I think Riven is a very fun champion. Mostly nostalgic, because there is no way after her nerfs shes gonna be as good as she used to be. I think she needs to be buffed because champions like poppy and fiora exist. Both are stronger and easier to play, and i feel that if a champion like riven that takes more skill, should have more reward. if anyone agrees, let's get riot to notice that she needs a buff.

"Riven is fine right now" is board speak for "Riven is weak enough that I can consistently win against her".
Shes actually pretty good at her current state. Snowball champion that she is. You either get smashed and stay smashed or you are good and can out play everyone. I suggest watching boxbox's indepth video guide on riven. Might help you understand more.
Just wait till the meta favors her, if she was buffed now, when the meta would normally favor she'll be so strong and get gutted. Now that doesn't sound like a bad idea to me, however I'm sure you and a lot of others wouldnt be too happy about that.
Riven is pretty well balanced at the moment I don't see why she'd need a buff. She requires no mana, has a free shield, dashes, knock up, and a stun what more could you want? does a champion have to be broken for you to find it playable? How about you get better at her and learn to use her cc well to your advantage? I'll agree that both poppy and fiora are pretty broken at the moment but so are several other champions yet you don't see anybody else asking for buffs to their main
She does not need buffs, if you are good enough with her she can stomp a fiora and be fine against a poppy. If Riot buffed her she would be insane
