Arcade Riven

While I'm not a Riven player, I do have to say that Arcade Riven seems like a total failure for one simple reason: the sword isn't broken. That is like the "it" thing with Riven.

True. But Riot are leaning more on the theme of UPGRADES (woot) than her actually base (broken sword) theme. Everything about Arcade doesn't take into account the character's base theme/idea/lore. Arcade = Uprgrades; Level Ups; Boosts

Also the basic looking sword is meant to reference those 8-bit or SNES or retro sword sprites.

Think of Arcade Hecarim. His base theme is of an undead overlord that likes to use souls to suck people's lives and what not. It completely throws that away as trash, with Arcade Hecarim.
