A suggestion for a riven buff, give her passive or Q a small %hp damage that scales with ad

(since riot more or less confirmed they are going to buff her a bit + other fighters)

So she can actually lane and fight tanks without fervor.

Maybe if Riven was actually weak, sure.

But she isn't, so no.

She is, overall 48% win rate in plat +.

That is terrible considering 99% of the ppl that play riven are riven mains.

Without fervor she just cannot lane against anything that builds tabi and or bramble vest.

Nerf Bramble then. That's basically all the buffs I'd allow.

A high skill champion with a high playrate should have a lower winrate. Generally high winrate and high pickrate equal broken.

Riven would need to be reworked to have a way to deal with tanks, otherwise no shit she's gonna lose when tanks are kinda broken.

I've always used the pick rate win rate with lee sin and people just say but muh skill cap yet everyone AND their mother plays lee.. well 20% play rate and roughly a 50% win rate. Also opinion, I went against a yorick the other day as riven and he wrecked me hard. I know i'm not super good or anything but who has the upperhand in that match up? If his ghouls hit me under tower it was a minimum 1/4 of my hp gone lol

Don't listen to this dude, he plays Kayle top. He gets off on right clicking Rivens to death from range.

I also play Kayn and Aatrox top. Not sure how bias relates to if I am correct or not, as it only relates to perspective and not truth.

Don't know about you, but Riven has been auto winning lane for the entire season and would prefer she doesn't anymore.

Yorick is a low elo stomping champion. You don't know how to play against him.

Also Riven is one of Yorick's greatest counters. You don't even have to focus his ghouls and they die because of your Q and W being AoE.

Riven's bruiser/anti-tank builds definitely need buffs, but adding %hp is not the way to go. Riot has suggested they may be missing a rune for the fighter niche, so I'm just hoping they add a fervor equivalent as such.

Maybe % bonus armor pen?

Yeah while we're suggesting ridiculous buffs lets make is so her Q nerf was reverted so it did the full scale at rank 1 so we can get back the level 1 cheese. Lol.
