^That patch number implies it was a Season 2 patch? I really thought it was shorter ago than that lol.

@Johnnyboy: I have seen a great proposal some time ago at this page, which was basically this: Riven gains a resource with a cap of 3-5, and every ability usage (every of 3 Qs, every W, every E, both R casts) cost one. She regains 1 of her resource per X seconds (about 5, was the idea), and also regains one by using an enhanced autoattack.

This would do several things.

First off, all the bandwagon Rivens are gone. Boom. To the next OP champion.

Second, those who truly like Riven would need less than a week to play her as well as or even better than before, because if you play her exactly as she is intended, you are ALWAYS at your cap or, in the worst case, your cap minus two or three of the resource.

Basically, it wouldn't be nerfing her, as well as giving her a much higher skill floor and saying "if you're too stupid to play her right, you're not going to be able to play her at all and get a good result, because you'll not be able to use all your skills".
