Riven health buff

Blade0ftheExile·Jul 20, 2016·6 votes·761 views

As someone who has begun to main riven, I find that she lacks the health currently needed to match up with most of her lab opponents most juggernauts obviously. What I'm not asking for is a tanks riven, hell no. Enough health to withstand the damage done from garen? Maybe Darius? They have like double her health and deal about the same amount of damage. Fair? Not to riven players. On the other hand there are other tops laners along with riven that are squishy as well, however most of them are ranged and or have massive CC or both. Ranged champion very quickly chunk her health, mainly TEEMO and Ryze those are the two I can think of off the top my head. Champions with hard CC counter riven pretty well regardless of who. In my honest opinion I don't think I'm asking for too much here...I just want my riven to be a bit more viable.

sure she can have a health buff.. AFTER you remove the AD scaling on her shield....

damn thing absorbs like 700 damage every 4 seconds

As a riven main I disagree with your statement XD

Unless your building full ad you wont have a 700 shield every 4 seconds without some cdr

I kind of agree, it really shouldn't be anything too major though... but she's pretty decent where she's currently at

Just slightly for a small bit of extra sustain

She could use a slight buff but she is playable and viable already. Just think of her as a worse fiora in terms of gameplay with more catchpotential because she has more instant burst. Her laning is tricky but manageable if you know the matchups. She doesnt really need much of a change ( because if she gets popular again she will get nerfhammered anyway and feel even worse then she feels right now ._.)

Like I said I'm not asking for much, I just think she's needs a bit more kick to match up to her lane opponents

Well ,shes not juggernaut.Also with her E shield up ,she has more hp than a darius or garen.

Extremely false

Riven has two forms of hard CC. If other squishy champions in top with hard CC can work, then Riven can.

Riven already has high mobility. She shouldn't get more health, that'd make it harder to kill her after catching her. And since catching her is already difficult to do against someone who can play her well, then giving her a health buff would just make her oppressive.

Just get better at her.

Sure you can have more health. Just gotta take a proportional amount of damage OUT 9f her kit at the same time.

Btw both those juggernauts you mentioned can't flip over a wall with Q so....again she has the tools to do her job and doesn't need more hp.

Blade0ftheExileJul 21, 20161 votes

Both of those juggernauts can 100-0 at times tho

So can Riven?

Riven is supposed to have low HP because she needs high risk high reward gameplay to be balanced. Is she was tankier early game she could easily snowball commonly.

Yeah, I really wish she was as good as Fiora, Irelia, or Jax who are Fighters like her but are more viable in Toplane, I wouldn't mind these buffs at all
