I've played "tank" Riven before. And by tank I just mean that I was the only melee on the team. Every item I built still had AD on it. Except I did eventually build thornmail near the end, which was hilarious against the AD-heavy enemy team, combined with the next point.

It worked because two of my AP allies backing me up had shields. It was Karma and Lux I think. With our powers combined, I became the tank.

the team was all-female, all-damage, and was awesome

but yeah under normal circumstances, you don't want to be the initiator
