give riven a reason to not take a trade

as of right now she spams shields off of cooldown into minion waves, ignoring the dangers of the laning phase 'cause she can win in the dumbest of trades.

This. She has one of the lowest HP regens in the game and no innate sustain. If Riven loses a trade, or cuts one even, she lost it hard.

Camille negates any potential for trade.

riven is more broken than camille.

That is why Riven has a 3.7% ban rate in top tier play while Camille is 71%, gotcha.

Only her sword.

This is so she stands a chance against ranged top laners, otherwise minion aggro would kill her. :) I suggest instead giving other melee's tools to deal with minion aggro damage.

Not to tell a Riven main how to play the champ. But it is also important in melee matchups. Riven's lack of innate sustain and incredibly low HP regen already means she spends more money on pots than items(exaggeration). The shield only lasts 1.5 seconds and allows her to block single abilities/attacks or a single barrage of minion shots.

Yeah lets buff tough skin for melees only. But exclude riven from that category.

Quinn schitts on Riven

In my opinion though is that if you get countered hard a few games here and there it only makes up for the ridiculous hard carry that Riven is.

Karma is a biatch.
