In my experience Riven is incredibly strong in lane, and I would say there are very few common top lane picks I fear when playing her. If she does build BT, GA and LW, however, she becomes something of an AD mage/assasin and has a ridiculously hard time killing anyone late game who isn't squishy. Sure, she has burst, but she can't carry teams by herself as she has no real sustained damage. Not to mention that after she's been stunned once she can be pretty much popped before she can move again. If she doesn't build full damage then getting armour against her will make her pretty much useless.

And if she's so OP, how come she's hardly ever picked in tournaments? You'd think all those people who play LoL for money would want in on such a supposedly easy-win champion.
