Giving Riven mana would just open her the window to build Muramana, while also giving her the option to build Frozen heart (Armor and CDR) as a defensive item.

While of course Muramana doesn't seems that appealing at first when compared to the 100 AD 18% lifesteal BT, there's a point where Muramana eventually outdamages a BT and actually becomes far more damaging than it. Yeah, it won't boost her abilities that much, but her charged AA's (Which are actually the biggest appeal of her kit) will become devastating. And given how much mana Muramana yields, it would be eventually like if she was manaless again.

Yeah, there's the downside of the charging time, but I can tell you, that charging time eventually becomes compensated. So, I won't give her mana, it would just make her stronger.

P.S.: Btw, Sheen items like Iceborn gauntlet are terribad on her.
