WHy is Riven so broken?

Loozer··5 votes·1,574 views

If vlad, Singed, or Garen isn't picked you go Riven. That seems to be the norm at my ELO. ANyways I just cannot comprehend how broken this champion is. She is a Dash, 3 leaps, AOE stun (that does dmg and scales with her AD), and shield, a knock up (CC), increased AD scaling, Abnoxious Ranged Attack, low CDs if she even has any, amazing apprehend capabiltities that even out do vayne's passive, with tremendous life steal/self heal. LIke what was riot thinking when they made this champ? hen she isn't healing herself she has a shield when there is no shield you are CC'd when you aren't CC'd your stuned. THe only counter argument is to stun her....really.....you know its not a counter when a stun counters everything.....Riven in so many words is a champion riot made so that awful players can feel important and relevant to the battlefield. I am not just here to point out riot's flaws because I suggest a simple solution. If you increase all of Rivens CDs such as her Q W E by .5 seconds each she will be balanced. You might say this is tooharsh, but when a Riven is 0/10/0 and 100 Cs behind you and can still take on you plus two more of your team mates there is something seriously wrong.

Heimer currently has a 66% win rate in Master tier with 118 games played over the last month. I think his lowest win rate in any tier is 52%. So that describes basically every ELO.

  1. Go Chogath
  2. Begin item 1029 and 5 pots
  3. Rush item 3110 , item 3742 ,item 3053 , and item 3075
  4. Congrats Riven does no damage to you at all even with armor pen! Max w in lane and you win!

Now the ap mid (maybe jungle) gets to 1 shot you because it took THAT many armor items to finally stop being molested by her.

Build MR and they shouldn't be able to deal dmg. She can't rape when she is silenced

Step 3: Congrats you have solved the problem of riven existing in your game!

Step 4: Pick Gayrius/any op top laner

As usual. Riven player comes to defend her overloaded ass champ but once one arrives they realize they have nothing reasonable or logical to say that CAN defend her and start insulting/calling out ELO rankings

She does not have any sustain in her kit, where are you getting that from?

Also, here is a list of all the champs I have beat Rivens with. Jax Malphite Nasus Renekton Garen Chogath Pantheon Shen

Keep in mind that I don't play half of these champs on a regular basis, and that there are a lot of other champs who counter riven that I don't play.
