riven feels harder to play

This recent patch has cut her early game down and with most games not even lasting 30 minutes she can't even hit her late game potential

riven has a 44% winrate now, nerfing her and now this patch destroyed her. She lost over 6% winrate. Good job riot deleting a fun champion with unique kit btw, if some riot guy reads this. At least the last time you did that it was just akali with a stupid and old kit. This time you simply dumbstered one of your better designed champions. Its not like she was REALLY good before that nerf either and this just makes her a troll pick like zed. This board must be really happy right now with their anti riven hate finally making her poppy level of shit.

As a true Riven main, I'm happy that she is not in "go to carry and stomp" state anymore. Now is my time to shine.

Good, I'm glad she got harder to play. She's completely ridiculous, I can't even count how many times people have asked to nerf this woman, yet most of the time Riot ignores her. Honestly if they nerf Yasuo/Trynd go right ahead and nerf Riven. Although I do enjoy seeing Box Box play Riven, I just really dislike that champion, I can understand why people like her though, but I still dislike her, her kit feels overloaded to me.

It's just my opinion out of like millions of people, so don't take offense to it, haha.

Riot's commented on this on reddit. People seem happy with this as now Riven actually takes some practice to play, and newer players aren't stomping anymore, having to require actual skill. Also take into account dilution of the winrate due to her popularity.
