Repertoir on Riven “Frustration over her current state seems to be an especially western phenomenon.

Oh right because if our Korean overlords aren’t playing what we do it’s probably balanced right?

Remember that time they nerfed TF because of his dominance in Korean solo queue? Yeah me neither.

Funny thing is no one even cared he got nerfed except the Koreans.

When they say "only the western audience cares" what they mean is "China loves it so we won't do anything."

China has more people than NA and both EU servers combined, I'm sure so they singlehandedly dictate everything riot does.

AIDs champ that will never get touched because too many people play her and will bitch and moan when she gets the nerf she deserves. Gotta sell those skins, amirite? xD.

I guess its back to permabanning her.

Doesn't seem to be near the strongest option in the game.

Since when has Riot ever only nerfed the strongest stuff?

Nah riven doesn't seem to be strong. A champion where the subreddit claims they need THOUSANDS OF GAMES to learn the fast Q combo and another THOUSAND OF GAMES to learn how to EQ cancel sits at top pickrate and 55% average winrate.

Doesn't even statistically lose to champs like kennen anymore. Who destroy and i mean destroy every single melee champion in toplane.

Nah doesn't need nerfs you are right riot. Every bruiser is fuckin dogshit now thanks to the nerfs to the items, runes to preserve your money milker overlord champion. What a fuckin disgusting bunch of apes sitting their at riot. Lucian, ezreal, draven too strong? Let's buff every adc to their level. Riven is too strong? Let's nerf every bruiser directly, their items, their runes, rework the rune and nerf it three times again. Leave riven untouched.

Are we gonna balance things only around koreans now? Because balancing a game around proplayers is already stupid enough from the point if view of game theory.

Instead of getting butthurt, maybe you guys should show curiosity as to why there is such a different perception across regions.

Maybe she is a noob stomper and us westerners are all noobs

I guess purchasing RP a couple times with $USD was my fault. Won't happen again.

Riven has higher winrate on KR, lower banrate tho.

Everytime a rioter does anything, it just seems like they are willingly digging the game's grave even faster

I dont understand why "player frustration" is even a mentionable factor with Riven.

Before you should even get to the point of community evaluation, you should:

Look at her play rate Look at her win rate Look at her ban rate

Why is player frustration even a consideration when you have these metrics to examine first?

Like how do you look past her stats to arrive to the point of evaluating frustration in the first place?

You would have to build a freaking tower of Babel to get high enough to overlook Riven's problems, and start worrying about unrelated shit in the distance like "which region hates this champ the most?"

Meanwhile Kench is probably going to get nerfed again and he's sitting at a 43% winrate.

There are more than just the Korean servers in the East. Also supposedly NA is the majority of the players that feel damage is too high and most other regions feel that damage is in a fine spot. Like it goes NA>>>>>EU>>>Korea>China.
