Making Riven's Q a non-smartcast, targeted ability with as short a range as it has is completely, utterly bonkers.

Reducing her shield duration to 1.5 seconds is a perfectly adequate nerf: It keeps it from being an overpowering shield for trades but keeps its counter-harassment potential strong. And are you honestly suggesting making Valor the world's most boring dash, and making Ki Burst the most overburdoned ability in the game? A manaless, AoE stun with moderate damage and a SHIELD!? Are you a lunatic?
