Garen is Riven's hardest counter in the game. His silence completely cripples her, his main source of damage (his E) lasts far longer than her shield and cannot be interrupted by her CC, and he gains additional armor from his W, which reduces all of Riven's damage. The best you can hope to do as Riven is to try and kite him with your AoE CC and superior mobility.
