Bronze and Silver you should be able to do easy. Below basically Gold 1, skill with your main and general game knowledge is all that matters. Only around high Gold and above does countering really come into play. I'd say, keep playing Riven. At some point people will start knowing what she can do and probably not get caught by flash+stun anymore, but there are many ways around that, and if you position yourself correctly with Riven when ahead, you can force the enemy laner to decide between not getting any farm, and having to get into range of your combos.

About the free kills lategame, that's mostly a matter of playing more careful. Don't forget that you're squishy, and they can kill you almost as fast as you can kill them if you don't shield yourself, stun them, or kill them. The best is normally to wait for a tank on your team to initaite, and when everyone is using their ultimates and stuff, you at once jump in from the side and decimate the AD carry and AP carry before anyone got cc ready again.
