Here we at it again, Riot uncapable of straight up nerfing shit

So Riven might get higher CD on her E, nice. One catch. They're gonna decrease the CD on her Q.

Like what the fuck? Why can't you just straight up NERF her? Why does she needs compensation buffs?

Agreed.

Nerf Riven directly instead of nerfing her items/runes and thereby probably accidentally (knowing Riot) nerfing every other champion that relies on these runes/items.

**Nerf Riven. Stop compensating. **

Yes they can, just not to popular/generalist champions.

They don't hesitate to hit niche/uncommon champions with the nerf bat whenever they see the light of day.

They can't risk her winrate dropping below 55%

She isn't the problem, items in this game are the problem. Spear, death dance, and black cleaver need to be hit guinsoo is already getting hit but phantom hit as a mechanic is bullshit in itself. I keep seeing "everything is doing too much damage" maybe riot needs start looking at the items and runes that enable that also 40% magic pen in 1 item can screw off

No she's never the problem. She's just the only champion that always becomes a problem when itemization changes. But it's not riven, it's the items. We should nerf every single champion that uses conq, black cleaver, SoS and DD so that riven in the end is still overpowered while every other champion got nerfed. Smarts ideas from boards again. Can't wait for my favorite nami otp to tell me how fun tanks in toplane are.

Ah yes, a whole group of relatively balanced champions should be sledgehammered by nerfing their core items because Riven abuses them better than other people do. It's definitely not that high level Rivens have near infinite mobility, animation cancels to do stupid dps, two stuns, a shield, and a multitude of ways to deny counterplay.

And by the way, Riven has a crit build as well as the fighter type build and they're both nuts, so she is most definitely the issue. Not saying items aren't sometimes the issue (old Stormrazer), but what you're saying is basically the equivalent of people saying Iceborn is the problem and not Ezreal even though tons of tanks use it and it's balanced for them.
