you should reconsider riven man. there are quite a few little things I could say here and there but this is a big one. you talk about how important bruisers are to this game mode and riven is one of the best counters to that class. she has a ton of interrupts and a ton of burst on short cool downs and she scales incredibly well. she can 1v1 almost any champ even under their own tower (including your beloved akali since she can just avoid between akali's longer cds) or at least push the minions and interrupt the other team for the cap. she has incredibly high mobility since her q and e move her as well. while their are arguably better champs out there for specific roles, she is my go-to champ if my team needs a pusher and is by no means sh*t tier.

(a more tanky kennen with some spell vamp wouldnt exactly make my sh*t tier either if youre still considering his viability btw. he can be effective with some comps at least.)
