I believe Fiora actually is a very hard counter to Riven now. Here is my reasoning:

-Fiora's Q and passive make it extremely easy for her to poke and get out quickly. This goes along perfectly with Riven's weakness in laning, which is that she can only burst at a melee range (with dashes, but still).

-Fiora's passive allows for sustain, whereas Riven has absoutely no sustain at all.

-Fiora's W can completely mess up Riven's combo, and then allow a 1.5 seconds for Fiora to deal free damage.

-Once Riven goes in (during laning), she doesn't really have an escape except for E. This allows Fiora to use her passive, Q, and E to stick to Riven and deal damage while all of Riven's spells are on cooldown.

-Fiora's ult counters Riven's ult. The movement speed from Fiora's ult will help her get out of the way of the increased range from Riven's ult. Riven's Wind Slash deals more damage based on missing health, but Fiora can just get a massive heal if she completes her ult.

-Once Fiora beats Riven a few times, she can easily take down a turret with her E. Since Rivens that are behind are almost useless, this heavily impares Riven.

-In team fights, Riven will be practically useless with Fiora's ult healing her whole team.
