Okay for starters yes I was talking about a small nerf, I think it was clear to anyone that an AP scale would not be a buff but as you misunderstood I have stated that outright for you.

You also make a poor arguement to not nerf Riven when you state that when you trade you have to use all your skills to come out on top. For a champ with a mana bar that would be a problem of sustain, for a champ with an energy bar that would mean waiting long periods of time between combos. But when it comes to Riven all she has to wait for is cooldowns which (and I'm sorry if this honesty upsets you) are actually very quick even without CD reduction with only her lv 1 ult having any significant waiting period. This is made even MORE obvious when you compare her to her counter like Garen whose cooldowns are on average twice hers meaning she can trade twice as often and zone twice as much.

Also the luxury of not having a resource bar (mana/energy) to manage means she can focus on only buying health potions / build whereas a champ like nasus (argued counter) has to balance his laning against sustaining health AND mana.

Also the arguement that a single mistake will set you back is not just a Riven ability, that's called lanning against an opponent and is universal in this game. Yes it is even more so with Riven but that's why she is labelled as an assassin and not a fighter class, if you want that high reward of a high damage, high mobility champ then you have to take that risk of a fragile, one step from death assassin class. If you can't handle that I suggest you try a fighter or tank class in your next game.
