RIVEN PLEASE.

RIOT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO SOMETHING ABOUT RIVEN.

Okay, screaming aside, I'm dead serious about this. Just got out of a game where a riven walked up into our entire 5 man group (including 2 tanks), pressed Q 3 times and got a quadra-kill, then walked away with over half-hp because of the ridiculous shield every 6 seconds.

She is by far and away the champion that has caused the most toxicity in any of my games (far more than any bs dmg from a nidalee spear). She is the only champion in the game which entirely sucks the fun out of the match simply by her existing in her current state.

No other champion has as many initiates/escapes/chases, what with each proc of her Q and her E jumping her forward and/or through walls. If a riven wants to chase you, there simply is a 0% chance you will make it out seeing as she can dive turrets starting at level 3 with zero items. Know what? For good measure let's just throw in a damaging, aoe stun on top of all that. Cause that's a fun thing to have.

Oh and you know what's also cool? When she's resource-less as well.

She is the only champion that I will ALWAYS ban in ANY scenario. I don't care what the situation is, she is on my ban list. The 2nd guy on my team wants to play her? I couldn't care less, she's banned. The other team doesn't even own her? Idgaf. Banned.

Please Rito, change her somehow. There no times in the game where trying to fight a riven is anything close to a fun gaming experience.

Let's be honest here, guys, there really isn't such a thing as a 'counter' when it comes to riven. Come on, Garen? Renekton? Pantheon? Darius? All of these supposed 'counters' get brutally violated by riven as soon as she hits level 3.

I didn't come here just to whine and bitch, though, I've also got a few suggestions on how to (sort of) balance her out a little. Now idk/idc if these ideas have been posted here before, I'm just throwing out what I think could be some positive alterations.

1: Make her require mana. 2: Make her use energy. There's a reason Zed/Kennen use energy. It's because having a Zed that could eternally chase you across the map with his shadow dashing, or a Kennen who could always use his speed boost to chase you would be ridiculous and unfair (sound familiar?). 3: Make her Q build up stacks over time. Pretty self-explanatory here. Every...8 seconds shall we say, she gains one stack on her Q (rather than allowing her to use all 3 procs every time the basic cooldown ends). This would allow her to keep a core part of her kit (jumping in, bursting everyone down and then E'ing out), but would make it so that she cannot chase after you without end if you survive her combo. 4: Make it so that the 2nd and 3rd proc of her Q are only available if the 1st proc hits an enemy. 5: Lengthen the cooldowns. Basic, I know, but would make playing against her significantly less painful for anyone.
