Quick and easy Riven balance help.

I've gotten used to dying to riven because she does insane damage and has great chase. That's just part of the game at this point and I don't expect it to go away, but why is she allowed to run away just as well as initiate? I'm glad they nerfed her movespeed, and I will have to wait and see how much that changes her, but I think the main problem is it's too hard to punish riven.


My idea would be to just drop the dash on her shield, and add on a couple seconds to the duration. That way she still gets to negate some damage after she jumps on you early game, but she won't be impossible to punish as a melee champ. It will provide that much wanted counterplay opportunity to riven I've always wanted.

__- Note: I'm not complaining about riven, but I don't think that a bruiser should be able to play like an assassin. It's annoying.

I am still trying to understand the whole bruiser thing tag to her. What about her makes her bruiser?

80 Armor+ 50MR+2.2k health = bruiser.

I just wish she got nerfed a bit more but I guess this will suffice. Like seriously, last match that I had an enemy Riven ended with her fed getting more than half the enemy kills and almost the same amount as my team kills to the point we all had to focus her to finally kill with maybe only 1 of us dying still AND THEN we could freely take out everyone else and push.

Wasn't my lane opponent. I was mid, Gnar was top against her. Still when she did gank me, I was surrounded from all sides.
