One does not trade with Rumble that easily. You have to hop around with your short-as-fuck dashes to evade the flamespitter and the harpoons. Given the fact that it's safer to begin hoping around with your E, you'll have just your last Q to close the gap, meaning he will get away and shield.

Now that we're both setting "on-paper" arguments, wich one is going to be the valid one? Because, outside who could be right, most of the times Rumble tends to beat the shit out of Riven. Btw, I usually don't give a shit about the common opinion, but just for in case I could be wrong, I searched for the pro's opinions. Guess what? Most of them agree in the fact that Rumble grows stronger than you as the game goes on. The safest build to face him should be Merc's+Hexdrinker (Aside from any early Doran you've managed to get, if you've managed to, of course), but then you lose sustain. Only advantage Riven gets from this match its that she won't have to change her boots later, and maybe the chance to build a MoM.

My advice: Give her some more tries. I'm not going to deny that she's strong, that would be retarded, but the way you see her just doesn't matches the truth.
