Riven isn't that bad. I guess her kit is naturally a little overwhelming against players who have little experience playing against her, what with her dashes, AD scaling and innate snowballing potential. Those attributes make her broken and difficult to balance, but not overpowered.

As a Rumble main, I am often told that Riven is an unfavourable matchup (not a counter, don't misunderstand me). However, I rarely lose badly to Riven players, because there are many simple principles that make playing against her much easier. If you play smartly against Riven and don't overextend, she shouldn't be that bad.

Also, it is much harder to apply animation cancelling in a real game than in bot games. Those who are able to play Riven masterfully and weave cancelling in real games, especially with so many ways to counter her, deserve to snowball and make your life hell. If you get counterpicked by her, then there's nothing you can do.

Ps difficulty bars are pretty inaccurate, that should be common knowledge by now Sorry for typing so much
