I'm a little sad to see the Riven Q changes reverted, I know they weren't going to stay for this cycle but I hope Riot will revisit these changes and won't let the few vocal Riven mains who have "mastered" animation cancelling sway their opinions.

I find it ridiculous that this "feature" has been in the game this long. The difference between a Riven who can't animation cancel and one who can is insane. Riven's animation cancelling isn't intuitive, nothing in the game would lead you to believe that you can even do it. The only reason it's as known/widespread as it is is because of pro Riven players who stumbled upon it by accident (see the huge gap of time between Riven's release and people starting to animation cancel).

The potential of animation cancelling is holding Riven back, much like DFG was holding back Ahri/LeBlanc/Veigar. It makes it so someone without the latency to do it, someone who isn't a Riven main, or just someone that doesn't know it exists is basically playing Riven, a champion that has been balanced around those that can abuse animation canceling, at 70~% strength all because of one little mechanical obstacle.
