Doesn't matter. The fact is he has no passive health regeneration. The extra 10% Shield he receives from his passive does nothing for his health regeneration. The common-man's Riven harass tactic of Valor-ing in, Ki Bursting, and swinging out can easily wear down Malphite's HP through the shield, as well as protect her from the minion aggro she draws from it. His passive only grants him that after not taking damage after a certain period of time, meaning he has to play passively or else draw minion aggro and delay the return of his passive shield. The fact that Malphite is AD doesn't change the fact he won't utilize his slow; the fact that you don't know that proves you, of all people, don't know anything about Malphite. In terms of a low level skirmish, of course, Malphite will come out the winner. However, in a lane-battle of attrition, his lack of sustain faced with Riven's innate HP Regeneration allow her to control the lane. Remember that League of Legends isn't about challenging people to 1v1s all the time.
