If anything, meta shifted perfectly into Riven's favor. See: 53% high elo win rate, which used to be about 48% not so long ago.

Incoming changes to TBC will make it only far worse, you know. It's good on her already (but hated for some reason?), and it will get better. An armor penetration item gets buffed, that never turns out good.

Since when tanks or ranged tops counter Riven so hard? Where did you pull that out? Come there and tell me more about how ranged tops counter everything (always an argument while talking about top melee champs - rngd countr!!1!1!, second worst argument next to "X is vulnerable to CC"). Riven is not countered by them in any means as she can just get into their face due to nasty mobility and then blow them up to hell since they cannot afford too much defense. And tanks, also not a counter at slightest. Some of them can afford a 0/0 lane thanks to their self-peel or sustain, but that is not an efficient way to go in most of cases. You might as well leave an ADC without kills and deaths, but they will eventually carry just because how their snowballing works.

The only way to truly counter her is heavy shutdown in-lane (at least 0.25 KD ratio) or extremely good peel. About CC, you know already. Everything dies to CC except Olaf. Damn you Olaf.

I will be honest, i kinda enjoyed Riven's playstyle, and i consider her as rather one of well designed champs. If not the absurd power and battle bunny crap, would be somewhere between my favorite picks. So yes, it's not like i want a nerf just because someone destroyed a game or two.

Whole thing should get really fixed, i feel like i'm gonna die after another "add resource / reduce mobility versus is fine and skillcapped" talk. Also, a huge fanbase is not a justification to lack of balance.

Side note: Riven is a direct counter to Sion, unless her Q and E buttons are stuck.
