I'd have actually preferred a cooldown nerf, since it would reduce your trade frequency, but not the viability of those trades in their own right. The Q nerf does enough to that on its own, I think. The new Q encourages staying in lane (reduced roaming potential with Q [necessarily] maxed), but the reduced power in both those abilities makes staying in lane less-attractive.

Essentially, the changes hurt Riven in all of her roles, so I'm not really sure what she's supposed to do, at this point.
