THEY STILL WONT NERF RIVEN

LemonSquash23··6 votes·927 views

Every game with Riven top feeds then we die all of us die. Just take the ult to a higher CD or something. Or you can make the stun shorter or maybe make the q so she can only do it three times. Riven just gets on my nerves she has only one counter Fiora.Most people don't like Fiora anymore cause of the nerf but fiora is very strong and I main mid so I cant really stop rivenitem 3070.

SHE'S STILL NOT BROKEN

You're really funny. Explain how she's not broken.

She dies way too fast in teamfights, all you literally have to do is not die to her and she won't do anything come mid to late game. All of her items are incredibly expensive save Youmus, giving you plenty of time to keep her down before she starts rolling, all of her damage is local, leaving her Kiteable as fuck, in lane her health regen is shit so you basically camp her and she either has to base when she gets too low, or you kill her. Riven has plenty of ways to be dealt with. She is not broken. Mordekaiser is broken, Worlds Fiora is Broken, Worlds GP is broken. Riven is strong.

"All you have to do is not die."

That is the most generic advice you can give.

"I don't wanna go to an underground fight club, I don't wanna die!"

"Then don't die."

Not mocking you, but that was what came up in my head. Back to the subject;

Riven is ridiculously good if you play her right. If she was that easy to simply counter, people wouldn't be playing her in LCS and in Challenger, etc. Her teamfight is crazy good if you use her kit right.

She isn't broken though. She isn't destroying the worlds scene with her presence like Mordekaiser is. Pick or banned for every game except 2, with most of those games being banned

Never said she was broken, I said she is really good currently. I think fixing some of her numbers would make her easier to deal with, without killing her completely. That's my opinion though.

Sorry but riven is broken, just cuz she hasnt had a huge presence in worlds doesnt mean she isnt broken. and shes really hard hard to kite with all of her dashes plus her two aoe cc's and aoe execute. also saying her hp per second is low is a retarded excuse seeing as how its extremely hard to even bring her low due to her ridiculous trading potential and low cd shield.

Your inability to deal with her doesn't make her broken

You liking a champion doesn't make them balanced.

You not liking a champion doesn't mean they need changes.

See how worthless this discussion is?

I don't play Riven.

she has only one counter

Renekton Garen Fiora Darius Malphite Chogath Shen Trundle Volibear Tryndamere Yorick Swain

Quite a few of her matchups are skill-based, but that doesn't mean many champions aren't capable of handling her.

You forgot Lissandra and Kayle.

dont think she needs an overall nerf. rather a fix to the animation cancelling bullshit, that allows her to unleash her entire chain on you in the time youre stunlocked by her.

rivens problem is not that shes op, but rather that shes incredibly cheesy.

its the same problem as with annie. if she flashes on someone, she kills him before the stun wears off. lategame she usually doesnt even need the ult for that. ive literally seen a riven kill someone from full health in half a second. the guy must have been scripting or something.

Riven is being changed, I believe. I think it's an overall nerf to her since she'll now be given a resource, but I need to revisit it.

But yeah, Riven is feast or famine, but in the hands of someone who knows how to use her without feeding, she becomes a blatantly unfair champion. Riot is reworking Poppy for the same reason, except Riven has a more stable laning phase whereas Poppy is incredibly exploitable. Needless to say, Riot makes a lot of exceptions for inconsistent balance for whatever reason.

The edge mechanic was reverted, as it was rewarding unskilled Rivens for being unskilled and punishing Expert Rivens for being experts
