Gotta agree with above. Not enough dash range for an assassin, not tanky enough for a fighter and bad kit for a tank, and yet you can do really well with her.

I think that - considering she's in a bit of a bad spot - they decided to give her this buff for now while they're looking at what to change. Because really, what else can you do to buff Riven? Her cooldowns are already really low if you're at 45%, to the point you nearly always have an ability up to use, and her damage on basic abilities is high enough that if you buff it she becomes too oppressive in lane. So the only thing you can buff is her burst.
