As a Riv player I feel your pain, and these were the exact thoughts I had when I read those nerfs. But they are not as bad as you make them out to be imo. Q deals significantly less but it's still strong to max W>E because of how much damage is on her passive. The E is a bigger nerf, but it was extremely strong--be thankful the nerf was to the duration, not the cooldown.

She had these nerfs coming. She still has a flexible skill order (more punishing when she has to max w, but still viable) and her damage is still very high. I'll miss the lv1 all-ins tho -_-
