Riven Nerf

THIS IS NOT A CRY WOLF. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE IDEA.

So, I think Riven is VERY strong in skilled players hands. And in regular players hands.. a capable champion. However, I still have a nerf idea or so to speak for her, that isnt really a nerf, but just kinda change the way her passive works. Basically, her passive right now is:

"Riven 's abilities charge her blade for 6 seconds, causing her to deal 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% of her total attack damage as bonus physical damage on her next basic attack. The amount increases at level 3, and every 3 levels from there on. Riven can store up to 3 charges, and can only expend one at a time."

I think a good change to her would be to make it 20/30/40/50% tAD at ranks 1/6/11/16. It weakens her early game, strengthens her lvl 11 power spike because she gets that 40%, and slightly stalls out her lvl 15 passive to 16 instead. Making her passive scale with ult ranks, similar to a lot of other champs.

I feel this allows players to slightly catch up to her, instead of her just constantly getting an additional 5% tAD on her autos every 3 lvls. Wherein most rivens get like anywhere between 400-500 tAD. It really adds up.

I've heard AdrianRiven say that Riot wants Riven to be a midgame champ, which this does that for her, imo.

idk though, i just want to hear what other peoples thoughts are on this idea.

That could help, although I feel like R2 could lose a bit of damage since Conq + R cast give her a decent boost on top of her decent amount of AD.
