Rivens entire skillcap is a gamebreaking bug that riot never fixed.

That you must exploit to get anywhere with the champ

rivens design is one big joke tbh.

Edit Yes every champion is capable of animation cancelling

but only riven is balanced around it and dependent on it.

Yes it IS a bug by definition

This is a issue because you can't buff riven as any buff she gets would be amplifed 10x by animatioan cancelling making her extremely difficult to balance as only the people who master this exploit can abuse riven to her fullest and everyone else can fuck off

Well... Alistar is on the same boat. His W+Q combo was never meant to be a combo.

Almost every champ has animation cancels...

If Riven was actually broken, she'd be picked/ban every single game. But she's not, because she isn't.

Like silly putty, it was a mistake, but they liked it, so they kept it.

R.I.P. EDGE mechanic

It was too edgy for us ;__;

Riven still has to wisely use her gap closers which are also attached to damage/defense. That kind of decision making is still an important part of gitting gud with her. Not too relevant against another melee champion, but it's not like half the melee roster has that issue...

(rework Riven)

So when you use her skills it crashes the game or makes it otherwise unplayable? Or do you just not know what a game-breaking bug is.

Animation canceling isn't really considered a bug. It is like a mechanic, a skill you must master. It separates good and bad Riven players.

you know any one with a aa reset has animation canceling right? , . Some champions have the ability to animation cancel their auto attacks. Some champs can animation cancel with flash.

I am pretty positive their are more but those are the ones I know of.

I would argue that it isn't really a glitch but more of something that was intended but eventually became a game mechanic.

Thats like saying bufferfly sword in "gunZ" was a mechanic when it was literally the definition of a exploit
