^that'S easier said than done...Riven is all about the initiation. Screw up just a little and you die (or at least get beaten up badly). Also, you really need to have the abilities necessary for that.

Basically it's like this: IN order to beat Riven you nee to have a potential counter.which isn't that hard, since a lot of champs CAN counter her. The tricky part is how to execute it. Riven can benefit from the slightest mistake, even if you're ahead. I don't think there's any counter to her where you can be like: I do my combo and win a trade.

In other words: If you play vs a good Riven, it'S almoost impossible not to die at some point.

ON another note: try Sion vs her. Constant poke with E + the shield to mitigate some of her initiation damage works really well.
