  • It’s crazy to me that this abomination of a mechanic exists in League. If you’re a casual player and pick Riven up because you think the champ looks cool, you’d literally be playing 80% of a real champion without even realizing it. You have to search up like 3 different Riven guides just to figure out what the fuck is going on with this Fast Q, then spend hours giving yourself carpal tunnel in practice tool just to not get outstatted by every other champ in the game because you have 50% lower attack speed than you should. And you haven’t even started learning the real combos!

    Riven is such a cool character with so much potential with fun combos, mobility, and outplay potential. But she’s totally unplayable for 99% of the playerbase because gatekeepers want to feel superior because they click more.


  • I think it’s totally fine to just not be into it.

    That being said, a lot of people enjoy Sanderson a lot, and if you happen to end up liking it, it’s a very rewarding series to get into because 1. there are a lot of books in the series 2. Sanderson is really good at churning out more books consistently.

    So like, if it was Rothfuss, maybe it’s not worth to try and push through, since even if you ended up enjoying the first book, you’ll end up stuck and disappointed after the second book anyway. With Sanderson, if you happen to “acquire” the taste, you can get a lot more out of it. That being said, if at some point it’s just clear you don’t like it, it’s still fine to give it up.
