Why are the Riven changes so weird

To my knowledge they attempted to make powershift changes to riven away from her ability to survive for so long. Why are they doing this by changing her e? She's so easy to survive with because of Deaths Dance and Spear of Shojin, and giving her more opportunities to spam Q will only let her abuse the rune she's been abusing thus far... Conq

I don't get the changes really. Adding 4 seconds to her e just makes her feel a lot more clunky and won't really solve the main issue in my opinion

Riven isn't actually overpowered, its just a western phenomenon. She's barely below the threshold of what we consider too strong or unhealthy, so we're okay looking into some long-form changes but until we settle on something specific, we're not going to do much work on just changing her numbers.

And of course, any nerfs will get compensation buffs to make her even stronger so we can continue selling her Pulsefire and Bunny skin to chinese kids.
