Will Riot ever rework Riven to make her more accessible to lower elo players?

She should be reworked to fix glaring problems, she should NEVER be reworked to be more accessible to lower elo players. She is a high skill cap and mastery champion, dumbing her down is a terrible idea and defeats the purpose of having differences in skill requirement between champions.

Her gameplay is now balanced around animation cancelling (which I really like), but in order to play her to her full potential, you have to consistently use the fast Q combo. I can pull it off 50% of the time and moving targets make it easier, but I also find that part of her gameplay to be unnecessarily tedious. Why should players have to click on the ground after Q in order to burst enemies in a short amount of time? Personally I find that it makes her less fun. Don't confuse this with normal animation cancelling. I love that she has so many possible combos.

Secondly, Riven is a champion that will never be allowed to be good. She will always be average because of the nature of her kit. If there is ever a meta where she is dominant, she will get nerfed immediately because of how snowbally she is.

If I were Riot, I would modernize her kit by removing the fast Q combo and making her a bit less snowball reliant.
