Talk:Riven/@comment-36067310-20190317195700

Even after the conqueror nerfs, riven is STILL the number one top laner, which means now it’s necessary to directly nerf riven.

The only thing that is holding riot back for nerfing riven, is because they can’t stop sissying about the fact that riven takes “skill,” which I find to be complete bull, because the only reason why it’s hard to manage riven is because the way you can aim Riven’s Qs and her E is not like a skill shot, because they just had to make it aim **based on where you are facing**.

Now let’s talk about how is the best way to nerf riven, and that is to increase the cooldown on riven’s E from 10/9/8/7/6 to 12/11/10/9/8, and to reduce the minimal damage on riven’s wind slash from 100/150/200 to 75/125/175.

The reason why these nerfs, is because one the fact that at max rank with 40% cooldown reduction riven’s E gets a 3 second cooldown, which that on itself, combined with how much the shield can give you, can make you survive so many situations you shouldn’t survive, besides it is a dash with a shield after all, one of the safest abilities to use.

And the reason why the nerf to riven’s ultimate, is to prevent riven players to instantly go all in and 100-0 the opposing laner upon reaching level 6, in the long run Riven’s wind slash is a ranged AOE execute, so it shouldn’t be as effective compared to other executes.
