanc early to deny her scaling and force her to farm under tower.
This is a snowball matchup where Riven aims to use cooldown sequencing and side-lane pressure to snowball leads.

Trading pattern

Trade with (E) shield plus (Q) and (W) combo when (W) is on cooldown or missed.
Avoid trading immediately after using all mobility and crowd control to prevent retaliation.
Use (R) after chipping LeBlanc to convert damage into lethal burst during all-in windows.

Danger windows

Be cautious when LeBlanc has all mobility and root available, especially with (W) and (E) ready.
Avoid committing without cooldown advantage, as LeBlanc can punish spent mobility or missed crowd control.
Track (R) availability and hold key defensive tools for her level 6 all-in threat.

Early game

Use level 1-3 to poke and trade short combos when LeBlanc's key cooldowns are down.
Avoid extended trades if you have spent (Q) and (E) mobility without cooldown advantage.
Push waves to force LeBlanc under tower and punish her low waveclear.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to increase burst and execute low-health targets; bait key cooldowns before committing.
First haste/damage item spike lets you threaten repeated trades and contest waves more aggressively.
Respect LeBlanc's level 2 burst combo; avoid giving her clean spacing or minion setup to engage.

Win conditions

Snowball by punishing LeBlanc's cooldowns with fast, clean combos and shielded trades.
Deny LeBlanc wave control to force her under tower and limit her roam or pick potential.
Use level 6 (R) windows and item spikes to secure kills and transition to side-lane pressure and skirmishes.

Tip: For Riven vs LeBlanc, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
