To this day, I'm still surprised that people (and Riot, partly) haven't recognized Riven as an actually "full fledged assassin" that just got a "Fighter" tag thrown at, to cover her real purpose. I guess most of us already know how "toxic" and "obnoxious" assassins with some defensive mechanics in their kits are considered.

Prob with her is that she scales too much by building just one (!) stat - AD. Many other champs have at least mixed damage types or scalings. Riven on the other hand can just rush a huge AD item with Lifesteal, Black Cleaver and LW and she is essentially set to delete anybody that is caught in her combo and doesn't lock her down instantly before she can press R+Q.

So, should Riven get other stats to scale with?
