To bust some of the untruths here:

Riven is OP - False. Yes, she can adapt to many situations. However, there is a lot of skill needed to do this. A higher skill cap gives way for more potential damage. The harder it is to reach the max damage output, the higher this damage output is.

She has an AD scaling shield - Okay, this one is true. Still, it only has a 1.0 scaling. This means that (couning armor) a random carry can two-shot her shield. Without ArPen, just because they have more damage than she has.

She has a 1.5 AD scaling on auto-attacks - Do you even read abilities before posting? It is a 0.5 scaling, and ONLY after using an ability.

Last, yes, she is good in 1v1. Do you know how good she is in team fights? One of the least useful champions, except for soaking up damage. You can build glass cannon and die as soon as you have finished dashing to your enemies, you can build tanky and your damage will not be high enough to really wreak havoc against more than one target.

I must say, however, that sometimes, she can get pretty scary. Some time ago, for example, I played against a faceroll Riven with Fiora (really... They should auto-ban those Rivens.), I was half health when I met her in the river, tried to escape, she just triple-Qed, activated her ult and killed me. But yeah, I didn't really have any armor or health, being a carry... Plus she wasn't on my lane.
