@Jareccc "Winning the lane" depends on two things: your champ and your opponent. Dr. Mundo wins by not dying too much and not falling too far behind in farm. Other similar options are Trundle and Nasus. If you think that "winning the lane" ALWAYS is defined by KDR, then you should recheck your assumptions about the game.

Also, the only situation where you shouldn't be going tanky is if you are playing a straight-up fighter (GP, Yasuo, Tryn, etc.) or assassin (Zed, Akali, LeBlanc, etc.). If you play a fighter or an assassin, then fighting Riven is a question of who kills who first, and thats just a matter of skill and a bit of CC. Anyone else should start tanky (probably with health over armor), and build damage later. Top lane is generally asked to do damage soaking, which you can't do if you are building AD or AP.
