Seriously she maybe the most broken champ in the game. It doesn't matter if I outgear her, or out-level, her powerspike and burst are ridiculous. So please riot review riven, because she's ruining every ranked game i've seen her in.
mvargus3 votesConsidering that Riven gets smashed by most competent challenger players and isn't all that common at the top levels of the game I doubt Riot is going to "fix" her. The truth is that she's not broken and if you look at the stats for Platinum and above she doesn't have a win rate above 52% for any matchup in ranked. (and is below 48% in several matchups at that level). In the last week at all levels she had a 50.10% win rate.
I find it funny that Riven gets so many "nerf her!" posts. She's not that good. Her abilities in the hands of someone who has the rhythm to play her can be scary, but even then she's one of the weaker fighters in League stat-wise. If you don't allow her to bully you early, she can be defeated.
Just remember about her level 6 power spike and make sure she can't burst you when it comes up.
DrMarshSwamp2 votesIf nothing else I think the time she has to cast the second or third casts of Broken Wings needs to be lowered a bit, maybe to 2-3 seconds.
ZephyrDrake2 voteswhen you get good you Riot will nerf her

1v1 anytime bud. And it's not about me being "good" or not, according to your definition, it's the gross imbalance she brings to the game, against my entire team. I assure you everyone that plays riven isn't necessarily skilled, it's just the champ is incredibly broken and needs some adjustments.

"1v1" sure, why don't you stop picking the same champs against her over and over and actually pick champions that can actually fight against her. There are quite a few champs that can, whether they are poke champs or in your face champions. Build armor, pick ranged champions, pick good duelist, pick safe champions. Stop trying to 1v1 her with champions that cannot 1v1 her. She is far from being broken and if you spent 5 seconds using that brain of yours you would figure out how to beat her.

-1, not helpful. you should give specific strategies (SPECIFIC! particular champions, and particular strategies), not just say "use your brain". you may as well just not post at all.

-1 not smart
you can't expect everyone to spoon feed you things. You might as well not bother playing then
Quil Evrything1 votesOh, okay, sure. That makes sense. I'll just go ahead and tell places like mobafire and lolpro, that they should take down all their in-depth guides, because "ZephyrDrake says people should just not bother playing, rather than getting detailed help"
Yeah. mkay.
Cain the Enabler1 votesLiterally the only thing bad about Riven is her snowballing early into mid game. Broken Wings level 1 with her passive IS broken. That being said many sub Gold top laners dont realize Riven will beat ANYONE level 1 and proceed to feed first blood. Then they die again and again.
Solution: Build cloth 5 and wait for a while before trying to fight her. She will push. Now lets talk mobility. Again Broken Wings is BROKEN! riot pls remove her wall jump.
