Riven's auto attack during Q

Project Riven··5 votes·880 views

So I just did a long test and found out that Riven no longer needs to cancel animation to execute the most damage in the shortest time.

Her auto attack timer still runs during her Q AA Q AA Q AA meaning that her Q will not stall her to execute her auto attack.

This was due to a patch recently that fixed chain CC'ing. As stated by a Riot employee that they would implement a fix where Riven would revert back to where her Q animation must be completed before she auto attacks.

I made this video that shows 3 different ways of performing Riven's combo. They all started at the same time, and ended at the same time. More information are in the video description.

Any Riven mains want to chime in?

I haven't played in a while, when did they do this? And more importantly WHY?

Patch 5.6 or so was when they did the CC fix. Not sure why.

It must've been more recent, I could do the Q cancel as recently as 5.8?

You can still Q cancel, but as far as I know, it makes no difference since that patch that changed the chain CC.
