Don't think they can really lower her health regen anymore; it's already .66 a second to begin with, and only scales to 2.36 a second. The shield nerf could happen, but I'd bet they'd rather increase the cooldown then make the shield even more clutch.

They're going to get rid of her animation cancelling.

They had to disable her because she animation-cancelled the recall animation and could recall instantly. Unless they manage to come up with a fix for that which doesn't mess up a bunch of other stuff, they'll probably have to just do away with animation cancelling on her entirely - which will obviously be a nerf.

If that does happen, I feel really sorry for all of the diamond+ riven mains out there (anyone at lower elo probably hasn't put in hundreds of hours practicing the animation cancelling).

If you feel sorry for Riven mains, then you should die because of sadness for Elise mains.

I have a low threshold to feeling bad for someone, but a very high threshold before i care enough to do anything about it - let alone die :p
