Characters like Shen and Irelia are free food for Riven early (well, Irelia probably not, but she's still a bit in a problem spot), not to mention that Riven can roam to mid or the enemy buff spawn at 7 minutes for kill far easier. On top of that, Riven is the only one of them who can 100-0 an AD carry in under two seconds without being extremely fed. Besides, why would you need health regen if your first item is either a Bloodthirster or a Ravenous Hydra?

Oh, about her Q damage, it barely changed if you didn't get fed. It's only slightly lower.
