The forum discussion turned out that people actually want that change, because animation cancelling is an "exploit" that makes the game too alienating for less skilled players.

Really, what? Well then, time to remove every single animation cancel and orbwalking, since it's "exploiting". Time to remove all difficulty from the game to make the game less "alienating".

I honestly never enjoyed playing Riven and barely ever tried, but taking that away sounds like simple disrespect to Riven players. You've been practicing long, but sorry - here you go, have another expectable champion combo in the game. Because skill gating sucks.

Yes, it some way it wasn't intended to be in game, but adds flavor, increases skill cap therefore making the champion more interesting.

I also heard complaining about how animation reseting is impossible for people with higher ping. Yes. It is. Just like timing out many, many things like smite steals, channeled abilities, reset combos, and on and on.
