You Wanna Know What Bugs Me More Than Flamers?

The players who wholeheartedly believe that Riven is an easy champion. Like, excuse me, what? Are we playing the same game, here? Are we talking about the same Riven? The Riven of League of Legends.

I just got out of a game where the Xin on my team was flaming our Riven, post-game lobby, saying she had "down syndrome" [which I, unfortunately, didn't manage to report, due to my being distracted trying to defend the Riven] because she ended the game 2/10 against a Tahm who literally rushed a Frozen Heart.

The Tahm knew what he was doing. Build armor, reduce Riven's attack speed, and profit. Riven did what she was supposed to do, as a result, build armor pen. It didn't help her too much, as Tahm is still a fairly tanky champion, by default, however, it did help, nonetheless. Our Xin, on the other hand, didn't build a single armor pen item, despite me repeatedly telling him [AND our "I'm assuming new to adc" Caitlyn] to build it.

Anyway, sorry about that tangent, back to the original topic. Why, no...HOW are there people who still believe that Riven is easy to play? Like, the Xin literally said that Riven is just a "faceroll champ that anyone can do well with". Well, that's funny because I've tried her on multiple occasions, and I couldn't win a game to save my life.

I even tried going to the Practice Tool for a couple hours to practice her animation cancelling. I couldn't even get the basic Q-auto cancel combo down. I spent almost 5 hours trying to learn just that one combo and still cant get it.

So, with that being said, how can these players possibly think that Riven is easy?

P.S. This is coming from a person who despises Riven, as a champion. I congratulate anyone who can play her well enough to do her MANY, MANY combos consistently. However, I still hate her.
