Actually "Supp0rt4n00bz", I never think "Shunpo" when I think with Kata. I think of sinister steel. The snowballing, that's something you get used to. For me, I use sinister steel for mobility, getting out of "Oh god I can feel him breathing down my neck" range of a melee champ, for procing the bouncing blade marks, for me it's her central skill, followed closely by death lotus. (Pick a mundo, any mundo.)

As for riven, I do think broken wings. Triple-mobility skill combo, it's what I think when I think riven. I tend to not use the ulti, it doesn't spell death for me, it spells "The cure to so-close-yet-so-far syndrome." or "I see you're on low health but about to escape. It'd be a shame if a riven player used her ulti's extra active. Oops, I did, you're dead." It's situational for me. Her defining thing is, in my opinion, broken wings. It's the three-hit combo that is Riven. Originally, when her passive charged per-ability, it was a massive part of her combo, making it a six-hit. Now, though, it's still what I think of when I think Riven.

And Mr. Christmas, Teemo is OP, but the meta wants you to think he's harmless. It's a conspiracy. The meta is controlling us all.

Point is, it's different for different people. What one person thinks defines a character is different for different people. You say shunpo, I say SinSteel. Everyone's different.
