I can't remember the last time I saw a Riven utilize her move speed if you know what I mean...

Rinky DinkyMay 6, 201524 votes

Yep.

I always found it dumb Riven had more movement speed than Darius, when she has 4 dashes and 2 cc's :X

Darius has low movement speed because he actually gets a movement speed buff from his passive. I can't believe how immensely slow some other characters are though, like corki has the slowest flying plane ever made.

Anivia is a CRYO-phoenix, and as we know at extremely low temperatures atoms become less active(vibrate less?). Fact that perfectly explains her sluggish movement since she's made out of ice(sort of?).

about as effective as nerfing Zed attack speed

Rinky DinkyMay 7, 20153 votes

Someones doesn't realize how important movement speed as a stat is...

Someone also doesn't realize how much that AS nerf hurt his split pushing :X

Prolly a slapstick nerf before she goes overboard with the use of the new item 3071 . Personally I never considered Riven as problematic to lane against as a Garen or Darius , not to mention unfun(is that even a word?) and unintuitive.

In the meantime I'll go sit in my corner while I wait for kill indicators for Darius and Garen's ultimates for when they are capable of killing you just like Chogath .

On a side note I still don't understand the reasoning behind item 3071 's change; most of the champions that utilized it(the overwhelming majority) didn't have an inate problem dealing with mobility after all, and phage isn't a cool item to go to the lane with(comparable to item 3057 for example or the new item 1043 ). I mean come on, I can afford my next secondary item, what's it gonna be: extra ms on hit in turn of extra hp and a tiny bit of damage or extra mana for ability spam and a really nice on hit effect I can utilize while trading or to farm even more successfully?

Darius is a massive lane bully but thats all he is. Garen can be annoying if fed, but neither of them has anywhere near the snowball potential of Riven.

You have to remember Garen and Darius are also champions that you can play in this game, and they have different concepts about them. Sorry that Garen nor Darius is named Riven.

You have to remember we are sharing our personal opinions here and you also have to accept certain aspects of Darius and Garen the same way you're willing to bash Riven.

Darius is more than a lane bully, he is still useful with his ult late game.

I haven't played in a while, but I recall his ult being reduced to 0 if he killed someone.

On the topic of the item 3071 changes, it was because when the item was good it was just to good at killing everything, so they had to keep it weak or it became core on everybody.

Core to who though? As far as I'm conserned whomever I saw building it should build it anyways. That and given the tank meta everyone gets fixated with the past Black Cleaver was a nice cost effective item.

LittleBlastMay 7, 20151 votes

Core to anyone ad honestly. League of Cleavers is an example of this.

I still don't get it. LoC isn't a thing of the distant past? In addition, I don't see the problem with buying cleaver every game if your enemies build the same things all the time.

If BC being core to anyone is a problem, how about every single damn AP mid rushing item 3165 ? I don't see the point in Ahri buying it first when I'm already 3/0/2 as Lissandra with a finished item 3001 . It doesn't help mitigate any magic damage, all it offers is mana regen and cdr, the grevious wounds are not even usefull against the overwhelming majority of AP casters who don't have healing(fuck the meta, I'm talking in general). I don't see the reason why they'd ruin(personal opinion)BC as an item itself and it's really good synergy with some champions that make for some entertaining gameplay alltogether when down in middle lane people refuse to addapt their build according to how the lane matchup goes.

The thing is, morellos isnt extremely efficient at killing EVERYTHING. It doesnt give both tank killing and squishy killing stats. Morellos has the issue of just being better than athenes in most situations.

When you put it in that way I can understand, thanks!

LittleBlastMay 7, 20151 votes

And as a sidepoint, ahri's passive gives ap scaling healing which works well with all of morellos stats.

....... Recurve bow? Really? It's slightly better than before, but if you go into lane with one top after a first back you might as well bend over and kiss your ass good buy. Phage is a plenty strong item.

Opinion fully personal based of my experiences so far. Given I'm rushing a item 3078 , I ALWAYS opt for a item 3057 first. And the new item 1043 though, god damn whenever my enemy laner has completed an item they come to lane with this shit. GOD DAMN the powerspike. And it's so damn clunky to play against...

Diamond 1 Riven main here! oh and also im a girl gamer btw

Riven is underpowered and needs buffs. Riot balance team has no idea what they're doing. (riot balance team is 100% male, this explains everything. they only nerf female champions and reduce mana costs of overpowered male champions, just look at the hecarim nerfs.. disgusting)

Obvious bait is obvious man. Aside from the grammar, which is actually decent, this is pretty much vvvortic level intentional shitposting. It touches on the stupid SJW subjects everyone gets mad over in a super trolly way and even requests champ buffs from a champ main, another thing everyone gets mad over. It's either a joke or someone trying to get people mad as a joke. Or both.

yeah this explains why nightblue easily gets challenger on NA and loses 8 games in a row on an euw diamond 5 smurf. d1 euw is something like challenger 700lp on na.

Twitch streamer who is Challenger on NA server. Tried to do an Unranked to Challenger on EUW and wasn't able to make it past diamond 5.

Extremely good player though, may have just been a bad streak or something.

Trundle isn't trash tier at all lol. Like, you have no idea how powerfull he is if you consider him bad. Disgustingly underplayed? Hell yeah, but trash? Not even close. He is one of THE strongest if not THE strongest duelist and tank shredder in the game, his objective game is really strong his sustain is off the charts and he can easily go out of control. The problem isn't Trundle himself nor Riven , it's the meta-freaks.
