Considering Riven's mobility, I find it to be quite a problem when laning against her. The cooldowns can be fair early off, but with around 30% CDR she can escape most situations later on.

When attempting to make a trade against her, if Riven feels threatened at any point, she can easily make it to the other side of the lane, escaping most ganks and stopping the chance of an extended trade. The cooldown is fair enough without CDR that she can return to her last-hitting, and repeat the cycle. For someone who isn't planning on a gank, the only viable CC to bring her back is Blitzcrank, and I'm not about to put him top lane. No mana costs only enforces the absurdity of her ability to move around.

What if, for testing, they made only her Q's third strike dash, with an extended range about the same as her E, with the first two being able to be used while moving, as to not interrupt her flow by standing still to do a slash attack, Or, keep the range the same, but the first strike doesn't move her. If either situations, when tested, shows any average Riven user performing EXTREMELY worse, then it can be disregarded.

What do any of you think?
