Yay Riven Q cooldown buff revert....

So she'll just be regular strength broken since Conquerer, Spear of Shojin, Black Cleaver, and Death's Dance still exist to give her insane durability, CDR, damage, and sustain. Still refusing to actually NERF THAT FUCKING CHAMPION MEANINGFULLY and instead gently caress her with a lovetap it. It's not like she had a 55% winrate in high elo or anything. It's not like she regularly has maintained a 52% winrate in Plat+ over THOUSANDS of games for the last goddamn year.

Meanwhile Galio mains are writing their wills as their champion gets continuously beaten with the nerfbat despite laying on the cold floor lifeless.

One of devs main Riven... Other main Vayne. Those two will never be nerfed to oblivion like Kalista or any other that you barely recognize.

Riot has evolved and is now using not one, but two hands to beat the living hell out of that champion.

How about we don't nerf Champions and fucking compensate buff them in the same patch? :)

Riven doesn't even touch a positive winrate until plat. She isn't broken in your elo.

The sad thing is, once you factor in that she rushes 40%/ 45% cdr every game and do the math, this nerf is even less impactful than it looks on paper.

Broken Wings (Q) cooldown changed from 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 to 12 at all ranks.

10s with 40% cdr = 6 second cd 12s with 40% cdr = 7.2 second cd

10s with 45% cdr = 5.5 second cd 12s with 45% cdr = 6.6 second cd

What this means is that at max rank (the nerf's most impactful state) she loses basically ONE SECOND of Q uptime.

This change is a joke.

You know what bothers me, is that the reason he was nerfed was pro play. You could literally remove everything about Riven here and still have the best part, Galio's ENTIRE KIT was gutted because pro players couldn't buy QSS or react to him walking up and channeling, or just BAN THE FUCKING CHAMP. Why is "Just ban him" an acceptable argument for solo queue but not pro play where 5 players coordinate their bans.

Idk bout higher elos but in high silver she's pretty shit, might sound selfish but i don't want them to nerf her because I like playing her, if they nerf her she'll still be good in high elos (because the problem is her kit, not stats) but she'll be bad in lower elos

I just hope they can find a solution to nerf her teamfight and buff her laning phase

Why don't we not advocate for champions to be kneecapped and instead keep try to actually balance them out.

So let me get this straight..You talk about a nerf to a champion, then complain because the champion's build allows them to still be strong despite the nerf.. Well besides the sound of salt, I'd say I'm more hearing that you have a problem with the items, not the champion.

i love how this is the first thing i notice when i come to the forums but no one cares to wanna talk about the illaoi issue going on atm single minded fools or the kled buff that made him out of control now in top lane but yea lets nerf riven bc i have a hard time fighting against her.....smh

So you forgot the shield nerf that was shipped on the patch of her Q buff aswell? So overall, a net nerf after all.

Gut her passive damage by half. Revert the Aatrox q changes that went to riven for god knows why. Aatrox's q is a skill shot. If Riven uses her q she should have the full cool-down reset. I love how none cares about that when its so important. Her q isn't just op for the 3 dashes and the ability itself. Her passive is stupid and it should be fixed. Riven shouldn't auto win any trade because she spams autos after every ability. Make her more punishing. And less rewarding. Because she already rewards you enough. That champion is the dumbest thing I had to go through as a top lane main who plays champions that can beat riven and still finds enough struggles with her bs kit that barely provides any counterplay if the enemy riven has more than 3 brain cells.

They fucked galio so hard by making his ult completely useless makes me sad. But weeabo waifu, "makes my peepee hard" Riven is kept strong and overall disgusting.
