My husband is thinking of getting Riven. He's our team's dedicated top, but so far he mostly plays mages (favoring Rumble). Udyr is his only AD bruiser and he gets kited too hard.

I only get to play AP Soraka in ARAMs because nobody likes you in solo queue if you take her mid. :P I do dominate those ARAM games where I get Soraka though! And I love her new in-game models! Warding is just a matter of experience. I've learned the best places to ward against different junglers. Shaco/Rengar require bush wards, while less sneaky junglers like Nunu or Cho you can get by with a ward right on the corner by the dragon pit. If I'm feeling like I want to be really safe and really nice, I put a ward in river so I can see both dragon and the exit to purple's blue buff, and one in the tribush. Late game, I ward the wraith ramps, the wraith bush, dragon/baron, and red/blue buffs. If we're pushed into our base, I put wards right outside the walls and slowly ward bushes outward, only going where I have vision.
