I've been thinking about something like that every time I see a Riven montage or "pro play" or anything lately, especially this hyped up boxbox play where he pretty much solos the entire enemy team http://youtu.be/AmQKFfQoUg8?t=2m1s. There's nothing really skillful going on, he just goes HAM spamming all his abilities for damage without a care in the world.

Your comparison to Ryze is spot on. Ryze at least doesn't have 4 dashes and 2 AoE hard CCs. Riven has all this outplay potential in her kit while also being strong enough that she doesn't even have to use it 9 times out of 10 to be successful (as per your skill floor comment).
