Riven need buffs!!!

I feel the larger reason why she has such a low win rate is for the majority of people still build her as a assassin.

Riven suckz pretty hard yeah, whatever, its not like this place will accept such a thread even if she is complete garbage, people just hate that champion in general

I've always felt that what Riven lacks is being able to last hit during an all out brawl. Yes, her Q puts her around and AoE's as well as buffing her basic; however, while she's busy flipping around doing damage, other heroes can get off 2 abilities and a basic while she's still in mid jump. Not to mention that it also feels like everything in the game is meant to interrupt what should be an uninterruptible attack - think about it, if she's flying through the air, she's still going to come down with that heavy blade of hers and do damage; the only type of attacks that should negate her Q should be stuns while she's grounded, or things like Poppy's Ult where it knocks her in a direction.

Example: If Malphite ults Riven while she's in air, she should either be able to avoid it, or continue to come down with her Q attack, after all she's in the air already, and he just tossed her up again - Kinda like Kirby in SSB with his down-B+up-B+down-B combo, just because he's hit in air doesn't mean his attack won't stop landing; the same should apply to Riven.

Also, in comparison, Fizz has the same basic mechanics, yet his moves further, makes him completely invulnerable, adds DOT, adds Buff, Adds anti-heal. Riven barely compares, and can't even make up for it in defense or hp.

I think that Riv just needs a small buff in her health and heath regen. It's seems way too low for her to be anywhere lately. The only thing that makes up for this weakness is her e's shield that scales with her AD. Without that she'd be dead over and over and over before really getting a chance to fight back.

She has the Akali syndrome. When she has a decent winrate shes extremely annoying to play vs. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see Riven buffs anytime soon.

Riven > Good times:

Summary: We lowered Riven’s base attack damage but increased her attack damage per level to compensate. Additionally, Broken Wings’ damage has been decreased and Valor’s shield duration was shortened. Riven’s burst damage is just too high at early levels, so we’re dulling her blade. Broken Wings scaling off total AD from bonus AD means that Riven will do better when she’s behind (because she won’t be able to buy so much raw AD), but worse when she’s far ahead. We’re reducing the duration of Valor to hit some of Riven’s flexibility in lane – if she’s going to rely on Valor’s shield to trade damage, she’ll need to commit quickly or risk losing the shield.

General Base attack damage reduced to 54 (from 56.7) Attack damage per level increased to 3 (from 2.7) Q - Broken Wings Damage per strike decreased to 10/30/50/70/90 (+40/45/50/55/60% total attack damage) (from 30/55/80/105/130 (+70% bonus attack damage)) E - Valor Shield duration reduced to 1.5 seconds (from 2.5 seconds)

Riven just can't get on par with the Strong tanks I really think that is the problem... If they could at least revamp the items for champs like Riven, Kha, Zed, Talon.. etc
