Not gonna reply to single posts, but want to state a bunch of things:

With Riven, lanes like Renekton, Darius and Pantheon are indeed not too bad. They require caution and a mistake from them to win, but they're doable. Irelia's probably here too, but she has a weak early and then scales up really hard and it's just nearly impossible to keep her down, and if you don't you're probably going to get into a bad time. In a Riven vs Irelia lane, a kill for the Irelia is doable post 6, even if she's died one or two times, if the Riven makes a mistake, and then Riven's going to be in for a really hard time.

I personally absolutely hate Garen, but another Riven main I know, in Diamond 5, says it's easy to win against him, so it's probably me, not the matchup.

Olaf and Nasus are, in my opinion, the worst lanes to play. Olaf simply beats me up every damn time, also because I cannot sit there and wait, with him then just healing everything from last trade up, and Nasus... Everyone always claims Riven is his best counter, but there are only very few games I can beat up a Nasus, and I think that's just when I play against the bad ones.

Lulu was also mentioned, and I can honestly only remember one lane against Lulu, which I won pretty nicely, though the rest of the team lost too hard for me to compensate, but I can see a good one bullying the f out of Riven. With Kennen that would even be easier, because he can stun and get away very fast, and I think Vayne would be a horror too, though I haven't had that lane ever. I already hate her as the only AD carry that I truly cannot duel with Riven if said player is good. All other AD carries I can duel with a good engage from my side.
