For all those that have been listening to Leyrann's comments on how to play Riven, he's correct in item builds. Though the one thing he's wrong about is Riven's combo... no idiot teamm will let Riven R - flash W without backing away first. The cast time to use your R is pretty long, and to cancel the animation, use your shield to dash forward. Then you can flash R and proceed to use the combo. Moreover, using this combo in lane is a long quicker and unexpected.

While Riven's team may intiate first and have a cc lock, for Riven to R then flash W, a. there's still at least .5 seconds of Riven's cast time to use R, and b. that ignores the opposing team and assumes all of them do nothing.
