"Sometimes, the skill order changes depending on who I am laning against. Otherwise, this is the order I max out my skills: Q>E>W>W>E>R>W>E..."

skilling your skills like that absolutely ruins your early kill potential in lane. in most lane matchup from lvls 2-5 Riven has the advantage to bully/kill.

1. you only need the escape if you are losing the engage and most of the time when are you going to engage? when all of your skills are up. this is dictated by Broken Wings since the cooldown on it doesnt lower with skilling. theres no reason to have Ki Burst on a 4 second shorter cooldown since you wont be fighting until Broken Wings is up.

2. "I max out Ki Burst, being that I like the damage on it". nobody maxes W anymore, and if they do, they dont do it for the damage. after the nerfs to it there is absolutely no reason to max it out first. the last sentence on point one tells you why the additional cooldown on it isnt all that great.

3. Rivens shield will scale off AD no matter how many lvls you put in it. if you max it second it will be at lvl 13, by then most of the shield will come from the scaling due to items. also by lvl 13, in most games laning phase will be over. the only trading you might do is against splitpushers.

"Yes, they were normal games, but it isn't like I am going to play her in a ranked game and be insanely good. xD"

yes you wont be instantly good playing her in ranked but you will be playing against better ppl as you rank up which in turn will make you a better player. normal games are for testing out builds and sharpening mechanics since normals honestly dont really matter.
