You are probably playing too passive.

Get right up in his face and wreck him. Vlads are ranking Q first, which means 1) his harass has a long cooldown at first, and 2) he can't push. Don't be afraid of his ranged damage. Once he hits you with Transfusion, he's out of gas, so press the attack and make him pay. You have enough gap closers for the job.

If he trollpools, no problem, means he burned his escape, so wait on your cooldowns and go kick his ass again. You need to understand, as Riven, that he cannot win trades with you, unless you let him farm, so.... don't let him farm.
