Some thoughts about Riven's shield...

Hey! I just want to share some of my thoughts about one of the most broken champion in my opinion, Riven. Being a manaless champion with high damage and cc, why is her shield so overpowered??? It has a very low cooldown and is the only shield that scales with AD... a LOT of AD in addition of being a dash. Even if it's a small dash, it is so frustrating to be against one, because whenever she gets low she has lot of ways to get away or kite you to death because of her shield being too big... I think what could be done to it is nerfing the cooldown or the AD scale on shield OR ultimately turning her shield from AD to AP scaling.

Feel free to negociate her shield x)

if it's changed from AD to AP scaling Riot has stated that they would have to give the base shield a massive buff to something like 260 or 280 and lowering the AD ratio will just risk her starting to build bruiser making her even more of a pain to deal with since now you can't even kill her effectively while stunned/silenced. Her shield scales so well with AD as to make it better to just build pure damage on her with maybe one defensive item due to it's base value being really small. It's like that with every single one of her skills, low bases high scaling so it's less appealing for her to build defense items

omg someone shares the same idea as me.

I dont particularly think riven is op, however I do say that having a sheild scale off ad is just plain stupid. 98% of champions in the game that have sheilds scale off ap. Why should riven be so special to have this once in a lifetime thing?
