When Riven was created was she intended to be a fair champion to play against?

Because there is honestly so much you can do and so much counterplay against a champion with 3 dashes, an aoe knockup, an aoe stun, a shield-dash that scales off 100% of her bonus AD, a massive steroid ult that ALSO grants ATTACK RANGE AND A CONIC EXECUTE, sheen for a passive that can also stack and to add more icing to the cake is resourceless and can animation cancel.

Excuse me but where is the counterplay against this champion? Where is the hole in her kit? Why is she so fucking frusterating to play against? Why does seeing her make anyone want to commit seppuku. Spare me the "She's all physical damage" like that fucking means shit, I've seen tanks with 400 armor get MELTED by Rivens that build all armor penetration because their is no reason not to on her, all her scalings are fucking insane, all her cooldowns are low, and all her base damages are also high - 2 of armor penetration items in this game give a low amount of AD compared to other AD items, but it doesn't fucking matter since all of her abilities scale insanely with AD.

Gut this witch.

I really hope the trend of listing all a champion's strengths as a way of arguing against them stops soon.

There were Ryze, Shen and Jax to erase her.

Oh, look, another thread that only lists what Riven's kit possesses and uses that as a basis for calling her overpowered.

Nothing interesting here, people, move along.

Naming a champion is not a valid weakness lol.

Never have had a riven that gave me trouble. They try to all in, I just parry then counter combo (tending to take 1/2 to 2/3 of their hp because Riven's stick in your minion wave). Which is why I said "other than that, idk". I can name a bunch of champs that kill her top if you want though? Irelia counters her hard. Kayle. Poppy (oddly enough). A well played Darius or Teemo. Another Riven.

Why should I? Can't you just grow a pair and learn to play the game?

Every single time I've dealt with someone who uses "Their kit can do this" as an argument, they pretend every weakness I can list doesn't matter. So I'm not going to hold your hand and teach you how to play Baby's First League.

Also, unless you practice hard and learn her inside and out (or get really lucky early game), she isn't the monster everyone says she is. It isn't about faceplanting your keyboard, Zilean "its all in the timing," and you don't have a second to waste.Ekko

counterplay? she is melee, all those dashes and whatnot you just mentioned? most champions (if not all) can cover the same distance, if not more, with their own single dash/blink. She only deals physical damage so build armor, most of her damage also comes from autos so a ninja tabi works wonder against her. Stop using "look at all the things she can do!" thing, it only makes you look stupid since i can do the exact same thing with EVERY SINGLE CHAMPION IN THE GAME! and guess what? it'll make even the weakest of champions look OP as fuck
