I'll say it again.

giving her AP ratio's "just because" is a dumb idea. Yes, she is the only one with an AD scaling shield...that's because she's a full offense assassin/fighter/caster/bitch champion who can't afford NOT to buy damage. That and the fact that she'S melee is the reason she has that shield. To give her some form of protection and the ability to duel people.

Shields are almost always designed so they scale from a stat that you buy (e.g.: AP on Rumble, Health on Nautilus, Mana on Ryze). The only one without that was Urgot, and even that tehy changed so now he scales from Mana, a stat he actually builds.

The only champion who are still left with unnecessary scalings are old ones, and champions who used to build differently (e.g.: the Ap Ratio on lee sin's shield was probably because they expected trinity force to be a core item on him)

giving ap ratio to Riven does nothing, you might as well remove the ratio alltogether

Lowering the damage on W could be an idea, although i don't think that'Ss necessary. A lot of power comes from her ult as well...I'd rather have them nerf that.

I'll say it again too, get rid of that goddamn aa cancel. It removes a lot of her instant damage, makes her easier to pick up and doesn't change her playstyle at all.

Also, Riven does fall off lategame...you just need to get there. She snowballs, just like a whole bunch of other, way more terrifying teamfighters (kata, Yi)
