Thoughts on how to balance riven

Hi guys, this is an attempt to make riven less "broken" (trash pun). I kinda understand why people hate on her alot, mostly because they over estimate her, but I promise there is a lot of outplay potential, targeted cc and snares destroy her.

People complain too much workout attempting and throwing ideas hope to make her more balanced and as a avid riven player and riven counter (ironic) I think there's some things that would help alot

1. shield scaling, yes it's op nerf that, buuuuuuut increase the shield base, this makes tanky riven a bit more viable so safe builds don't feel like trash, the cd feels a bit little but two things could make it feel better a) decrease how long it lasts or b) increase cd base by 1-1.5 seconds that would add .6 to watevs (can't math) to overall cd of building 40% cdr. I think instead of the radio being of additional ad it should be total ad like her q and maybe while at it makes her w like that too, this would help ridiculous snowballing but in return to the nerfed dmg her w stun should scale up making cc tank riven also viable.

2. q aa cancel, truthfully I have no idea how to nerf this, I think either making her att speed slower or removing it could quiet people, but a bid would have to compensate, I think decreasing her att speed but increasing base ad and q base dmg would even it out this making lucky crits feel less often (Cuz less aa would be coming out) also making Bork a stronger item on her (for faster aa cancels).

3. her with, I already touched on it but want to explain more, I think riven should be a champ where maxing any skill first should have benefits, increasing the stun duration with lvls would change hey overall play styles very different, you could literally do anything e max for safety w max for potential pocket pick supp, q for carry focused. also making it total ad ratio would help making assassin riven less "op" but with both of those changes she would feel better late game (presuming that you would than build some tank stats), atm she's not a bruiser as intended but a Fiora with cc

4. her ultimate and range, I think the range should be nerfed but the base dmg on her wind slash increased but max dmg decreased, her ultimate is at a weird place, bc the animation is long you shouldn't use it in the middle of your combo (that's how you outplay low elo Rivens) it's actually smarter in a lot of situations to use it at the beginning of a fight to place a nice chunk, or finisher if they're running away, what I think sucks is if your 50% hp and die to it or 100% hp and it does 10% to a squishy carry, increasing bar and decreasing max would help and this again making her more of a bruiser (not assassin). the range nerf would hurt alot but I think it's necessary to make her feel more balanced, than she needs to get up in your face to burst you down not kinda close and hitting you with all the aoe and ulting you to death.

5. make her into a true assassin (plz read while thing or don't bother, half way trading this makes me look stupid) wait wait wait, ik (how? she's sooooooo op) make her squishier, make her basically a mid laner another yas (ikik sounds bad). if they nerf the survivability but in return making her qs back into additional ad and increase base and leave w alone whilst nerfing e to . 4 additional ad, that would make her more viable mid, less viable top, and make the top laner riven players have to have better positioning and smarter fighting choices, but in return e would need to be buffed for base Cuz mid Lane they have crazy bad dmgs, this is unlikely bc I don't know how much they would need to nerf her base stats to make her more of a mod laner than top while also not buffing the dmg so she's op buff not buffing enough where she sucks against the poke mids, she should be able to nuke lux xerath and those mids if they smartly and basically always have to flash to get in range, but have a smart fight against yas Annie (unlikely) and still not being able to faceroll if picked top, this is hard but it may be what they need to do, make her mid and not top, she would need a looooooot of changes doe but making her an actual assassin could make hey play off her strengths more and weaker to her weaknesses (garen, kiting (yes that's possible) and cc)

these are just my thoughts plz don't hate this is kinda venting bc I like riven and hate all the "Omg there's absolutely no counter play to riven so opopopop" I feel like the community should at least throw out ideas of they feel something is so "op" thx for reading and see you guys in the rift!
