I need to get something off my chest...

Riven A melee AA reliant champion. Theme: Warrior with magic RUNED BLADE KIT: ALL AD scaling >_> Resource: Cooldowns, No resource CC and utility: Knockup and aoe stun, mobility jumps (q), and dash with shield. Ult: steroid that gives her increased range, and changes to Q and W range, while giving her a one time execute.

Aatrox A melee AA reliant champion Theme: sustain fighter with magic living sword Kit: Hybrid, AD AND AP scaling.... Resource: HP/health CC: knockup Ult: Steroid that gives increased range, damage on cast AoE, and AS.

My main concern is everyone has there problems with riven that don't play riven, and every time someone says remove x y or z from her kit, everyone claims that it will gut riven flat out because she needs everything in order to do what she does. But Aatrox role wise is the same, has a knockup, a steroid ult, but the difference being that Aatrox has to manage a resource of his life, and he does not have a shield or hard stun. Aatrox is in an odd spot where he either stomps or does nothing for 50 minutes, as a fighter should fall of a tad but not completely when behind.

Also the fact that they both have implications of magical backgrounds, but Riven gets ENTIRELY AD scalings, but Aatrox has both scalings....

I just feel that it is funny that Aatrox is not super popular, can do well, and has no Stuns or shields which lots of people feel is the problem with riven and her kit. But if riven lost her ad scaling shield, or her stun was changed in some manner the world would end

Heres somehing else to get off my chest! (no not my chest hair :P) Nearly all marksman intended items don't feel like they are intended for Marksman.

item 3031 item 3087 item 3072 item 3153 item 3071 item 3172 item 3508 item 1055 item 3046

Notice anything? THEY'RE ALL SWORDS! A marksman is ranged why is it that 90% of their items are melee weapons?! The sole exceptions to this rule is item 3035 and item 3085 .

Like wtf Riot, this is a 6 season fail on your part! this foo pah should be fixed because right now it makes about as much sense as the almost completely abscence existence of bathrooms in the Star Wars and Star Trek universes.

On what planet is Riven AA reliant?

On what planet is Riven AA reliant?

The planet where all of her abilities serve to power up her Auto Attacks. Her Abilities don't do much on their own, but when you weave in the Empowered AAs, she hurts a lot.

Stop. You are making too much sense. The Riven drones heads might explode from overload of logic.
