When will Riot fix overpowered Riven?

I've completely had it with the insane overpowering kit that Riven has. Even after her supposed "nerf" she is still way to powerful. Her kit gives her extreme mobility to both engage and disengage. Not to mention great escapes with wall bounce. Also all her abilities have way to short of a cooldown at max level. If you max CDR with her like most people she becomes able to chain all her abilities none stop. Her shield with its AD scaling makes it so all she has to buy as much attack damage as possible and still be able to be tanky. Not to mention since her shield has such a low cooldown it will negate most damage over time champs or spells. i.e. (ignite, zed ult). Lets not forget the most overpowered ult of all. It increases all her attack damage while active then when used wipes champs based off percentage of health missing. Ever walked into a bush to be instantly wiped by a Riven with active ult?

If Riot is so concerned about game balance why then do they allow a champ with so much unstoppable force to be continued. Her kit makes her an incredibly powerful assassin yet bruiser at the same time. Not the mention her sustain in lane with no resources to worry about other than health. How can you not see that Riven has become this untouchable God. So to sum it all up Riven has way too short of cooldowns with unstopping burst potential, has to only build attack damage and can still be a bruiser and an assassin at the same time, lane sustain with no resources, and an overpowered ult that makes her already overpowered kit unstoppable.

Please if you feel the same way I do let Riot know that Riven is a broke ass bitch.

Have you considered... That she's completely stoppable and becomes dead weight if you don't feed her?

Okay this is not true, I played a game where I was at 380 some odd armor with mundo and almost 4k health and she evaporated me because armor pen is complete bullshit and riven's damage outputis complete bullshit.

Yasuo, Riven and most adc's ignore armor at this point.

The only problem i have is her shield dash, that thing is stupid strong on a champion like Riven. Most of the champions i normally play do really well against her so i dont have much issue fighting her. In ranked if they choose Riven i choose Garen, he is Riven's counter lol super fun.

Edit: BTW Malphite, Mordekaiser, Malzahar (top lane only), Garen, and Darius are just a few champions that have relatively easy laning phases against her.

Any cc makes riven die, it isn't like she can blow you up at range and her rotations do take time. Hit her with a snare and she suddenly cant use Q or E and if she went full AD she is so squishy it is almost pathetic.

I play Riven quite a bit and I know that if you can harass her on the brief moments when her shield is down she really has issues keeping her hp up. Yes she can out trade a lot of champs early, but a lot of champs that you should be facing her with can get back their health far easier than she can. Deny her farm in lane and make it so she falls behind and most Rivens feel absolutely worthless unless they get lucky in a teamfight.

And if you are facechecking bushes when the enemy team has a fed riven and you don't have vision of her that is kinda your own fault .-.

I want to feel sympathy for you... But every time I see Riven in my lane, I just have to laugh because without her jungle camping her, I'm going to destroy her.
