The Riven changes - Riot finally giving in to whining kids
Riven is losing her assassin attribute for a more fighter-y playstyle.
And all of these changes were made simply because Riot decides to give in to whiny kids who refuse to understand a champion's weakness.
@Riot, You're removing one of the game's most unique AND FUN playstyle and turning the champion into a generic fighter. What about emphasizing weaknesses to make each champion fill a niche role?
Riven HAS CLEAR weaknesses
- No lane sustain, poke champions will drive her out of lane
- A Riven that falls behind will find it almost impossible to catch up. She falls behind much easier than other assassins.
- She absolutely cannot teamfight. CC wrecks her to shit. What did I hear? Riven 1v5? That's because you let her snowball out of control. Assassins will run you over if you let them snowball. That is what they do. Don't fight someone who is 2 levels ahead dumbass.
And honestly she is easier to gank and be kept down that Leblanc or Zed.
Her strengths?
- Dueling. And no she can't outduel Xin, Yi, Jax, Udyr, Shy, Tryn, .. . .
- Splitpushing, yet she doesn't chunk towers as fast as Zed or anyone for that matter because she doesn't build attack speed aside from Youmuu.
- Mobility. With sufficient vision, she's easier to zone out and target than Leblanc. If she uses her Q to get close, she loses a heck ton of damage.
When's the last time someone wrote a proper thread on why Riven deserves changes? Compare her to Vayne and Devourer. The only ones are ''gut that shit''. I hope you whiners are happy, because anything that is slightly challenging to deal with is BROKEN OP BROKEN OP.
