I once went through the champions in alphabetical order and listed their combined dash length for every champion. Riven indeed is pretty high, though champions like Renekton and Diana (counting one ult) already get close, but on top of that, Riven has to use a dash animation four times, while the others have to use the animation one or two times, and can walk in the rest of the duration. If I remember correctly, most champions had 400-600 in case of blinks (Kassadin high with 800), or 600-1000 with dashes (Akali close to 2500 and Ahri about 1350 if I remember correctly, but those are ults), whereas Riven was somewhere around 1100 or 1200. That means that, if Riven's total animation time is 1 second longer than another champion, and that other champion has normal movement speed of 400, they can cover as much distance in the same time as Riven. The only advantage she has, is that she can dodge skillshots more easily because she has a lot of small ones instead of one big one, and that she has no resource.
