Those Riven "nerfs" you gave her weren't really nerfs.

Movement speed lowered. Wind Slash's speed reduced.

Known for fast-paced combos and even faster executions, Riven's a flurry of strikes and shouts that every solo laner has to pay respect to. We're toning down this blade-wielding blitzkreig by shaving some of her mobility and reliable damage, meaning she'll have to rely on getting up-close and personal with her abilities if she wants to enjoy the same level of effectiveness. General MOVEMENT SPEED 345 ⇒ 340 R - Wind Slash MISSILE SPEED 2200 ⇒ 1600

This was more like, a tap on the wrist.

Here is a nerf that actually make her a more balanced champion. Runic Blade Riven's abilities charge her blade, causing her basic attacks to deal bonus physical damage. Riven's blade may be charged up to three times and expends one charge per attack. (Take this off of her kit so that people would have to learn how to Animation Cancel)

Valor Cost: No Cost Range: 250 Riven steps forward a short distance and blocks incoming damage. Riven does a quick dash in the direction of your cursor and becomes shielded, blocking up to 90/120/150/180/210 90/110/130/150/170 (+80% bonus Attack Damage) incoming damage for 1.5 seconds.

Blade of the Exile Cost: No Cost Range: Self Riven empowers her keepsake weapon with energy, and gains Attack Damage and Range. During this time, she also gains the ability to use Wind Slash, a powerful ranged attack, once. Riven's weapon surges with spiritual energy for 15 seconds, granting her 20% extra Attack Damage (+30% bonus Attack Damage), increased Range on her damaging spells and attacks, and the ability to use Wind Slash once. Wind Slash: Riven fires a shockwave that deals from 80/120/160 (+60% bonus Attack Damage) (+40% bonus Attack Damage) to 220/330/440 (+100% bonus Attack Damage) 240/360/480 (+180% bonus Attack Damage) physical damage to all enemies hit, increasing based on how much Health they are missing.

Just thought that this would make her more of a balanced champion....

How about making her Q cooldown start upon using the 3rd hit?
