Ugh, Riot... why did you bring riven back....

I've effectively seen riven non-stop since you re-released championship... SO, I think it's about time we tackle some of her blatant issues.

1. Cooldowns, she's obviously Resource-less, so her Cooldowns should be decently high right? Well they're decently long enough at: Q 13 all levels W 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 1-5 E 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 1-5 R 130 / 95 / 60 But when you consider that all but the worst of the worst Riven players get 45% by mid game, and 25%-35% after boots and first item, they're beyond too short. So let's take a look at her Cooldowns AFTER the insanely easy to get 45% Cooldown. Q 7.15 which is effectively 2-4 seconds when you consider how this ability works. W 6.05 \ 5.5 \ 4.95 \ 4.4 \ 3.85 E 5.5 \ 4.95 \ 4.4 \ 3.85 \ 3.3 R 71.5 \ 52.25 \ 33 Um, this is pretty ludicrous... Like are you serious? The snowballing is immeasurable here . 4k gold = 35% CDR, 300, health 50 damage, +45 MS, the rage passive, and 30% armor shred that ramps up during the fights. This is some serious gold efficiency here. Then follow up with the patented . Yes it may be 3200 gold, but you're very likely to be getting ahead due to your easily abuseable, and now you're up to 45% CDR. So what is a poor riven to do with the last three item spots? Well she can get pretty much whatever the hell she wants. Need MR, well we got some options for youuuu!!! , need heavy sustain? , hell you want crit you say? Eh, why not! . Need more durability? . Huh, you're up against some tanks? . See what I'm getting at? She can do whatever she wants with three items, and that makes her one of the most malleable and versatile champion in top lane right now. There's just sooo much wrong with riven right now, and we need to fix her soon.

My suggested options. (Seriously riot, don't do some stupid "nerf the base shield by 10 at level 5 or something, these are important.)

1. Change her ult to raise her base AD and NOT her bonus AD. This way it would directly effect her autos but not her abilities. This wouldn't be that big of a deal since she has auto cancels and ghost blade to bolster her attack speed.
2. Reduce the scaling of her shield, and increase the cooldown at levels 2-5, to keep the final cooldown to 2+ seconds what they currently are. This will effectively increase the cooldown by 1.1% due to 45% cdr.
3. Reduce her movement speed. With as mobile she is due to her abilities, she should be more immobile while slowed and/or silenced/grounded.
4. Change broken wings cooldown to regulate itself so there's always a guaranteed minimum cooldown regardless of whether you drag the flips out. (5) Optional Rework ... seriously riot, it's just too strong of an item. 20% CDR on any item is quite a stretch, and this has been nothing short of abused since it's release. -see marksmen- I'm perfectly fine with fighters doing their job and being able to take down tanks or focus down squishies, but right now Riven is almost as overbearing as Irelia. My personal vision for Riven is to still thrive on being aggressive while having larger and more defined openings of weakness.
