If she loses lane, she's completely useless all game.

If she gets spoon-fed (Which happens a lot in low elo) She becomes completely obnoxious.

Can we please find a balance? I love the champion but after the mastery changes and Item changes, she just doesn't scale properly anymore and is a noob trap, Nomatter who you look at it. Noobs feed with her and other wise she is the go-to elo boosting champion.

She's been ruined for me.

Feast/Famine pattern, still found in most assassins. Along with things like Yasuo

That's what hyper carries are supposed to be like. She can't kill you level 1, but she's still a powerful champion and plenty could argue she's almost better than she was 4th season since She has so many items she can build. Mainly the new night item giving her an additional ability she can not be damaged by during battle. Making her a Really good mid laner right now.item 3814 item 3102 item 3156 item 3508 item 3072 item 3812 item 3074 item 3748 item 3065 item 3139 item 3142 item 3031 item 3071

This is so completely untrue, as Riven is a lot less feast or famine due to having 2 AoE hard CC abilities which still allow her to be tremendously useful in a teamfight, as well as execute damage which is decent for cleaning up 1/3 health ADC's and Mages (although you can't kill them from 1/2-2/5 health like you could if you were fed).

I just lost my lane, not hard, but a kill, 16 cs, 3 assists, and eventually a tower. Then we grouped mid (at our tier 2, enemy managed to force the tier 1 with their bot and top lane advantage), and I was plenty effective against their Zed, Ashe, and Cait.

So that's a great example, isn't it? Lost lane, still did well.

Plus Lethality is amazing, scales with your opponent's level which means you can deal with the enemy's fed mid laner or ADC easier, while also being simpler to combo with than Tiamat :P
