it breaks her background if you nerf her.

"She entered battles without any trace of doubt in her mind: no ethical pause, no fear of death. "

If you make her decide when to go into battle then shes pausing and showing fear.

Lore doesn't decide whether or not a freaking champion gets nerfed or not. No champion should be 100% safe to play with no risk of dying. It makes the game toxic.

I still don't think she should be nerfed. They're plenty of top lane players to shut riven down and a few ranged adc that she can't even touch if you're good with them. Plenty of ways to counter riven as long as you play teamwise/tactical. A lot of people just rush into a fight or initiate a team fight and they won't focus and just say OP. You can't say OP just because you died. If anyone is OP it's garen but Riven doesn't need a nerf that would just ruin her. Possibly add A LITTLE cooldown but to much will make her horrible.

The problem is that Riven is a top and a jungle, but if she gets nerfed then she won't be a jungle anymore and she already gets shut down a lot as a top. I don't see how people have such problems with her, I get killed a ton.

She's nowhere near strong enough to need nerfs, the only complaints were when the Black Cleaver could stack insanely.

Mind you, comparatively, riven is statistically overpowered. Just saying. Though this hard of a nerf is far from needed.

The nerf won't effect her jungle that much, considering her shield also got buffed. also, repeating myself here, but, riven is statistically overpowered. The actual nerf is overkill though.
