Or can Evelynn actually trade with her? No right?

eve can poke at slightly longer range with Q than riven can engage with EW.

Riven can of course add in some Q's of her own to close all the way, but...

if eve plays safe, you won't kill her and she wont kill you not to mention she can spam hate spike and get away with her speed boost, so she actually might have an advantage

in a direct trade, riven will win, no question about it, but eve can probably just play the lane safe

riven will crush eve

Riven destroys eve normally. But eve can outplay. (it's based more on riven making mistakes than eve being good though)

I had to fight Riven mid with Eve recently. While she never killed me on her own, her lack of a resource let her push much harder and she ended up stealing our wraiths/getting her own and ended up outfarming me by a lot, simply because I can't push hard enough without running oom.

Ok, I guess I will give it a try when they pick Eve mid.

malz ruins all the fotm mids, try him instead.
