Riven's stats before 5.16 from http://champion.gg/champion/Riven/Top

Fluctuating between 52-53% lately The most picked top laner at a whopping 17.3% Banned in about 15% of games

Keep in mind these are all before the nerfs (ranging from decent to MASSIVE) to Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart, Thornmail, and Dead Man's Plate

It's not even worth convincing Riven mains at this point, just ban her and you'll statistically win more games

Just posted this as a reminder to all the sane people on this forum

Or you could get armor runes, play passively, don't give her kills, and outscale her with every bruiser in the game. But hey, past experiences mean nothing, amirite?

Your statement is incorrect. It's more like, "I tried to 1v1 a riven when I had full health, and was under my tower; while she had 3 bars. She killed me and took no damage, and got out before the second turret shot got off... I even had a level on her."

I will never ban Riven for one single reason.

She's not unstoppable, so even if she is stronger post patch I will figure out how to beat her.

I can't practice against her if she is banned, and once I know how to beat her regularly having her unbanned is actually a benefit to your team.

Exactly what I do. Can't learn to play against them if they are always banned.
