I want Riot to throw the Riven Changes Live

I've seen a lot of complaints on the boards that the experimental changes didn't go through the PBE patch, and is instead being pushed to next cycle. I've seen people believing this is a nerf to Riven when rather, would make her laning phase more abusive than ever. Oh, her ult doesn't scale off of percent missing health, and has a flat scaling that increases with her passive's resource percent scaling damage - it would seem like a nerf to people not understand the mechanics behind - hell I thought was a nerf, until my high elo friend who mains Riven (and trash talks) squealed in delight that he would be able to morely reliably execute with the Wind Slash active.

Noting that the spell weaving mechanic would effectively 100 to 0 any target, including tanks, due to the percentdamage increase along with armor penetration Riven builds naturally. The Edge resource would increase her shield, increase her overall combo damage, and make her a more reliable pick that would effectively punish enemy laners for even trading with her.

With everyone here hating Riven's kit, thinking the changes are nerfs, I want them to regret their words - so they'll finally understand that Riot will listen to them, and live with their opinion's consequences instead of looking at High Elo Opinions, or High Elo Mains based solely on their champion preference.

Love, Trash <3

I'm doubting how smart your friend is. The passive will not affect hew shield in any way, and her wind slash won't be any more reliable as an execute than it is now.

Her new passive effects her shield in no way shape or form.
