A Small Nerf to Riven that wont destroy her.

Tentakill Myself··4 votes·553 views

Riven's Q cooldown timer will now start as soon as Riven hits an enemy unit with a Q.

Riven's Q cooldown timer is increased to 20 seconds if she fails to hit any units in all 3 Qs.

while i love the idea that Riven can't flee half the map away with 1 Q combo only to have it off cooldown for the other half the idea that if i were to cc her mid combo butcher her entirely is abit too punishing

or how about we don't nerf her since she's perfectly fine

She isn't perfectly fine. In no realm is she balanced.

This would make Riven worse than Elise. Lol.

Won't destroy her...

You clearly dont understand why Riven can even have a chance of winning lane.

20 might be a bit excessive how about 12 which is just enough time ti get away if you escape her fury

Her normal cooldown is 13 seconds. CDR and the fact that if she waits the maximum time to do each Q, it will be off cooldown if she has 40% CDR. Her Q cd just needs to start at the end of her combo.

Ahh well as someone who doesn't play riven ever i can see how 12 seconds would be problematic lol but none the less i agree that it needs to begin at the end of the combo

Don't allow her to stack passive. Problem solved.

People usually do Q+auto+Q+auto... anyway

definitely they do. But with this change if Riven is against a ranged chamion he can't just spam 3 ability get into range and don't lose damage. Or against meele use e+w quickly she won't get 2 passive stack. Also in team fight without flash she need to use more than one ability to reach the backline. It would be a decent nerf to her.
