Hmm wat? do we forget why riot reduce the HP regen on riven? does riot forget that Riven is the only champion in the game that have an AD scaling shield with 100% ad ratio?

And now riot buff riven HP to much other champions with no shield at all? what next lets buff her ultimate CD because i guess 45% cdr is not enough? really riot really this where you going with season 6? really?

HP regen buff "smallest buff" right now if you poke riven is the only way to win top lane if you manage to poke when her shield is not UP

No guess what this will gone soon because she would have have normal hp regen....

I guess lets give her garen passive too because why the fuck no riven is "weak" and need buffs i guess...

You are dumb. Go look at her win rate after preseason patch. She has one of the lowest win rate out of all Champs at a whopping 44%.. This is literally the smallest buff riot could give to riven.

To be fair, a lot of people who had 50%+ winrates are really low now..

Can you like.. play riven before going all crazy and shit over something pretty much deserved? Higher cost of health pots made it harder to sustain in lane and your shield is the way around that. Which at low levels where you dont have much cdr is on a high cooldown.

The problem with Riven's actual HP5 is that she can't build regen out of it since it' based off her own regen. Not all champs were as dependant on potions to get health back. It's easy to hate Riven, but when you take the time to learn the champ, you can understand more how she is balanced and how to play against her.

She get +2 Hp5 at all levels. Her Hp5 at level 1 goes from 3.4 to 5.4. In a minute, she heals 24 HP more.

If you hit her an additional time in 2 min, you make up for that buff.

Even with this change, her HP regen is still bottom 10 at all levels.

When a once strong champion's win rate drops by a ton there is something wrong so that why riot did that .its still in like the bottom 10 hp regens at lvl 1

Riot completely destroyed her early and mid game itemizations, raised the cost of health pots (a universally bad move), and forced a meta so heavily reliant on oppressive right-clickers that Riven's one weakness (early game zoning) became her de facto death sentence.

You don't think there is a problem with the overall meta?

Riven's AD scaling shield should by all means be a monstrosity right now with the sheer amount of high AD fighter and bruiser items out there. Yet she plummeted to 44% win rate in her only lane. Why? Because of how item dependent she is at all levels. She lost her early game equalizer, she got gold-gated out of her only means of sustain, and her typical top lane match-ups got an item that delivers a 236% gold efficiency power-spike that synergerizes so well with two blatantly overpowered masteries that are pretty much useless for her. Made worse by rageblade also being completely useless on her.

Her only options in top lanes right now are incompetent opponents or build tanky and pray to survive; with the high cost of tank items and her complete lack of AP scaling means that a Riven that build tanky out the gate is a dead Riven.

But yes please state that a 0.4 per second buff is unfair or unbalancing. Let's not even mention the 62% Attack Speed, 32 AP, 24 AD, 20 damage minimum magic damage on hit cleave that maxxes at 4 AAs, 2500 gold item that her lane opponents are using...

45%CDR nothing more to say...a shield every 2 seconds with 100% AD ratio

"But muh early game"

It appears you think her shield is useful then at max CDR with minimal AD. If she builds to max her CDR then she suffers by having a shield that will be melted by 2 AAs at most by any rageblade top lane pick.

Her early game has always been her weakness.

You're just a rabid Riven hater that doesn't know the champ.
