Riven's weakness is to simply not fight her(alone), because that's what she does best; fighting people(alone). Garen's weakness is not to be purely melee, and Katarina's weakness is to not play the game be able to stun her if she shows signs of life! All of these are forms of what I like to call "static counterplay"; you ether pick what does well into them at champion select, or have a bad time for 25-40 minutes. I'm not sure how long you've been on this hellboat I like to call "League of Legends", but and  have been highly problematic in the past, stemming from the fact that they have no "Combat weak point(ala, a resource)"; and I don't think Garen and Katarina(more so Katarina) are in good spots at the moment anyway.

'''A Resource is a universal "counterplay" philosophy that gives any player, no matter how skilled they may be, a way to know when a champion is strong and when a champion is weak. When a champion lacks this, they will invoke balance issues.''' I'm not saying every champion should be given mana and be forced to buy mana items like their, but they should have some "natural" means of limiting their power.
