Riven gets only 1.25 hp/5 from rejuv beads
Is this really acceptable? Does riot really believe that a nerf like this, where a champ suddenly becomes incapable of scaling with an item stat is healthy and fair for the champion? Taking away this much without giving anything back is just a flat nerf for a champion that frequently relies on rejuv beads as part of their lane sustain (especially considering that before the change, the item literally doubled rivens regen in lane)
I understand people complain about Rivens kit a lot, but an AD scaling shield does not make up for a nerf this massive. Heimerdinger was given HP regen ( a good amount too), and he's a ranged champion that barely needs it. Riven is melee, has no natural healing, and will be nerfed twofold with the next patch, due to fewer stats being granted at early levels, meaning advantages in top lane are harder to prioritize on, and because her most common build path now has about 540 gold worth of wasted stats due to the fact that she cannot scale with the item anymore.
I'm not asking to buff riven, I just want it to be acknowledged that the changes hurt her much more severely than many other champions in league. Because it's painful to see champions nerfed harshly without justification.
