Riven vs Renekton is more or less a skill match-up. Riven can still deal quite a bunch of damage to Renekton early, but Renekton also has quite a good amount of damage early if he can manage his fury properly.

Riven vs Jax is also a skill match-up, but slightly different from the Renekton match-up. A good Jax will patiently keep his stun up for the full on engage, while Riven will have to try and bait out the stun since it has quite a long cooldown. If the Jax stun is baited out, Riven has a 15 seconds window of opportunity to go full ham on Jax.

Generally, if you get the general idea about how Riven works, you can counter her. Other champs that can actually counter Riven is Shen and Irelia. Starting with a Doran's shield gives enough sustain to handle her early unless you try to all-in her for some reason. Shen only needs a Chainwest whereas Irelia just have to play patiently to around level 8-9 to be able to outtrade Riven.
