I'm sure there's a literal ton of people that have been waiting months for a question like this, but allow me to start off, since I can't say too much on Riven and there are others who can add to what I'll say.

First of all, she's a very faceroll type champ. Sure there's animation cancelling and what not that add technicality to her, but that doesn't change that a Riven can literally mash ERQQWQR and get kills as long as they auto attack once or twice. There are champions that do that much more so than her, but she can certainly do it, and it feels just as unfair when a Riven does it as a Ryze.

Next, she's limited by no resources, yet has a shield to negate poke damage that most champions pay in mana for(they need to use mana to poke that is). This makes laning against her extremely frustrating for certain champions, and it's good for negating damage on a somewhat low cd at any point.

Her ultimate is just insane. It gives her damage, range, AND an aoe execute. She becomes basically impossible to 1v1 while it's up, it lasts way longer than most big buffs, and has a short Cooldown.

Last thing I'm going to add, I think the word most people use to describe her is broken more so than over powered.
