U.GG LoL Riven Build & Runes Guide Top Jungle Mid Bot Support S9

She has a 53.24% winrate and a 15.8% pickrate That's the 2nd highest winrate in all of toplane, only 0.16% away from being the highest winrate top. She also has the highest pick rate by far.

Meanwhile yorick is already getting nerfed the patch after he isn't a tier 5 trollpick and Aatrox players were told to wait a month for slight buffs.

Why does Riot allow bug abuse on such a massive scale?

I mean cmon, we all know Riven is "such a high skill cap champion" that she is allowed to have such a high win% ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

They apparently think nerfing Conqueror is gonna fix this. I can honestly tell its not gonna do much.

Riven is abusing a bug right now?

Animation cancelling is an unintended bug that became a "feature". Either remove it or give it to other champs as well.

A lot of champs have animation cancelling. It definitely was intended by riot... probably because it was an accident, and fixing it is way too hard for them. Fixing bugs isn't really Riot's fortee.

It's basically a meme that riot nerfing Graves by 3 AD broke Renekton W for instance. the only thing they do really fix is skin bugs.

I mean, other champs definitely have it. I think Riven just has an overloaded kit in general with mobility, no resources, an AoE execute, stat steroid, two AoE hard CCs, a low CD shield, several gap closers...she's nutty. I fought one yesterday in the jungle that could basically 2-shot me at 15 minutes. It's bonkers.

It definitely helps. Lvl 1. no items, rank 1 E is a 95 + 69 (from ad) shield. buying a longsword makes it 79

I do not know how reliable your source is because many other sources say she has 51,7% winrate plat+ and barely above 50% overall. Anyway, I am not against a Riven nerf if it comes in order. So nerf all the champions who have higher winrate than Riven plus those who have higher banrate than 50%. When it is done then nerf Riven. Until then stop crying about Riven when there are way more broken champions.
