The difference between Twitch and Riven is that Twitch is manageable early game. Riven isn't if the player has any idea how to play league of legends. She outdamages any solotop in the game, and once she grabs a bit of lifesteal, will completely dominate. She has the highest health regen in the game, and is cooldown based. So she has sustain, damage and mobility. All of that on top of scaling. It's easy to say "don't let her snowball" but considerably more difficult to actually do that without being lucky enough to have the ability to pick a champion that counters her directly, of which there are few.
