I need to retract my statement on Titanic hydra. It's better for single target burst, but you're gradually adding more lifesteal into your riven, usually, so the synergy with ravenous increases. A lot.

You also get the health to survive burst, but as riven you usually don't survive anyway if you don't get the drop on the enemy, and when you do, you cc enough to have enough safety to heal the equivalent of the health from titanic.

It's just easy for the adc to laugh at you as you die when you've got no way of reaching him and don't have the survivability to achieve damaging anything esle either, though. If you've already picked riven you've got to figure out what kind of defenses you need, and usually it just means maw and/or scimitar, because she thrives on clutch play, but sometimes, cc flies everywhere, targets aren't squishy, and you're going to have to deal with that you won't reach the backline and you're fighting a wall.

It hurts building health, but you're not exactly spoiled for armour item choices as riven.
