User blog comment:Pf987/Riven minor rework idea/@comment-26870289-20150809182040

many riven reworks i saw on this wiki shared one trait: forcing her to aa more and always do the long combo.

and there is a reason riot doesnt do that. if you always have to fight for about 7 seconds till you can use her ult or always need to aa in between everything it pretty much shuts down any snowballing. also its useless lategame since an "assasination" takeing that long doesnt happen.

her main problem is that not only her damage but her mobility snowballs as well. this was (and is still should he somehow manage to get ahead) the problem with kassadin. if shecould only have 30%cdr the problem would be gone. even 35 might be enough. i think that the best possible nerf to her would be "valors cooldown no longer goes down when leveled" should she need one. im not entirely sure cause even though im low elo, armor+5pots and safeplay early is usually enough to deal with her in lane and if shes fed you need to kite well (which is a bit harder though).
