I think every word and thread has already been used to describe her and her overloaded kit. So i dont think i have any more new things too add up about her.

It is perfectly clear that she is not balanced and everything about her is so much bigger compared to the rest of the champions.

So can we just nerf her and end this Riven nerf campaign once for all...

P.S.Riven mains,if u really like Riven as champion then u will love her no matter how weak or strong she is,if dont then i guess u like her because she is freelo...

She is a stomp at low Elo solo q. Her LCS and high Elo leaves much to be desired. I don't play riven at all and I don't think she needs a nerf.

She is much stronger in higher elo,since the people in higher elo can exploit her full potential.

She actually doesn't have a high skill ceiling. She's a really simple champion to master. Her highest level mechanics include juggling spells and auto attacks. Higher Elo people know how to deal with her and how to disrupt her devastating combo.

I agree, especially now item 3751 is here, Tanky tops/jungle should have an easier time dealing with her.

Riven is extremely unlikely to receive a nerf anytime soon. There is no question she is very capable of snowballing and often does in the silver/bronze ranks, but overall she's not a strong champion as hard CC completely eliminates most of her combos and she is one of the squishiest melee champs in the game.

Most of the people calling for nerfs on her are lower ELO and haven't figured out how to use CC to stomp all over her. Riot actually watches the meta in all regions and has seen that Riven is considered trash in Asia where many of the best players in the world are from. IF she's trash there, there is no reason to nerf her more. In fact I'd be unsurprised to find they eventually try to buff her or tweak her kit to see if there is a way to bring her back into the meta for higher ELOs

She is pretty useless if people don't know how to use her. When she was on free-rotation, I always played against one every other match and they literally just ran to their deaths.

She's strong yes but is incredibly weak to CC. Roots make 2 of her abilities unusuable for their duration. ROOTS. Just CC her and she can't do much.

Unlike most AD champs who require a stun or knock up to really slow down, Riven's reliance on her spells means silences, roots, and entangles REALLY hurt her. Also slows are underrated vs her.

no champion in the game should have a shield that scales on ad that serves as both a gap closer and an escape as well as have a less than five second cd it honestly does not make sense not to mention a q with a built in knock up and three flashes from one ability alone

plz riot it's rediculous in low elo. like you dont even have to look at the screen and u can 1v5, she needs to be nerfed to the ground. like at least nerf her ult range or her shield.
