You anticipated my arrival it seems, well done sir/madam.

I actually found this pretty great, and it does make some pretty good points, Riven's Q wasn't really nerfed, the switch from bonus AD to total AD canceled out the (I think it was 10?) slight base damage nerf.

Also you hit the largest nail on the head, the shield that is on a very low cooldown and scales on her offensive stats. By offensive I mean both made for offense, and something that is offending to anyone fighting her.
