@meddler some questions about Rivens future

Quaxo··1 votes·398 views

i see so many people complain about Riven so i wanted to ask you (cause of the nice and helpfull response of the support...) if you plan in changing Riven HARD in the future. with that i mean like removing her animation canceling or her fast q combo cause i think that would completly destroy and ruin Riven. to the other factor of her being bad or op in the current meta or haveing unhealthy burst (just take a look at Akali Annie Brand FizzDiana Irelia Illaoi Gangplank and many more if you want to talk about unhealthy burst and oneshot ) . in my opinion Riven is a really balanced champion kit wise and shouldnt be reworked cause of her unique abailitys playstyle and mechanics you can pull of as Riven i could see some number changes if you think she is to strong or to weak but i wouldnt say she in unhealthy in any piont. i cant really understand why some people complain about the time you need to master a champion, imo the reason why so many people play games like league of legends is to have fun and to improve and the only way to improve is repeat things what takes time, so i would be happy if you could give me your opinion why riot (you) changed the alistar combo few patches ago and now the nidalee aa reset with her ult, i mean these 2 things were key factors if you are good at the champ or not and i guess if you want to lower the winrate or experienced players and higher the winrate of newer players you should remove every combo and just make champs like Garen where you have 0 combos and just one aa reset.

to sum up the post i want to know your opinion on Riven at the moment and your opinion on future reworks or updates (i hope youll answer that you dont plan on reworking Riven ^_^)

Personally I think Riven should be weak statwise and only decent with items since her power scales heavily with how she is played.

She shouldn't stat check her opponents to win fights. She should outplay them.

y thats what i basicly meant with the high effort high reward that you should be rewarded for playing a champ often

Garen has 2 aa resets not 1.

Because half of the things Riven uses in her current playstyle was never intended and shes a super snowball machine that feels lackluster if she doesnt which simutaneously widens the already massive success gap between new players and veteran.

Because having actual glitches consume a large portion of your power budget is unhealthy as at any moment an update that accidently fixes said glitch can cause your character to fall apart.

Maybe because Its very hard for her enemies to gauge her windows of power due her extremely low CD's once she hits 45% CDR and a built in execute. Or Maybe because if Riot ever decided to remove or reworkitem 3074 the character would take a MASSIVE hit and would need to be looked at again anyway.

I could go on and on but im pretty sure you should get the picture by now. Its not a matter of Riot "making the game easier for noobs" its matter of updating her 2 year old kit to match current quality and standards. And it wouldnt Ruin her as those things arent supposed to be what makes Riven "Riven". The edge update was a step in the right direction but it just required a bit more fine tuning.

i rly dont understand your point of few maybe you are just "retarded" or you just know nothing about the game and why people play sertant champions, you could ask every riven player that is experienced with the champion and has put time in learning the mechanics of the champion that riven is nowhere near being overpowerd or unhealthy and if you think rivens mechanics are bugs then i want to know why riot didnt remove it some years earlyer. maybe youre just a riven hater or think that she is just completly op but to even get to the point where she can burst down enemys and get into the situation to use her "extremely low" cooldowns you have to get throught the laneing phase vs all these op tanks (Darius Fiora Irelia Malphite Maokai Nautilus Rammus TahmKench Swain that deal more dmg with building full tank than the in your opinion unhealthy bursty dmg dealer riven. and the edge system that you mentioned was even stronger but clunky as fck and not fun anymore to play, and to the point that riven has no counterplay, trust me... she has enought counterplay and allmost all matchups are hard maybe 1 or 2 are even and none is won from champselect on.
