If you know the Riven combo so well, then why want bonus movement speed? Why want bonus attack speed? You got skills for in between each attack, you got 4 dashes to catch up...

Further, Frozen Mallet (which is surely a must on Riven; then an enemy can surely not walk away from you while using your combo) gives ALWAYS a slow, plus it is stronger. No one can escape with a constant 40% slow. A chance on 35% slow is escapable. And it gives much more health.

Did you, by the way, know that crits don't scale with her passive or the Tri Force passive? They only scale with normal attack damage. And Bloodthirster has a lot more attack damage, even unstacked, plus it gives life steal.

I laugh at people who use Tri Force on Riven, because it's very price, while 2 effects are useless, 1 effect works "less" because it doesn't scale with passive, another is not needed with four dashes, the next one should you already get (and with better numbers) from another item (no Frozen Mallet on Riven is just fail), your abilities cover the time in between your attacks (Q even resets the attack timer, you know), and attack damage is done much better with a (cheaper) Bloodthirster, and even with the bonus of life steal, which, I think, DOES work on the bonus damage from the passive.

Which means that you spend 4070 gold for 150% bonus ad on your next attack after using an ability.
