Oh well... I simply love Riven. She have great escape/chase abilities, great damage outcome, if played properly, and pretty impressive sustainability. Usually I play her on top lane, since there in most cases she can even handle two champions at once. But... Even on bot lane, along with another character, she can be useful, thanks to early damage burst and domination on lane. Only I never played her in jungle, since... My jungling is no good, no matter with which champion I play. :P

If it's going about item build, I have practically only two items (besides boots, of course), which I always buy on her - W. Lantern and T. Force. Rest depends of later outcome of game. Usually it's F. Mallet with A. Impaler, but if enemies have more AP damage dealers, I buy first Hexdrinker and in later game make Maw of Malmortious out of it.

Sometimes I hear, that T. Force is just 'noob' item on Riven, but for me it's one of best. It gives her some hp, damage, attack speed to keep attacking between skills in combo and finally additional 150% damage every 2 seconds, which... Normally is activated 3-4 times in one combo, if made correctly.

Of course, it gives a little of useless mana and AP, but it can be forgiven thanks to the rest of item proporties.

Runes? Since I play her as offtank, I take flat armor/MR and armor penetration runes. Nothing fancy, but works pretty well on her.

Masteries? 21-9-0.

Right, tl;dr.
