I also don't get why she doesn't have mana, but I'm not really complaining about it. Mana might not even do much aside from weaken her laning phase since Riven can just buy a tear and stack it fast.

Heimer top is a pretty good counter to Riven. If you save your grenade until Riven is on top of you, you can stun or even slow her (she most likely used all her dashes trying to get to you, so the slow is worth it). He can also buy Zhonya's to stall for time while his turrets kill her. However, Heimerdinger isn't used much because of the same old problems: turrets require setting-up for maximum use (like Teemo shrooms). If the enemy fights out of your turrets, Heimer has to plant a bunch of new ones in another location.
