Well lets compare the two styles

Riven: Has a tripple attack ability, which also gives 3 stacks on her passive. Has a Lung Shield ability, which can be used to escape or to get close to enemy. A wide area stun and a Increase Range ult which also does a secondary range attack with a bonus damage by how injured the opponent is.

Irelia: Has a far range lunge On Hit ability that refresh on kill but can't be used for escape. Heal passive with a double heal active with minor true damage. A stun or slow depending on health against opponent, and a ult that shoots mid range daggers that heals you if it hits target.

Riven was amde to take a beating to a opponent, was made to seriously take them out quick as can. While Irelia style is about out lasting the opponent while doing heavy amount of damage. Over all Irelia is not as powerful as Riven, but a better sustain. Though this is a disadvatnage against Riven, who can easliy escape and chase a opponent. While Irelia has a good gap closer it can't be used to escape with. Riven will have the advantage most of the time.
