Riven Needs A Nerf

She's just ridiculously tanky for building straight DPS. Instead of taking off from the DPS side of her though, which is the fun part, the tanky side should be curbed a little bit. Suggestion: My idea, which would probably not change much for the Riven player, is to have her shield decay rapidly over the duration. This way she can still front head-on burst with her shield, but sustained damage would still be effective against her. What do you guys think?

I honestly don't see her chosen very often, I know it sounds crazy, but compared to other champions she just isn't nearly as popular. Also there is more bad Riven players than good, although her difficulty is low. ALSO she really isn't that to play against, anyone can counter anyone with the right items. Therefore, for now, her kit is fine and really doesn't need change.

Good idea, at least it'd be a step in the right direction to see where it goes.

Seriously i would approve this, the shield buff was just too much for her. You cant get through that shield no matter what you do
