Riven is not a bad fighter but in the purpose of a long sustained duel she is a lot weaker. Her damage is accumulated into a burst combo. Her shield is strong but only for a short duration(the time it takes for her combo). Her forms of cc are hard cc's except they all last short and only long enough to root a target to perform her combo. Also most of the time Riven doesn't duel skill shot squishies. She murders them. Full 100-0% burst. Her fighting style is more murder centric meaning if your target isn't low and "running away" after your combo they can turn around and fight back respectivly.

Riven is not a bad fighter but don't be the player who facerolls everyone they see and yell bs when they die accordingly. At the same time don't be the player who always run away after getting initiated and combo'd in lane. Trade back unless you are dying from ignite and you will be surprised at the results of an extended trade vs Riven.
