In early games all abilities of all champs are on a higher cooldown so i wont take that argument. And to be honest that 10 second cooldown on her "E" is already among the lowest cooldowns for a rank 1 dash. It also Shields for more HP than any other dash does damage.(for no cost)

Her HPreg is just 1 to 1.5 lower than average, if thats her great downside i would be disappointed.

If she plays her combo right there are not a lot of champs which can punish her or prevent her from doing it. A skilled Riven can prevent you from cs'ing be hard can lock me down with her Combo and gets zero to minor turret damage.

In my opinion her game mechanics are really simple. I believe the reason she isnt played a lot in low elo is because you have to be a good player overall to be effective with her. You need to know when to roam, splitpush also patience and map awareness are key elements for Riven. You also have to keep in mind that Riven will be useless against a team with lots of CC or if she is the only front line which can expect little to no support from her team in fights.
