Riven's animation cancelling is a problem

Ultîma·Jul 10, 2015·3 votes·677 views

It's no secret that Riven has had access to animation cancelling for a while. 6 months ago, when patch 5.1 came in it gave Riven access to one of the most broken mechanics in the game. The following video illustrates how it works. What this allows Riven to do, is attack much much faster than intended, and propelling her burst through the roof if she gets the drop on someone with her Q.

Just a quick one for everyone: Meddler stated that the Riven changes were an unintended side effect of the CC overlapping system released in that patch. Well, 6 months later and we're still waiting.

I don't really understand why my post is getting downvoted, when it merely states the fact that Riven has access to a glitch which allows her to be much more powerful than intended.

wasnt riven able to always cancel her animations not from 5.1 but from her release ?

since you made a fail like this right in the begining i think that people will downvote you for your lack of knoiwledge about the topic you started by yourself

as far as you dont know what you are talking about people wont take it seriously and wont take part in the discussion

I provided sources from a Rioter stating it was an unintended change from patch 5.1...

{quoted}

This is an unexpected change from some of the fixes in 5.1 to Overlapping CC effects (Riven's lockouts, which were blocking her from auto attacking automatically at once previously, use some of the same system that governs CC). We're going to look at this and discuss what the appropriate course of action is start of next week, will keep you folks posted.
