Riven's damage being shared is to help actually make her "she's a 1v1 queen" more true - because quite frankly, that's a bogus weakness. She's only weak when out numbered if she's fighting two mobile champions who are moving in different direction, or versus multiple high-damage-ranged-CC champions. But the problem with her counts is that those champions are too strong themselves... Highly mobile champions like Fiora and Lucian, and I don't really need to explain why ranged, CC-carries is a bad thing.
