Riven is the most cancerous toplaner BY FAR, BY FUCKING FAR. LITERALLY THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO BEAT HER, NOTHING.
I main jax, ok? but not the juggernaut jax that riot forced us to play but the duelist one (
) Duelist jax is supposed to be (at least at one point was) the best duelist champion which could beat every melee champion in toplane. Riven was never an exception, why is she now?? BECAUSE SHE WAS LEFT BUFFED AND UNLIKE MOST CHAMPIONS SHE NEVER GOT BALANCED. WHAT IS THIS?

ok i get that back then she was at a weaker state but COME THE FUCK ON!!!
And riven mains think this is balanced? A CHAMPION THAT CAN NOT LOSE TO ANYTHING?! HECK, WITH THIS DAMAGE AND COOLDOWNS SHE CAN BEAT EVEN GAREN NOW, FUCKING GAREN, THE BIGGEST RIVEN COUNTER!!!!
The op strategy to beat every melee champion? q in q again auto, w, auto, e back out and q to get even more distance. And all that in 3 seconds. Renekton used to do that back in the days (some old players understand what I mean) but since it was obviously cancerous, riot nerfed it. BUT RIVEN SELLS TOO MANY SKINS FOR THEM TO DO SO, DOESN'T SHE? SAME WITH VAYNE. But oh no "she is just a NA frustration".
Riot, get your hands off your pockets, start playing your game (THEY HAVE ADMITED THEY DO NOT PLAY LEAGUE) and fix the champions like you used to because many people don't know that, riot used to balance the game just fine (remember when evelynn was kept in the shitter on purpose? because leaving stealth and bursting people, riot knew it was broken? Yeah good days).
But i don't want to just rant. I have a solution! Some balancing that could bring riven back to a balanced position.
Passive
Current:
Runic Blade
INNATE: Riven's blade gains a Charge for 6 seconds every time she uses an ability (stacks up to 3 times). Riven's basic attacks consume a Charge when available to deal 25% − 50% (based on level) AD bonus physical damage.
Fix:
Runic Blade
INNATE: Riven's blade gains a Charge for 3 (either use everything or gtfo) seconds every time she uses an ability (stacks up to 3 times). Riven's basic attacks consume a Charge when available to deal 15% − 60% (based on level) AD bonus physical damage.
Her build is pure ad, her current passive is too rewarding at laning phase but with the increased damage she would still be good and even better at late game teamfights.
Q
Current:
ACTIVE: Riven Dash dashes towards the target nearest to the cursor or in the direction she is currently facing, dealing physical damage to all enemies in front of her. Broken Wings can then be reactivated twice within the next 4 seconds, with the second cast refreshing the timer.
PHYSICAL DAMAGE:»
15 / 35 / 55 / 75 / 95 (+ 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 / 65% AD)
Broken Wings' third cast damages all enemies around Riven in an expanded radius, and Airborne icon knocks them up. Riven can cross terrain during this cast.
Each Broken Wings cast causes her next basic attack to occur more quickly. This is not considered a basic attack timer reset.
Fix:
You know, this is her main damage source so, this should not change, except THE LAST THING
Each Broken Wings cast causes her next basic attack to occur more quickly. This is not considered a basic attack timer reset.
this has to fucking go. Why get auto reset? What the reason? Isn't her q damage enough?? Answer: yes it is enough. Oh and maybe that q knockup hitobx? Yeah that is broken.
W
Current:
EFFECT RADIUS: 125 / 135 COOLDOWN: 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7
Ki Burst
ACTIVE: Riven's sword emits a burst of runic energy that shocks nearby enemies, dealing physical damage and applying a stun for 0.75 seconds.
PHYSICAL DAMAGE:
55 / 85 / 115 / 145 / 175 (+ 100% bonus AD)
Fix: That radius? Lowered, 115 / 125. She either q on you and w you or that WILL NOT HIT. CD from 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 to 15 / 13 / 10 / 8 / 6. Right now, she has too low cooldowns in lane which makes her way too easy to play. this fix forces her to time it well early on but have it on lower cd at late so that she can still be strong. Also that bonus ad, scaling on w level reaching up to 110%.
E
Current:
TARGET RANGE: 325 COOLDOWN: 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6
Valor
ACTIVE: Riven Dash dashes in the direction of the cursor, shielding herself for 1.5 seconds.
SHIELD STRENGTH:
95 / 125 / 155 / 185 / 215 (+ 100% bonus AD)
Fix:
That shield, that damned shield. This makes her impossible to 1v1. Range must be lowered to 290, cd to 13 / 11 / 9 / 8 / 7 so that there is a 1v1 window to her and finally the shield ratio should remain the same (because it would be too weak if it did not shield that much) and again, bonus ad ratio DECREASED to 25% maxing out at 75%. Obvious reasons.
R
That fucking execute wannabe R
Current:
COOLDOWN: 120 / 90 / 60
Blade of the Exile
ACTIVE: Riven transforms her sword for 15 seconds, gaining (20% AD) bonus attack damage, 75 bonus range on her basic attacks, increased range on Broken Wings, and Ki Burst, as well as becoming able to cast Wind Slash once for the duration.
What is wind slash? A wave that does up to 200% more dmg based on your missing health with a minimum damage at lvl 1 being 100 +60% bonus ad (so it becomes like 160 with 100 ad if she casts it when you are full hp, still cancer) and max rank being (lvl 1 always) 300 +180% bonus ad. Hmmmmmmmm oh also it has an effect radius of 900....YEAH
Fix:
Yeah, lets have a look at Wind slash.
Damage, 0 - 100% based on missing health,
Range lowered to 60
Bonus ad at max rank lowered to 120% because that much on a lvl 6 1v1 is impossible to beat even for tanks (btw, did you know what you can totally counter riven by building armor? Yeah thats at the death recap tips and it is totally -100% acurate)
And the radius lowered to 700 because 900 range combined with LoLtm hitboxes is broken as fuck
Oh and now i notice it, bonus range on q and w? I don't get it, do they think that riven players are braindead thats why they give them such help? Yeah, get that shit out of here, make it to give only on q so she can catch fast targets.
And that is pretty much it. With these changes she should be good to go.
?
Graves for me) instead of champions that i feel that i allways get dicked by ( 
Vayne) as a 
Nunu 1 trick.
