Wouldn't the buff to riven q not change anything?

she can auto cancel with her q...would that mean item 3161 would have just made the E nerf meaningless?

The E is a vital part of a lot of her combos.

Having 4 seconds added on at all ranks is pretty impactful.

 

9.9 E - 10/9/8/7/6 seconds cooldown before CDR. With 45% cdr a maxed shield had 3.3 seconds cooldown in 9.9

9.10 E - 14/13/12/11/10 seconds cooldown before CDR. With 45% CDR a maxed shield has 5.5 seconds cooldown in 9.10

This nerf is pretty big in the sense that it hits her ability to shrug off bad trades with her shield and reduces the ability for her to keep herself healthy during all in's.

I'm no Riven player but I can definitely see it's going to sting, especially early game where she has limited access to CDR.

ABSOLUTELY NOT, between the e nerf and conq nerf, she lost alot of ability to sustain through teamfights.

In late game a little, but she still has less EHP due almost 3 extra sec on E at 40% cdr.

Also her laning phase is weaker as she can block less.

Basically, good players are rewarded more if they know how to punish her, bad players...not my problem.
