Riven in my opinion is pretty much balanced. On several occassions, against a Riven player I always pick Garen (There are other strongpicks, but Garen is overall the best imo) and most of the time I won my lane early because Riven players can hardly cs near me or even get close to me to harass. Honestly, out of all bruiser type champions, Riven is the squishiest. If you have at least one ally on your team with a silence, just use it to prevent Riven from getting any damage off in teamfights and you should be fine from her AoE. Also, Rivens never initiate when it comes to teamfights, you play Riven like an assassin. Once her  tank engages, she activate her ultimate and goes all in.
