tl;dr :)

But are there really people who say Trinity is great on Riven? That must be noobs:

1. She has no mana

2. She has no use of ap

3. She uses mostly abilities, so no crits.

4. And the unique passives - You can be sure of slow with Frozen Mallet, but not with Trinity Force, plus Trinity Force has stronger slow. It gives 50% more bonus damage than Sheen, and more than Lich bane, but is that so useful? You already got a free one, and don't forget the 2 second cooldown which means that it is much less useful.

Any parts of TF I did not comment on yet?

Health - A Frozen Mallet gives much more.

Attack Damage - A Bloodthirster is cheaper, and gives much more. And you can use the life steal to get life from monsters when you escape low on health. If I stack bloodthirsters on Riven, I walk away with ~100 health left, kill the wolves, and walk back with full health, ready for another combo.

Movement Speed - You already have 4 dashes. If that is not enough to catch up with someone/flee, then 12% bonus movement speed isn't either. And the dashes don't suffer from slows from for example Ashe or a random frozen mallet, while bonus movement speed does.

I think I actually gave a reason why not to buy it for each single stat of it... lol.
