Well once again her base stats have to be bad because all she is building and all abilities in her kit synergize very well with AD. And her kit provides her with everything a bruiser wans to have to be effective. Is there something missing which you want to have in her kit?

And as i said you can pick out a lot of base stats and compare them with other champs you will always find lower or higher stats somewehre. And to be honest do 100 base HP, 5 base AD, or 9 Armor, or 5 MR really matter that much at level 18 to be considered game changing? I doubt that. (And by the way you picked bullsh*t champs for your comparison, Pyke for example need to have high base armor because of his passive, Zed and Talon need high MR/HP because they are played Mid Lane)

And i still believe out of all the champs at Top lane she really is the worst champ to lane against if you do a mistake and fall behind. Because she is not only going to be a threat for you but for you whole team as well since she is great at roaming mid lane or jungle.

And out of all the Top lane champs which you named to be more cancer you named her hardcounters (Garen and Darius; i dont know about Urgot though). I partly agree with you there, but in my opinion Garen and Darius dont have that many room to make game changing plays like a Riven can with a well timed Flash into the enemy backline.

You cant compare the gap closer of an Assassin like LeBlanc or Zed with that of a bruiser. But still her dash has a 3 times shorter Cooldown and no cast time for no resources. And she also got her Q on top of it.

You seem to be misunderstanding her shield? Its 100% Bonus AD + 215 max Rank which means every point of AD from Items, Runes or Buffs will Buff it. So if she gets as you said 500bonus AD her Shield will be 715 HP, not 500 HP. While the Shield itself isnt the problem its the cooldown; getting a 715HP shield every 3.6seconds seems pretty good to me. In an extended ~10second fight she can soak up to 2.1 k dmg just with the shield which is pretty insane.

In my opinion she is strong against every Tank top lane. For example: Maokai, Malphite, Shen, Sion, Ornn, Nautilus, Nasus .... and against some other Champs like Aatrox or Yasuo. If played well Riven outtrades all of those champions with ease or can Zone them pretty effective from cs.
