Riven Early Jungle

Was curious as to the effectiveness in the jungle since her recent nerfs. The reduced shield time means she no longer is able to block 2 atks on it anymore and the recent HP/5 nerfs have also made her lose more HP (from not regening). Yes she did have a bit better wave clear with the fact that BW now scales with total AD, however that does not compensate for the much harsher early game.

Any possibility to push up shield duration by .25-.5 s to allow her previous jungle survivability?

From what I've read, she falls behind easy if stopped early (do not pick her against a lee sin or elise) but has carry potential. Overall she's high risk, high reward. I haven't tried her jungle since the changes, but I imagine her early jungle is a little rougher now.

I only post this since i really love her in the jungle and i really dont have any issues with her in the jungle before these last two patches, but it has become slightly difficult pre lvl 5-6.
