You do realize her main damage spell (her Q) is also her main mobility spell? Her only way to get reliable damage on an ADC or midlaner, is to use Flash. Most people don't realize how easy it is to run from Riven in a teamfight. So Riot, knowing she has such short range gave her good scaling to give her snowballing potential but also gave her bad base values. Seriously, if she gets caught by one CC late game, she falls about as fast as an ADC, so she has to abuse her shielding, mobility, and lifesteal to win.
