Skill-based matchup: Identical KDA (1.90) with 52.5% win rate indicates that macro play, team coordination, and clutch moments determine outcomes more than individual mechanics.

Key aspects of the Riven Top versus Dr. Mundo Top matchup

Riven tips:

  • 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.
  • 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.

Playing Against Dr. Mundo

  • Try to coordinate high-damage abilities with your allies right after Dr. Mundo uses his ultimate, but if you're unable to kill him quickly with burst he will heal through the damage.
  • Try casting Ignite when Dr. Mundo uses Sadism to negate a large portion of its healing.
