^ This is not a good start, and also not a good build. You'll have more success if you improve it.

Boots + 3 pots is not good on Riven. She doesn't need to drop 350g on +25 MS with all the dashes that she has, three potions is not enough to win exchanges with tougher matchups, and lack of wards leaves you exposed to early ganks.

Boots should be situational, not set in stone. Ionian against a heavy CC team is generally a bad idea. Zephyr and Ghostblade are both sub-par on Riven. It's movement speed that you don't need, and AS that's difficult to leverage properly (AS doesn't improve your casting animations, which is what feeds the want ot autoattack in the first place via Runic Blade). Frozen Mallet is also a waste of time. You're overpaying for health to get a slow that you don't actually need.

If you run Tele/Flash top, Riven also likes the Distortion upgrade (she's a decent split-pusher because of her dueling power, and a tele-gank bot lane is devastating).
