Riven's Surprising Buff
The League of Legends player base is not afraid of expressing their thoughts and opinions about the game they love. Recently, a Reddit post highlighted the main reason why a lot of people do not play Riven. This champion has a high skill ceiling primarily because it is quite hard to master her "Q" ability, Broken Wings. Without getting into too much detail, Broken Wings requires animation canceling to be effective. This is quite hard to do for a vast majority of League of Legends players, so much so that even the pros are shying away from the said champion.
While there are no mechanical changes to Broken Wings in Patch 13.23, Riot Games did make the said ability a bit more rewarding to use. Broken Wing's damage has been increased from 15/35/55/75/95 (+45/50/55/60/65% AD) to 15/35/55/75/95 (+50/55/60/65/70% AD).
To take things a step further, the company has also buffed Riven's Blade of the Exile bonus attack damage from 20% to 25%.

Do you agree with the general sentiment that the turret changes in Patch 13.23 are terrible? What about the adjustments made to Riven? Do you think they're enough or should Riot Games implement more dramatic changes?
