Stop crying about riven

All of these people complaining about riven is just so annoying, i believe she was made to deal with those people that play the ACTUAL broken champs, if you don't know how to play her, you will be smashed, but riven as a champion has the most outplay potential (which is probably why people think she is broken) so if you actually know how to play the champion, you can dominate the game, and the people riding that freelo train. Please stop this PJSalt, its irritating

You're contradicting yourself. "Riven isn't actually broken" "When you know how to play Riven, you dominate the game"

She's obviously just a broken champion that has a high skill cap, so you can't freelo her without tons of practice. She's toxic to play against because Riot didn't intend for her to animation cancel.

Uh, Hello? Even as Riot was releasing Riven, they were pretty clear they designed her as an inspiration from fighting games. And fighting games have A LOT of animation-cancelling (a.k.a. combos). So, they did intend for her to animation-cancel, it's basically the whole point of the champion. Also, the difference between a good Riven and a great Riven isn't animation-cancelling. Whether you're good or bad on her, if you're maining her - you will learn her animation-cancelling at some point. The true sign of a great Riven player is her teamifighting, cause she's one of the hardest champions to teamfight as. Which is something that the people who complain about Riven have no idea about. Also, having very high skill cap is a legit balance. Just because you've learned a champion doesn't mean you play flawlessly like a robot. There's always that high risk for a mechanical error that throws you the game (one of the reasons why LeBlanc stayed untouched for a LONG time).
