I think I've found a new way for Riven to exist in this current state of the game. Jungle Riven. Before you dismiss this crazy idea bear with me.

Take whatever you want for runes and masteries but be sure to take that lifestealing keystone, I think it is called bloodlust. However proper build is the key: Mercury Threads, Death's Dance, Warrior Enchantment, Frozen Mallet, Deadman's Plate and The Black Cleaver. If enemy is sporting a lot of magic damage Switch Forzen Mallet with Banshee. Another very, very important part of the build is to start purchasing the red elixir as soon as possible.

This build focuses on raw AD, some armor and magic resist, a bit of health and the most important component, healing by dealing physical damage. You see, Death's Dance and red elixir both heal for 15% of damage dealt. Death's Dance works on anything but red elixir works only on champs. That means you get 30% of damage dealt to champions as health an on top of that keystone heals you with basic attacks. Since 100% of Riven's damage is physical and her spells deal quite a bit of physical damage you can heal for insane amounts. Why jungle, well because no one will bother you in the jungle so you can snowball easier. You can try top lane by switching out Warrior Enchantment with Spirit Visage.
