I really don't understand the Riven QQ

She's super hard to learn and get good at. I suck at her personally but did practice for like 2 weeks straight to get somewhat okay at animation cancelling.

What's with champions that are actually hard causing the most buttmad with league players?

A fight between champions is like a dance where the lead can change at any moment. Riven is one of those champions where it doesn't feel like you personally can ever take the lead against her. She's either outplaying you or outplaying herself.

Dude I promise if you take time to learn her you'll find fighting against her a LOT easier.

Oh I know. I'm just saying that's usually why people hate champions like her.

That's actually why I learned her, to play against her. Now she's my main!

He's totally right though, I haven't lost lane to a Riven in ages, at my MMR/Elo at least, he'll I'll pick Aatrox into her with great success

She is rather annoying to deal with, tends to attract toxic players and can promote a selfish playstyle. Her performance is rather suspect (often either snowballing extremely hard or feeding just as badly), leaving them as unreliable factors.

Regardless of her actual state of balance, she is rather annoying to have as an ally or an enemy.

She was actually too powerful with CotC.

That's why CotC got nerfed.

I've noticed Riven hate go down from what I remember. Then again I climbed in rank a bit ._.

She was nerfed with the removal of Brutalizer and had a low-ish win-rate for quite some time. Itemization changes and buffs have brought her back into the meta.

Also, Yasuo and Fiora arrived to draw away much of her player-base (and receive the complaints instead).

Hard to learn? I played her for the first time in ARAM and dominated. All you do is mash buttons and everything dies LOL

You're also level 7 going against level 7s.

Theres a difference between learning a champion and doing well with them.
