Carries are ranged, but there are few champions who have no basic abilities at more range than Riven does. That balances A LOT. Let's just say that I remember playing Caitlyn - not really the most mobile AD carry in the game - and I managed to keep my distance from the fed enemy Riven (who pretty much carried them) all the time if she didn't use flash.

I'd say that's pretty balanced.
