The shield scaling is so that if she's behind, you won't feed when you go back to lane as fast as the Yorick + GA bug. And you usually wouldn't go full AD glass cannon on Riven, especially if you max 'E' first as you only max E first if you don't think you're going to win trades/you're against a hard counter (e.g. Garen, Pantheon). You could nerf the ratio but that would hurt her more than the juggernaut rework did to the league community, considering the fact that the current masteries don't synergize with her kit that well compared to other top laners. If you do remove the dash, then that means she can shield herself during a snare, and even though that would kind of help her, having the dash always helped Riven players escape a gank to make up for her innate squishiness early and her horrible health regen.
