Master Yi probably has something to say about being the only AD caster, but let's focus on Riven.

She is weak early. Aggressive, but weak. If her opponent doesn't know that her early game is when she needs to be shut down, that's on them and their jungler. If you can't be bothered to keep track of her CDs, then energy won't do anything really. And giVing her a resource only truly encourages Riot to compensate/improve her other aspects, like her already low CDS or even worse her damage. No one wants to deal with that, unless they are crazy and thinking Doom Bots.

And Riven is only a TF monster if you are crazy enough to engage her going in instead of retreating. Wait until she's blown Q, and she basically becomes a walking interupt. If your top doesn't spoon feed her, he/she should be ablessed to keep her back short of a good initiation, which just happens sometimes (no one is perfect). Letting anyou top lane fighter (Jax, Kassadin, Jayce, Yi, even Garen) get to your backline is a big no-no and will undoubtedly make them look OP if their team follows up.
