Can we Fix Riven's Dash?

Darkslayer85··25 votes·2,197 views

Seriously. Every other dash in the game moves in the direction of your cursor. What's up with Riven dashing the way she's facing?

Nidalee used to have her dash function like this, and it was changed to jump toward the cursor. Why has Riven been left behind?

I have to just add this to say it again, YOU DON'T EVEN FUCKING PLAY RIVEN FFS

Going to start off with this, you have the mmr of a high bronze player, you know jack shit about this game. And, you don't even play Riven to top it off.

Okay, so. This would fuck up fast q and double casts or even triple casts for that matter.

It's not really going to affect gameplay at all.

Can't go a day without hearing something stupid.

Doing this would lower the skill cap of Riven by just immeasurable numbers if anything. She already has a 10% pick rate in ranked - something you don't even play but you know all with your Bronze mmr don't you?

So doing this, low elo Riven's become rampant and high elo too. Riot see's this, nerfs the fuck out of Riven. Now where is she? She might as well be Aatrox Yorick

You make a good point, but if you're going to call someone bronze and go completely in on them, try not to be bronze yourself while doing so. http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/77659499

Either way, you're still bronze, know jack shit about this game, and don't even play Riven.

Lmao you're trash. Don't talk shit to a bronze player and say they don't know shit. He doesn't need to play riven in order to ask a question about her ability. There was absolutely no reason to all-in him. You're being a dick. There's no reason for you to be on your "lower account" on the boards because it's obvious someone is going to search your account if your being a dick to people on here lol. And it happened, now you claim to have a "higher ranked accounts." No one is going to believe that crap lol. Even if you were playing on your low acc recently and/or more often, there's no reason why you were on your lower acc on the league website. After your rage moment on someone who didn't deserve it, you were probably boosted on your "higher accounts" lol. I can't imagine what your team mates have to go through. You also tried using your match history to cover the fact that you're bronze XD. He doesn't play riven and is bronze? You defend yourself with a few decent games, STILL BRONZE.

Gold account.

I was on it asking a question relating to my ban.

Your attitude on the boards and asking about your Ban says your boosted. Im not surprise you were banned, even though I don't know what it was for.

OH SHIT HE IS GOLD IV BACK OFF GUYS.

If you are going to complain about ranks be AT LEAST Diamond 2. At least. Laughing at bronze when Gold is just shining Bronze is patethic and pitifull.

Edit: You have 115 Riven games but a 2.49 KDA. I am speechless. I have a better KDA with my first time Aurelion Sol.

Suleiman771 votes

Average of 9/6/5 with a 195 cs every game isn't that bad. Also, due to playing Riven in this elo I end up dying 3-4 times from just teamfights by having to engage.

CeexSett1 votes

6 deaths IS surely not good as well.

Also, if you are playing Riven "in that elo", how come you haven't carried out of it by now, specially with such a good champion to carry?

If you are not good enough to get out of gold (which neither am I, but the point of the discussion wasn't how good you were), then don't start raining with the insults on a bronze player, because Gold is just a Shiny Bronze.

Not enough difference that they are granted to "not know jack shit about the game" and "being trash"

If a bronze player is trash then we gold players are just aromathized trash.

Sure, compared to D3+ but if you play against a bronze or even a silver player you will see a clear difference in skill.

Just a standard Riven player guys. Normal toxic/shitty attitude. Just ignore him.

Sorry, I get a little wound up when people think that Riven needs to be changed in any way even though she's honestly the definition of balance right now.

It's k. I felt the same way when Taliyah was recently changed a month ago and people who didn't play her at all thought she was fine. It's all up to Riot to decide who to listen to for balancing.

Please make your point without resorting to insults. It doesn't hurt you to be civil.

ItzZeyro3 votes

why you be hating on bronze? you were bronze once too, and they are players also. you shouldve deny them a voice because they are the worst players

Suleiman771 votes

Because I realized how much I thought I knew about the game but still didn't. - I mean that's still very much the case, but this guy is talking out of his ass considering he doesn't even play Riven.

So, no need to be like this, even insulting people. You can just explain what you said without swearing some bad words.

I personally think the current mechanic is good and there is no need to change it. Sure it´s difficult and Nida´s jump was changed, but this adds value in knowing how to play riven correctly. Furthermore, people who are used to this don´t even notice it anymore. And lastly, you can also use E+Q to change in whatever direction you want.

In short, I think it´s a good thing it remains this way and adds difficulty in playing her. So you can actually tell who is good or bad with Riven.

Btw, if you are going to insult someone for being bronze, at least be high elo. Gold is nowhere high and is actually close to silver-bronze in terms of game vision/knowledge. It is just..you know... embarassing to see, someone in Gold insulting people below their rank xD

honestly you get backed up because theres tons of riven fanboys and in reality they are the trolls or if some arent trolls are just plain blatantly ignorant RIVEN WAS A MISTAKE

OMG no, as a riven main it is perfect, dont even think about touching it

Darkslayer851 votes

It'll still function relatively the same, it'll just be easier. Right now you need to click in a certain direction so Riven faces that way, and this delay can often result in dashing too late.

It might be because riven Is so awesome already, to give her any more advantages would be unfair! Btw Nid may have that now but she was nerfed quite a bit aswell...

This is just a QoL change tho... It's not really going to affect gameplay at all.

Serevas2 votes

Doesn't it though? According to the tooltips they dash towards the cursor, and I just tested it and both the Q and E dashes went in the direction of my cursor.

Darkslayer853 votes

I mean when she's not dashing towards a target. If you have her mouse on a target, she dashes to it. She dashes in the way she's facing if you don't.

Serevas2 votes

I literally just did it in a custom game in the fountain.

Was she already facing your mouse? Or was she facing away from your mouse?

she would have to learn a few tricks like backflips and such

I literally sent her backwards. So she was facing away.

why does this post even have so many upvotes we are already fed up with the unnecesary buff she got ? are we really doing this guys so many riven fanboys

I hate dealing with Riven, and I upvoted this anyway, because it's a crappy mechanic that shouldn't be on ANY champion.

Darkslayer851 votes

Riven isn't even that hard to counter, she has very predictable poke patterns and if you CC her right as she begins the animation of her third Q, it's almost free damage.
