When is Riven being gutted?

Honestly had enough of how broken she is. I mean I'd be completely fine with her if you needed to KNOW HOW TO animation cancel in order to roflstomp. That's not the case however. Instead, players only fist the shit out of their keyboard, NEVER AA'ING INBETWEEN HER SPELLS, and still outdamaging me beyond all hell regardless of what I dodge -- or how bad I outplay them, because her kit is just as overloaded as Thresh's [<-- compared to supports].

Like why can't her passive disappear within 2-3 seconds, so you're actually rewarded for her mechanics or even increase the cooldown of that shield [god help me, I don't know why she has a 500-600 damage shield on a 5-6 second CD, Id rather have the troll poll tbh]

Bait out her shield, then hit her when it's down.

If that's too much for you, you deserve to lose to Riven.

Kind of hard when you bait it out, then it's up before you can do something again :l

The idea is to fake-out an attack, making her overreact.

I'm a riven main, and I do understand your frustration. But Riven gets shit on very easily as long as you know how to play. Riven becomes instantly useless if she gets no kills, shes a lane bully. So stay away. There's a lot of all ins she can do, so stay away. If you play a Riven counter like Garen or Renekton. Build Sunfire to kill her. Armor beats the shit out of her, so does not dying. I get absolutely shit on by good players, you just have to know how to play your lane. It's really easy to abuse bad rivens too. I shit on bad rivens simply because I know how she plays. There's counter play, so learn it.

I am slightly bothered that a champion with so much damage early still gets to have lots of lategame damage a well. I tend to stay away from her as far as playing her goes though, I love her theme and how she looks and fights, but I'm not a huge fan of her kit
