if Riven was to have mana er mana costs would have to be extremely low or otherwise she'd be utterly unplayable (like, if you just use abilities to ddoge spells and run out of mana, you're goign to die before you can even get enough gold to buy tear)

Basically she's either useless or the mana costs are so minor that it won't change anything anyways.

She should have a ressourve, but mana is not it. Energy is better.

Mana: high ressourcepool that allows spam for some time, but low recahrge rate

Energy: smaller ressourcepool that allows full combos, but no followup, however, it also recharges much faster.

Riven should be a skirmisher who goes all in and then backs out, being vulnerable for a short time. Currently, she's not really vulnerable due to low cooldowns which aren't evn visible to ehr enemies.

Giving her energy means that she has clear windows in which she is visibly weak, or in other words: if the bar is gone, punch her in the face
