When is Riven going to be fixed?

There's no excuse for the state Riven is in. A mentally handicapped chimp is able to play Riven, feed, and then win by flashing into a carry and killing it in 2-3 seconds.

I just had a game where I destroyed Riven in lane as Cassiopeia, one of the hardest scaling carries in the game. Riven kept ulting and failing to get in range of me, or trying to Q into me, but failing and taking a lot of damage for it. I killed it four times. It killed me once with a flash combo from 100% at level 6, and missed two flash combos after that.

In a team fight, it tried to chase me down, and I kited it and brought it to 70% health. It then backed off and our Thresh hooked it. I went in for the kill. Once hook was over, it flashed into me. I flashed away before it stunned, and ulted it in the face and kept tunneling damage. It got out of my ult at 30% health and killed me with 15-20% health left, and Thresh coincidentally died just from AoE damage, as he tried to flay it off of me. I was sitting at 2.7k health with an Armguard and Revolver. Riven only had Hydra, Maw, and a Ghostblade without the active.

This isn't okay. Once upon a time, players were punished for playing poorly. Riven prevents that from happening, and often even rewards bad play by turning lack of awareness into a double kill when something tries to gank her.

Hydra, maw, and ghost blade? Those are 3 fully built items vs your 1 full item and half an item. How did she make 2x the amount of items as you if you were wrecking her in lane? Did she out farm you massively or something?

Edit: did the math, her items total 9,200 gold, whereas your items total at 4,400 gold. She had double your gold and you expect to win???

How can you cry about riven while jokes like akali and fizz exist ? + How could she have like double your gold if you ''rekt'' her in lane ?

Me thinks Riven was more fed than you.

I blame Thresh.

A good riven is actually a nightmare to deal with. I was malphite, had 3 levels and 2 kills on their riven from our jungler, had an iceborn and a bunch of armor and yet she could still take out a big chunk of my health in one trade.

So riven with 3 items can kill 2 squishy targets without armor. That's interesting. Anyway how could u kill her 4 times when she finished with 3 deaths?
