@U N Ovvrn: So Bloodthirster is the only offensive item in existence according to you? Because there is no other way to get that much shield, except with the ult that simply is not always up (even then, you're going to need all offensive items minus one or AT MOST two Bloodthirster).

These are probably the most common items on Riven and it gives her a fair bit of health, life regen, life steal, excellent arpen, and magic resist + 400 magic shield.

Ravenous Hydra (75), BC (55), MoM (60 + passive), LW (40) = 230 bonus AD

Possible to replace Ravenous Hydra with a stacked BT then you get + 25 bonus AD = 255 bonus AD

Runes = 15 AD (AD reds and quints) or 11 AD (AD reds, 1 AD quint, + 2 free quint slots)

Masteries = 14 AD from Brute Force/Martial Mastery + Warlord boosts all bonus AD by 5%

w/ Hydra and 2 free quint slots = (230 + 11 + 14) x 1.05 = 268 bonus AD

w/ BT and full AD runes = (250 + 15 + 14) x 1.05 = 292

Riven's E (w/o ult) = (268 or 292) + 190 base = 458 (w/ Hydra) or 482 (/w BT)

For simplicity sake, I left out the MoM passive since that's dependent on your current missing health % but in theory if you were down to your last 2% of health then you'd receive a bonus 49 AD.

Also Riven's ult grants +20% AD which, if I'm reading this right, include her base AD which at lvl 18 is 104. Therefore with her ult, Riven's bonus AD is:

w/ Hydra and 2 free quint slots = [(104 + 268) x 1.20] - 104 = 342

w/ BT and full AD runes = [(104 + 292) x 1.20] - 104 = 371

Riven's E (w/ Ult) = (342 or 371) + 190 base = 532 (w/ Hydra) or 561 (/w BT)

Keep in mind my math be a bit off, namely in the application of the 5% bonus AD mastery on top of the ult % bonus AD but the numbers should be roughly in the ballparks unless someone really wants to test it out.

Also keep in mind that both "builds" have space for boots plus one more item (i.e. defensive or offensive).

Lastly, Riven's ult CD is 50 seconds or as low as 30 seconds with max CDR so it's not really uncommon to see Riven ult for every teamfight...
