I don't think she's overpowered.

I do think she's easy to play though. But by that I don't mean the usual "omg you just press Q 3 times and you kill your enemy gg report rito" bronze shittalk I always see people furiously typing when they loose to a Riven (even in Diamond).

More likely, it's the fact that the effort required to master her are inferior to how much she can help you carry. What I mean by that is : someone with average knowledge of the game (say Gold/High-Silver) can definitely reach a higher division (As far as Plat 3 or 4 I'd say) by playing Riven, without improving his knowledge or mechanical skills.

True, I don't play her a lot and I'm not quite high (in ELO) enough to pretend like I know how frustrating she can be in Master/Challenger, but I never quite found her to be that big of a deal at my ELO. Honestly I'd rather face a great Riven player than a good Yasuo player, and let's not even talk about Irelia.

She's one of THOSE champs. You can rarely come back from her getting first blood on you, and she doesn't fall off quite hard enough for how much of a lane-bully she can be. But she really only gets to actually snowball if her player (and don't take offence to that please) is better than you, or the jungler is smart enough to know how important it is for her to get the first kill.

So in short : I wouldn't change anything on her. She's one of those champs who either snowballs and destroys your whole team or doesn't and then just becomes a mediocre iniator during teamfights. I don't think she can ever be balanced in the way most of the community wants it to happen.
