Why does everyone hate riven

Riven has a 50 percent win rate and a 10 percent play rate. This is PERFECTLY FINE! nothing is wrong with a champion having a 50/50 chance of winning, but because when riven is ahead she can do so many things, everyone is complaining. Its like whenever a bruiser or fighter gets ahead everyone calls them op and broken.

MEANWHILE DARIUS HAS A 52 PERCENT WIN RATE WITH A 10 PERCENT PLAY RATE AND NOT 1 COMPLAINT

Please leave riven alone. Shes fine. I know cc cancleling should be fixed but DO NOT nerf this champion. I think she is very balanced.

She's just annoying to fight.

She can be annoying to deal with, tends to attract toxic players and is often feast-or-famine.

As such, she isn't fun to play with or against for many players.

Keep in mind there's also the skill level of a champion to factor. traditionally higher skill cap champions like riven are kept at a lower winrate because typically with champions like her her mains have a much higher payoff for playing her properly. They are mainly balanced around people who can play them rather then everyone, so they usually have slightly sub 50% winrates. As for darius he's simple enough to where a new person can take him into a game first time and do well with him from the start while people just starting riven are worse off generally.

That and as stated before some people find her annoying to fight.

I don't hate Riven. I hate: A). The dicks that play her and act like hot shit every time they get a kill over you/flame you and the rest of the team when the game isn't going well B). Playing against players who have mastered her kit because it really feels like there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop them from eventually killing you. It's like challenging Zero to a match of Melee when you're only halfway decent at Smash 4.

Because she is simply annoying. And she is champion that is flagged as one of the most toxic champions in league thanks to her toxic mains.

And, because she has high skill cieling and unexperienced player can still wipe enemy team easily while just facerolling keyboard. So I hate bad players playing her but I like good players playing her. Even when they destroy me, because they should destroy me since they are good with her. Don't know how to describe it properly, but I hope you know what I mean.

People hate her because of the fact she can easily become useless and whenevr the riven player becomes useless they start to tilt very hard This is coming from a Riven main and I try not to be toxic but i can feel the pressure my team puts on me with all the hate the give me but it feels very rewarding whenever I carry the team after they flame me for playing riven.In conclusion 15% riven players arent toxic but the rest are toxic because there ego is to big and they dont know how to play her correctly.

Riven has 1 thing over all other top lane cancers, they all still have 1 problem, FUCKING MANA, which Riven doesnt have so she can mindlessly spam around without giving a single fuck. Not to mention her kit is pretty OP even if it had any resource, this just pushes her over the edge imo.
