Irelia has more damage over time than Riven. Riven is more bursty, yes, but as I said, armor mitigates her damage A LOT. When those bursts of hers are weakened through buying armor, Irelia can just heal it back up by AAing, and she can beat Riven in a 1v1, mostly because of her sustained damage with W, which also is true damage, meaning it can't be reduced. Olaf and Tryndamere can be hard for her to deal with, although I haven't really encountered them. For GP, he hurts the most the first few lvl, then Irelia can easily outheal his damage and go toe to toe with him.
