Man I explain this every time someone goes on the riven wiki complaining about her e. When most people see "ad scaling shield" they're amazed and think wow thats broken! but what you're not realising is how little that is. Firstly it's a BONUS ad shield. remember that. now, one of the most build'd items is blackcleaver, so we'll use that as an example. Lets just say you get this 15 minutes into the game, thats an extra 50 shield. Do you see the problem, Or shall I continue? You're also thinking a riven has max CDR and maxed e, and are forgeting it lasts 1.5 seconds.

Shes given this shield so she can actually engage, becuase although she's mobile, she can cross the disance like leblanc.

You also have to keep in fact that she typically upgrades q in non abusive lanes. Also, 100% ad scaling is equivilant to an auto, yet you're holding it at a high regard, 215 ad scaling is just her way to actually do damage. He'll while Im comparing them I'll also add the ult damage as you've only added the ad scaling, although wrongly (as it boosts her *BONUS AD*), but forget it, 275 ad scaling.

Let me list lots of champions that may or may not need an ult to do this much ad scaling wise

-any adc with some form of attackspeed

-jayce e (in cannon form) alone = 300 ad scaling(can auto I'd think as fast as the gapes in your q's are

-jayce combo qwerrautoewq  = 765 ad scaling(including the auto switching forms if you know how to auto e glitch) and including armour shred

fiora = can one shot anyone with her ult as everythings true damage with enough ad but also has 200% crit (increasing the number Im about to present greatly)  combo q auto e1 hydra/tiamat e2 (not even including her ult or healing or her w that can block everythng)

which does  1015 (I thought of the 200% crit as a 3x multiplier, if not you can fiix it)  not even including the true damage capabilities. the reason why Im including tiamat is becuase it's an item thats almost always built on her.

I would maybe understand if you complained about her impowered autos but the scaling on her q and w and r arent super OP! you forget that a riven has to waste a couple q's just to get to you and the q's take cast time. What makes riven strong isnt her subpar shield (not saying it's not useful) but mostly the autos in between, which add up to alot.
