its a minor nerf depending on your Riven skill. you cant always kill them in one standard combo sometimes you need extra AA's after your wind slash or more time for cooldowns.

"good" Rivens, including all-in Rivens (myself), would use the knock back to reposition the enemy to knock them back into you. this would buy you an extra second of autoattacks and give an extra second for cooldowns.

if this link is true its also a big nerf in the riven arsenal. losing the ability to cancel the animation with flash on Rivens third Q is pretty bad (for me anyways). i have not had time to test it out but please correct me if my information is wrong.
