seriously,with 45% cdr she has a f***ing 3 SECOND COOLDOWN SHIELD.

like,what? i've seen champions get 100% crit with 2 items but seriously riot a champion with a 3 second cooldown shield that absorbs around 400-500 damage,that is also a gapcloser/escape?

i have another account and i recently bought riven and i'm starting to main her,but rito pls....item 3070

As a Riven main, I have to agree her cooldown on her E should be increased. Its effectively like being shielded around half the time. Not by too much tho. 10 or 12 seconds at ability level 5 is plenty. That makes it so she, with 45% CDR, either has to wait 5 seconds or 6 seconds for her E again. I would humbly like to ask that her shield time got bumped up by that half a second, tho. That kind of wait for a 1.5 second shield is kinda painful.

EDIT: Personally, I wish they went the distance and delved more fully into her fighting game inspiration and made her E a sort of Shoryuken, where she has 0.5 seconds of invincibility and knocks the opponent back JUST a touch, like maybe just outside of melee range or something.

Basically I'd prefer if her kit was more centered around dodging than blocking.

EDIT #2: Whoa... I support a Riven nerf as a Riven main and I DOWNVOTED? I think I love you all... [zombie-nunu-hearts]

Yes, her CD on her E is low at 45% cdr, (its actually 3.65 seconds) but it makes up for the amount of damage the carries on the other team will be doing later in that game as well. And also, Riven doesn't get 45% cdr till pretty late in the game. Her base cooldowns are actually RIDICULOUSLY high. I hate it when people say "OMG Riven has no cooldowns" when instead she sacrifices some of her damage potential runes to swap them for cdr as well as building cdr instead of damage.
