Riven.... Again.....

Sorin Alucard·Oct 10, 2016·1 votes·583 views

I've posted before about why I feel she is super unhealthy as a champion right now.

Now I'm seeing people take her jungle and absolutely destroy games. I've still yet to see a Riven be in a difficult position whilst winning or losing. In fact, I haven't seen a losing Riven top lane or jungle since I started these posts a few weeks ago. I personally haven't noticed an overall spike in her being spammed or anything, but its frustrating to see her get picked and I know its probably a loss. Her requirements to get way out of control are too minimal with very small windows for shut down and counter play. She has too much feast to say there's a fair famine factor. please nerf.

There's been a recent unintended byproduct of the autoattack system change which lets Riven do her fast combo much faster and easier, aka, reduces difficulty tremendously. Riot said they're looking into it. Why Riven's not disabled, I dunno.

She's fine otherwise.

This.

Except I'd like to say that it lets her do her old fast combo very, very easily (Annie skill level equivalent), and with actual skill her new combo is much, much, faster.

A Riven can easily snowball, its true.

Her lvl 1 first blood usually sets the stage.

Many top laners that are melee do not have the tankiness from lvl1 to duel her.

Riven is mediocre at best when she is even or worse, behind.

If people would stop thinking they are the one who will finally defeat the Riven menace and try to duel her 1v1 in the early game, she wouldn't snowball so hard.

4 dash spells, 4 AOE dmg spells, 2 AOE stun spells, 1 AOE excute spells and 1 shield SCALING WITH ATTACK DMG. Nerf of course.

However, if you nerf her numbers, she becomes weak and disappearing from pro matches. If you buff her numbers, she becomes broken and everywhere. What's the worst? Even if you nerf her numbers, once she get items, she's broken again. No way to stay balanced.

If you nerf her mechanism, this game becomes boring. Like Azir, became a totally farmer in laning face, having no knock up against assassins, and still a teamfight god. If you rework her, she might become another broken shit like Fiora. Is Fiora's W skillful and fun? Hehe, are you kidding me.

Why can't you update those awkward champions that can never beat Riven without a flash to dodge her ult? Why can't you find a solution(items, spells or whatever) for ppl to fight against Riven's E flash WR instant kill?

(Also. I'm a Zed main. But I still don't understand why you removed Qss against Zed's ult? You said you are going to provide ppl methods to fight back against assassins. Removing Qss is not a good way.)
