Riven's nerf seems pointless the more we get past the initial release of it.

Like for real, it seems actually pointless and misses the mark. She's already getting close to 52% winrate, and it seems that the mains have already adjusted and are now going SoS to make the nerf a buff. Can we just nerf CDR on items and nerf Riven's damage finally? If not, then just mini rework her so animation canceling is actually a part of her damage budget.

Keeping the E's ratio at 1 to 1 barely hurts her since most of the champs she fights also have long cooldowns. She still beats her "hard counter" (Darius), and the only way to beat her right now is by playing 50/50 cheese shit like Quinn and Neeko top. How is this in any capacity acceptable?

https://u.gg/lol/champions/riven/build For some reason U.gg has her at 50.88% (makes no sense, and seems like there is a lack of data) https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Riven/ Meanwhile 51.74% is where she sits right now. Please, if you ain't gonna fix top in any capacity, at least nerf shit like Riven with an actual nerf instead of doing top Vik 2.0 like you have before the nerf.

There is no lack of data. U.gg has the biggest sample size and is closest to what riot has internally for statistics. On the contrary, lolanalytics winrate are almost always inflated.

I don't see any issue

51.5% is not 54% like before the nerf

Either way, she's still bullshit. She can go 0/5 but all she needs is SoS and full CDR to faceroll anyone.

Remember they were not nerfing her. They buffed her Q to nerf her E

How do so many people have a problem facing Riven? Maybe it's because I main her(yeah yeah I'm toxic and part of the problem) but I've honestly never lost lane to her as anyone. Even when playing Kayle(early game as least) or Gangplank I still manage to keep at least 7-9 cs/min and can get a kill on my own sometimes. And if I'm not on the top lane and she gets fed it's not hard to kill her if your team has at least 2 forms of CC that are stuns, roots, knock, etc.

How in the world can a Riven not abuse both of them? They have to be terrible if they cant steamroll a GP or Kayle.
