Just putting in my two cents: while it's true that Riven would definitely prefer an honourable combat that truly tests the strengths of both sides, she's also a soldier. A soldier who prefers the direct road, but one who is familiar with war and strategy nonetheless.

She's not the sort to ruthlessly order men to their deaths or use questionable weapons that cause mass friendly fire, but I could see her taking on an assignment to neutralise a high-ranking enemy leader. It might be more in line with all the other Noxians, but on the other hand, there is enough for a soft case on why it's her. Sure, assassination and breaking the enemy's morale are definitely not 'frontline battle' tactics, but they're certainly closer to Riven's realm than say Zaunite chemical weaponry, and cause much less collateral damage.

Not saying it's the absolute conclusion, and it might probably be a case of mistaken identity where Yasuo, desperate for a wind-using assassin, is observing anyone in the League who would fit the bill. However, IMHO, I do think there are some connections. :)
