Riven needs a serious nerf

So ya know that whole thing about the one champ that if played like a god will pretty much carry games well lets be honest u dont have to be a god or even a gold tier player ya just have to know the game and how to use the champ effectively. so when it comes to her we all know shes a super mobile champ with low cd's. not gonna lie i think she is fun and i actually like her a lot but what other ad champ has anything like her kit. So let start with this her Q allows her to attack 3 times i dont have a problem with that. its what makes her super mobile, its what makes her passive really strong. who doesnt like a sheen proc. ok next a dash like i said before super mobile makes you think do i go in with this or use it to run away. completely fine with that. now this is where we are having issues her stun. I dont have a problem with a champ that has 1 cc but riot riven has not 1 but 2 cc and its hard cc at that and there not an ult. thats the problem were facing here there is no other ad champ with multiple hard cc that are not ults. now when it comes to ap champs with multiple "hard" cc we gotta keep that in mind its gotta be "hard" there are several champs to choose but lets be honest with ourselves most of them are played as supp for example naut, thresh, blitz ok umm i think thats it. but that fact show that there are no other champs that have multiple hard cc with out the use of an ult are very limited and with the exception of those 3 that are used as supp mainly u dont got much in a way of stopping her so come on riot you gotta think this through when creating champs and development because we can all agree that riven main are cocky when they snoball and think there hot stuff when they carry games. So to end this rant ill end with riven need a nerf remove the knock up or the stun what ever u think is less beneficial to her kit

Nope, she needs a buff if anything.

You know, I'm never opposed to a good nerfing of weeb champs, but can you at least give a reason?

He just did, her cc is too powerful for a champ that is designed to spam abilities and have them on a short rotation.

Which, as a Sion main, I find pretty goddamn annoying.

Riven could use a buff, honestly. She's on the weaker side, but she's still pretty balanced right now. And tons of high damage dealers have CC(Trundle, Yasuo, Volibear, etc).

so either you're new to the game or u have never seen riven played by people that actually know what there doing with her. First off the content of this topic is actually about her cc (hard cc) next if you want to talk about her damage she has ad scaling on all her abilities and her ult having to be an execute and u say she need a buff why? You are not stating anything to support your argument. we all know yasuo has high damage but trundle and volibear are you kidding me? Can you actually trundles pillar hard cc and for volibear he literally charges at someone in order to flip them overhead. And yasuo sure he got a knock up but is it reliable? Not unless you are charging in with it with the intention of knocking them up. come on man at least bring in something to the table to support your statement

I'm neither new to the game and I have seen a Riven who knows what she's doing.

Personally, I'd like the see the Wind Slash on her ult's travel speed increased by a small amount, then she'll be stronger whilst remaining balanced. I've both seen and experienced Riven lose kills because her enemy is either able to outrun her execute or dash away from it.

we all know yasuo has high damage but trundle and volibear are you kidding me? Can you actually trundles pillar hard cc and for volibear he literally charges at someone in order to flip them overhead.

Hell yeah, they're high damage dealers. And yes, Trundle's pillar is(depending on if you can hit them with it) hard CC and Voli's knockup is considered hard CC.

And yasuo sure he got a knock up but is it reliable? Not unless you are charging in with it with the intention of knocking them up.

Okay, admittedly, Yasuo wasn't the best choice. But there's still high damage dealers that have hard CC. Jax, Ekko, Renekton, Ahri, Azir, Taliyah(late game)... you get the point.

Ok so u did bring up a few champs but there is something that you are still forgetting i want you to think about what this topic is all about. Its not about how many champs have hard cc its about how many champs have multiple hard cc and none of that champs have multiple hard cc. Sure some of the champs you named are more reliable ie. Jax Renekton Azir but they all only have 1 form of hard cc. i see all the negative comments that you all are posing but none of you are objective in the least and of coarse since u all seem to play riven and think im just some pissed off sore loser that you wont even try to find the validity of what im talking about.
