Riven is OP?

Where are all the Riven players in LCS if she's so good? Who else is out there besides Boxbox that can make her actually look good and actually commits to her?

As someone who hates Riven with a burning passion, I don't think she's OP.

I think her interactions with her lane opponent are lifeless and binary to the point where either she gets a kill and runs you out of lane or she gets bullied and sullies in a corner.

Honestly, she needs a rework.

This, I like how she plays. But she is way too feast and famine. If she gets first kill against your top.. she will just snowball forever.

Riven is G&B's scapegoat. They'll complain about her until she's all but deleted while actual OP champs will go on to rape and plunder unnoticed by the masses.

She has an overloaded kit, but she is not op. Overloaded kit means her kit as alot of abilties that seem like too much. Low cd, high damage, and no mana, and if played by someone skilled she can be crazy good. yet, peopel pick her and just spam abitlites and use her in solo que. People dont get her kit and just spam.

Ive seen rivens just try to 1v5 because they think "riven does damage, so I should do it". If anything ive seen to many people throw games as riven because they get sooooo cocky.

Honestly... I think it would be interesting if Riven's shield scaled off maximum health instead of bonus AD (call it Vigor instead of Valor for all I care). As her kit stands, pretty much everything scales off AD or bonus AD. She has no incentives to build anything else.
