Not quite, Might. Riven believed in the Noxian philosophy of anyone being able to become strong and claim power on their own merit, which is why she learned to use that massive sword and become the ideal soldier. She left because she realized that High Command had a view more along the lines of 'Might makes right, honor be damned'. Singed gas-bombing an entire battlefield on their orders wasn't the strongest soldier and ideals winning, it was just mass genocide. She couldn't live with serving people who didn't honor their own ideals, so she cut ties.

This is why I hate that they imply Riven as the killer. She seems like the person who'd lead from the front lines in a charge to face the enemy in combat honorably, not sneak in and assassinate a defenseless man. I mush rather prefer that they be something of kindred spirits, lost warriors haunted by the horrors of their past.
