Ki Burst (W): AD increased from 100% bAD to 130% bAD Blade of the Exile (R): Wind Slash minimum damage increased from [100/150/200 (+60% bAD)] to [175/250/325 (+90% bAD)] EDIT: Damage % increase based on missing health lowered from [0-200%] to [0-100%] Like, for real. The last thing Riven needs is more fucking damage to her execute. Are you trying to shove Riven back down our throats again? I get shes getting a new skin with a Prestige, but have you forgotten how long you left her as the Omega of Toplane? About most of the year.

Its not JUST Riven (tho that one is BONKERS). They are buffing damage all over the place and buffing stun/slows to try and deal with the damage they are buffing. Its a joke.

I'm genuinely convinced the balance team are actively trying to sabotage the game.

Hmm... skin on pbe...? oh god no... ... ... ... yup buffs on pbe...

This has been the case for almost every pbe this season..

Guess riot embraced the greed ... no shame anymore.

In previous seasons they would atleast try to conceal the "new skin buffs" by buffing that champ a few patches earlier so people wouldn't notice.

Just so you guys don't start crying over the buffs we riven mains also don't want them. Damage has never been our problem.

Abibyama II9/12/2019, 11:23:43 PM11 votes

The bigger buff is the W. The R buffs are almost meaningless because no one ults at the beginning of the fight most of the time, I reckon you save it for the last

E: while everyone else is losing their shit over Riven, I will say that Xin is back to gank your asses

Those number increases are actually un-believable. like if you told me they went up that much i wouldnt believe you. that is actually terrible. i cant even put into words how stupid that increase is. why give an execute ability more damage to begin with

Riot: Nerfs Riven by adding 2 seconds to her Q cd Also Riot: We over-nerfed Riven (which was more of a slap on the wrist but whatever), so we're going to give her HUGE DAMAGE BUFFS ON HER W AND R

... I guess it's time to start perma banning her again. What a nice 2-week break that was. (Although the only reason I stopped in the first place was because I got tired of seeing Akali)

Shiroe Okazaki9/13/2019, 2:08:44 AM7 votes

They litterally adjusted her and gave her a very very minor nerf saying she was a little op. Now turning around and giving GIANT BUFFS to her. wtf

Spooky Skeleton9/13/2019, 2:10:32 AM6 votes

This has to be a fucking joke right? That legitimately made me mad. Fire your ENTIRE fucking balance team if they think it's even remotely ok to buff Riven. Ah who are we kidding Riot is just EA/2K 2.0 at this point. Literally buffing champs to sell skins, they're not even hiding it anymore.

Next thing we know you can only unlock the batshit op new champions through hextech chests.

Fucking joke of a company.

WTF is this shit if this makes it through i'm legit uninstalling, I'll surely be able to find some games to keep me occupied until cyberpunk 2077.

A) Worlds is coming up B) New Skin + Prestige C) Excuse as to why they're buffing

While this evidence is circumstantial and there's nothing definitive, here's my theory: They made an excuse to buff her, saying she was overnerfed. But in actuality, they want her in Pro Play because Worlds is right around the corner (Don't they usually play Worlds on a 9.18-9.20 patch?) When people see her picked, they'll try to play her, and she'll have a brand new and expensive skin coming alongside that. Again, this is all circumstantial.

The funny part is that they gave shield breaking to renekton to counter Riven's shield. Just lower it or remove it? wtf

So yeah, let's give Asol 60HP, he will be fine

But omg our kid Riven is so overnerfed, +30%AD scaling and let's overamplify R min damage so it works even if you are not executing

Another pointless change, another damage buff in Season 9. After the whole Season 8 being an awful burst fiesta. They just DON'T balance their own game. They follow other ways and principles (-> new skin).

But keep trusting this company, and buying their skins ;)

Are you trying to shove Riven back down our throats again?

Nah, they did that since idk. Now they are trying to make her more op

TheRunicBlade9/13/2019, 2:41:12 AM1 votes

this is a little misleading The whole Riven R change isn't shown here. Wind Slash minimum damage increased from [100/150/200 (+60% bAD)] to [175/250/325 (+90% bAD)] Damage % increase based on missing health lowered from [0-200%] to [0-100%]

They are adjusting the R.
