Can SA Kayn get no movement penalty after using Q.

Idk who you've been playing but it's definitely not. I regularly have my E back up by the time I've ulted and came out of someone.

Late game this is true in the truest sense of in-combo-out but earlier on it's more like you E into a fight, blow your load except ult and then save ult for when you actually need to--which is typically a few autos later before you are gonna die--and then ult and by the time the 2.5 ult seconds are up you have your E back.

It's never useful though, usually just means that you're gonna get hit the moment you activate it--especially since your ult is never the killing blow and you have to QW one more time before leaving.

one that makes her more balance-able

Master animation cancelling and kill everybody except the tank within one second or don't and feed horribly.

Yeah, great balance there.

No animation canceling makes her very difficult to balance. The reason being that a bad to mediocre Riven is going to be playing so much more different then a skilled riven that has hours of practice. You cannot balance Riven around both.

Although I'm a little scared as to what she would be without animation canceling. Removing such power would require buffs which would probably make her pretty brain dead and tanky.

Except for the fact that riot explicitly said it is a bug they specifically let exist?

Except Kayn has way more upfront damage than riven and overall shorter cooldowns. Compare his 7 second dash cool down that is equal to TWO riven Qs, with Riven's 11 second dash cool down. And I'm talking early game before cool downs are taken into effect. Late game, Kayn's CD goes down by 1.5 seconds. Riven's Q level isn't affected by CD, so unless she gets 40%, she has an 11 second CD Q, that scales down to 7 seconds. Kayn's has his under almost under 4 seconds on his Q. Remainder, his Q is equivalent to TWO Riven Q's and possible even an E. EQ isn't enough to close the gap of Kayn's Q from Riven's last standing place unless she moves up preemptively expecting the Q away.

People like to talk about Riven's dashes so much, they never take into account how short those dashes are... Not to mention, she's a sitting duck when her skills are on CD and doesn't have nearly as much fight potential and spammability as other champs.

you overrate Kayn Q dash. It's like one riven Q, not more. It's not that huge.

Thats still enough time to jump through small walls. And also it would make Kayn literally uncatchable in certain situations. Lets say Kayn is splitpushing bot 2 people try to flank him but he manages to get to the wall before getting hit, it's hard to actually hit Kayn once he is in sidelane wall, he gets 70% ms boost in the wall gets enough distance and then spams his 3s cooldown dashes, that assuming your buff does not interupt his movement. That would make Kayn's blue form beyond stupid and he would have to be nerfed in otherways, either increase his q cooldown by a lot, or give him Fiora treatment. Like if he hits q on a champion while dashing it's 3s cd, but if he uses it just to dash away then it's 7s cooldown or something.
