^I have to agree with him that it was quite a buff, while she didn't need one.

What I don't think worked, though, is Warmogs + FoN. Just build a BT if you want to regain health. Worked then, still works now.

Also, she's MEANT to be slippery. It's called character design. Just like Vayne can kite, like Olaf can race through a team without getting stopped, like Soraka heals everyone, etc. Riven has many strength, like slippery and high damage, but she also has one big weakness. Only her ult has more than melee range. Exploit it, instead of complaining about it.
