Riven's Going To Be Broken Next Patch

Noraver·Jan 19, 2015·3 votes·670 views

Calling it now. With the mana nerfs, her low-cooldown, mobility, 100% offensive item builds will turn her into the most oppressive top laner since Lulu showed her face up there. Being able to reset her animations was what separated good Rivens from great Rivens, but now that they're actually letting EVERYONE do it, AND make it happen faster, I don't think any other melee champions will be able to stand up to her anymore.

So yeah, I'm going to start banning her next patch. Don't know about the rest of you, but I don't see how any mana-using melee champions will be able to hold their own against her. Hell, I don't think very many ranged champions will be able to hold their own for very long either.

I don't think Riot is stupid enough to go through with this "buff".

I'm pretty sure they are. They said it had something to do with the Over lapping CC problem that they where trying to fix. It's possible that this is Inadvertent and unavoidable. And Frankly, She should not be balanced around bad controls.
