Ok so here is my 2 cents First of all, riven has a normal winrate and her problem is her ult, so this is how i see to counter play her (Hashtag ZelmawizEngrish)

FIRST, IF YOU CAN THEN COUNTERPICK HER, There is a difference between picking a Malphite against a Riven and a Gnar behind a riven, depending on your situation then you should have a natural advantage over her In game, best to begin with cloth and 5, too many idiots go for long sword and conplain about Riven doing damage. Second dont duel her early on, her damage is pretty strong earlier on and sort of fades later, dont try to fight her even if your a Jax or another Riven, second buy things that will hinder her power, get a quick Chain vest if you can and voila, she does less damage, next poke her down, if you can constantly telegraph so she wastes shields then thats a good thing. I see people say that Riven is a no skill champ but Riven has bad sustain and if she is wasting shields then its her fault, if done right she cant stay in lane at all. Next, If your afraid of riven roaming mid then do the nessesary actions, ping MIA, ward and tell mid to be cautious. You can be mad at Mid for feeding your lane if they dont follow up because frankly, why would they overextend with a MIA riven (#Goodperson). If done right you can bully her out of lane (Surprise!) And win mid game trades, I recommend you get to 6 Earlier as her strongest point early on is 6, if she wastes it then a window for a duel. If you take the nessesary steps then even a Gnar can out duel a Riven, i had done this before! Ok 2 cents donw
