I'm not Leyrann but I played Riven quite a bit so I hope I can contribute a little.

1) Her sustain is mediocre. You can try outsustaining her with red pots if you aren't a high sustain champion. If you can win trades with red pots, she won't be able to do a lot. In teamfights, CC her.

In general, play with care and go defensively. Not feeding her is key.

2) Anything with a good sustain are good against her. If she can't burst you down early on, she can't snowball and will be much easier to deal with later.

3) You really shouldn't be letting her get to this stage. If she does get to this stage, focus down all the other damage dealers first. Know that while she is able to pop down a few heads in a flash, the majority of damage will still be from the enemy ADC. If she gets fed at all, you should not 1v1 or even 1v2 her, but really swarm her.

In teamfights, peel her off of your carries but put her on rank 3 or 4 on the priority list. For clarification focus priority is 1st ADC, 2nd APC, then support at 3 or 4 depending on how much CC they bring, and 5 tank.

Easier said than done, so just don't let her get to this stage. It is much easier to just not feed her, especially now that her early game power and sustain had been nerfed quite a lot.

4) Garen is annoying not because of his spin, his silence does disable Riven quite effectively but the most annoying part is that he can be very tanky early on.

Olaf wins against Riven only if he can survive her combo. He has great burst and good sustain with his W on, but when W is on CD he really can't do much other than poke with axes.

5) Anyone with a good sustain and are not prone to feeding. You don't have to outright kill her to shut her down, you just have to make sure she doesn't get fed. Singed, Garen, Jax, possibly GP comes to mind.
