I'm sorry for being a dumbass sometimes (most of the time actually, until a few weeks ago) and being afraid of picking Riven (even though I knew she was actually my best champion) just because I had some bad games with her. Performance anxiety, I'd say. She isn't the only one who I didn't pick, while I should actually.

About the 7/7, I've been having bad luck in the past with Riven. That's also part of the reason I was afraid to pick her. She sometimes seems to be a champion that gives me bad luck. Just like with Vi, Jarvan and some others, my teams feel particulary idiotic many of the games. And then I mean things like (what happens in the average Vi game I play) "guys, I'm going to ult the fed ad carry, be ready". 10 seconds later, I ult. Team: "omg Vi, stop overextending". This after going 2/2/9 at the first 20 minutes and stealing a Dragon (seriously, that's just too easy at Silver... I've stolen more Dragons than seen them taken by the enemy team while playing junglers).

And I won't deny I can improve at Riven. However, now already, I am ALWAYS better than my enemies. I know, my score isn't super, but that's because of two reasons. First, I had some games that went bad early in the season, 2 or 3 with a negative KDA. I don't remember why, but either way I've improved a lot. And second, jungle Riven. It's strong, but the KDA is a lot worse, sometimes as bad as 6/5/9 or something like that.

Some things about the rest of your post:

You say the knockback allowed for another aa. The knockup doesn't? That's what you imply, at least.

I know 7 aas in implausible, but often 5 will be enough. Heck, I've done 100-0s at level 5 when I played it smart (things like, don't let the Jayce knock me away, if he uses his E, it will be towards his tower, where he's running).

I also don't know if you want to call Silver 1 low elo - Just fyi, it's about the best 19% of the ranked playerbase in Silver 1 or higher, so that's ACTUALLY pretty high, but people here don't know they should run. And by the way, you're only Gold 4, that's barely higher than me, so don't talk about "low elo again". Heck, in normal games we might have the same matchmaking rating, except of course that I play EUW and you NA.

And about Renekton, that dash 1) has to hit a minion to get the second off, and 2) if you can bait it with a combo without ult, your abilities are up before his dash.
