Riven rebalance

Rivn right now suffers from horrible deficiencies winning lane and winning game. Tanks own her, sustain owns her and ranged champions own her. However, a fed riven right now can be frustrating to play against because her damage with the strong legality stack is such big. We can try to rebalance riven from that sometimes feast or almost always famine identity by giving her some strengths that aren't just sound up in pure damage. I reccomend letting ever riven Q knockup targets and reducing the bonus ad ratio by .2. Skilled rivens or teamworky rivens who can either land consecutive Qs on the same target in the same place or have their targets locked down by ally cc can be rewarded with percent health damage and escalating knockup duration for Qing the same area multiple times. It can be a mechanic on the terrain like taliya's worked ground, where riven tears the ground asunder with repeated Q casts. This however will make riven's playstyle less mobile and more teammate dependent, you can let her recast E 3 times to compensate but reduce the sheild by 10 damage per rank so it doesn't get too strong. Overall, this would buff riven a little bit. What's more, the percent health damage can be true damage so that armor doesn't single handedly shut down riven forever. I'm 13 btw haHAA.

Ever played vs a first time Riven ? Easiest lane you will ever have. I have seen Rivens go legendary, becoming unkillable assassins by mid game. I queue up on Riven myself after and feed my ass off.

The short of it is that Riven is balanced. You must invest time into her to do well. Most people don't know how to play her, myself included and nobody with less than 5 games on her is going to be doing anything with her besides feed.

Good, that bitch doesn't deserve to be a good champ, just smack your face on the keyboard to get kills.

I enjoyed reading "legality" instead of lethality. Also, you have to break up your walls of text into smaller paragraphs; it makes reading text a lot easier.
