If we're buffing Riven, can we buff her counters, particularly Olaf?

Olaf is actually below 50% winrate unlike Riven. If I'm facing a Riven in 100% of games she's not banned in, I'd like to actually be able to go to top lane without exploding the moment I step outside my turret. Olaf actually needs buffs right now and he's one of the very few champions the keeps Riven in check.

late game i think Olaf has the advantage, Riven can be chain cc and be useless, Olaf can press R and dumpster the backline. But alas I don't play Olaf so I have no room to say anything.

Dude. Play Garen into Riven. Literally not even joking here next time you face a riven pick Garen. 100% counter

in what ? bronze/silver ?

garen only counters bad rivens.

Once you get higher elo and the riven is a dedicated one trick pony it becomes a skill matchup.

it becomes a skill matchup that favors garen heavily, riven is allowed to make very few mistakes compared to garen.

There are several champs that absolutely dumpster Riven in lane. Garen Renekton Jax Darius Pantheon Kennen Malphite Irelia Chogath Singed just to name a few.

However, I do agree that she doesn't need any buffs, she needs rework.
