Riven Buff - Thank you, about time

Riven is so weak early game its not even funny. tell me one opponent she can face straighg up 1v1 that wont destroy her /zone her pre 6??? I main riven i know the hardships, a super split second shield means u had better time it absolutely well. a Q that does 10(+30ish) dmg lvl 1 is laughable since u will b using it to gap close. so to all those saying that for her to be able to fast combo is too massive a buff must not b riven mains. good for u if u can auto-q-move theb righg click back onto target. i cant tell u how many autos i have canceled trying the "fast combo" and when u dont try fast combo then u better disregard any sort of Burst it takes forever. no other champ in the game suffers from such an awful mechanic. most champs may have a skill that resets auto attack . kool. and so dods riven except if u keep ur mouse on the target and q auto q auto ur in for a lengthy time frame to use your rotations of skills.

thank you riot i hope u dont listen to the other riven mains who believe that this mechanic is all their is to this champ. i mean i cant think of any other champion being thought of as such a buggy mechanic. i tell u the trith u will cancel so many autos or clicka minion trying to fast combo that this will indeed make her far more viable. thanks again

This is not a buff. This is a QoL change for people who have not mastered Riven. This changes literally nothing for good Rivens who still can't really play Riven because of the meta.

It's not a buggy mechanic. Animation cancelling is in Dota and in every fucking fighting game. Amumu

Um... you do understand that the changes to riven were not intended and last I checked still in limbo for actually sticking around.

You did know that you could also already do this in game if you are really good with riven or setting up a macro.

u guys r sorely mistaken. you can animation cancel her autos with Q. but you can cancel her Q animation with right click move. so what this means is unlike any other champion, bcuz someone who has high clicks per minute will outdamage someone who does not. i cant think of any other champion that a bronze player doing a combo with that a challenger player can do more damage. lets take renekton for example, lets say level 1 u have Q and hydra, sure u can cancel sum animation with hydra but with riven a slow lumbering q auto q auto compared to a q move auto repeat is a huge difference . i dont think people understand what this change is , even if unintended. canceling ur auto animation is fine with q however the buggy mechanic of canceling q animation gives riven a unique buggy mechanic that simply means your dps is calculated on how fast u can click.

ill leave it at this. if they go thru with this it will make rivens skill rotations comsistant, so as to not be limited by a quite strange mechanic/bug.

every riven player will b able to combo at same dps. is a good thing jn my book.
