Zed frustration

Why take away the animation cancelling in Zed's w+q combo? Riven retains her animation cancelling and for her it's an advantage. Zed without his "exploit" just feels gutted.

I think it is based on a few reasons... to me. See, Zed was using this to chop off animation from BEFORE his shadow spawns, basically reducing allowed reaction time. This meant that his lane aggression was hard to manage, and that he fell out of play MOSTLY because of the way team fights were playing out in high elo / competitive.

So why can Riven keep her animation exploits? Well you see, Riven chops animation off of the front of spells, however, she (usually) does this by casting a different spell before it! What this means is that you still maintain an adequate allowed reaction time.

While I am here, though, I do think that Riven shouldn't be able to increase her attack speed by nearly 0.2 through using Q and Move-command to interrupt auto animations. That is just me though.
