The Reason Riven is "OP"

Prospector Pete··2 votes·756 views

It's because she has a mix of cc, damage, and mobility. You can't escape from her, and you can't catch her. If she's coming towards you and hits you with her third Q, she can immediately follow up with her W and keep you locked down long enough to unleash her whole combo(on your entire team, all of her damage is AoE). If she's behind, she can just farm back into the game, and she has no resource(although that's changing soon).

I agree that I think her dashes should have cooldowns on them. SHE HAS NO COOLDOWNS when she gets CDR boots LOL... That's my only problem with her... I CANT GANK THAT SHIT

physically, riven isnt very strong and there are many stronger champions. her only power is to punish severe mistakes even more severely. if you play properly against her, there is nothing she can do due to game design.
