User blog comment:Care Level/Quality of Life: Riven and Nidalee/@comment-11623843-20131021014833

I haven't played riven, but I play nidalee. I prefer having her W as going in your direction. It helps you move around the map faster (which Riot intended), and it's great for Q-W attacking enemies without worrying about whether you W-ed in the right direction. Having to aim a skillshot dash every 4 seconds would get painful. This new targeting mechanic is more a buff than a nerf, at least for very spammy dashes meant to increase movement.
