I'd say you need to play Riven some more rather than just go off one game. If you have continued success then maybe, but this sounds like it could've just as easily been a one off game. You also went against your main, which really does make things easier.

This matchup also requires a much more passive approach from Darius, if he pulls Riven she ends up in range to do her full combo, where she outdamages basically everyone. Normally it's not as damaging since a few of the parts of it are used to gapclose.

In a way it's also very much a firstblood wins type matchup, with Darius needing to let Riven engage if possible, or poke her with q while running back since she can't sustain such high damage.

For real though, just play more Riven, then make a post detailing your experiences if you feel like it, it'll be more enlightening to her state of balance than playing against her, if nothing else.
