Jar Jar binks l··2 votes·969 views

Master + 56,6% Winrate Diamond+ 53,1% Platinum+ 51,4% Gold+ 50,4%

All this Winrates are coupled with high Pickrates ( most picked Toplaner)

Even in Low elo , she has a 50%+ Winrate. Gut her, stop with favouroutism! A high Skilled Champion shouldnt have 50%+ Winrate in low Elo , which suggest she is completly broken

While I agree Riven should receive a slight nerf, she is not a difficult champion to play.
