She's squishy and has very limited defensive mobility (that is: merely 4 dashes and a stun). If you lock her down, she dies instantly. If you lock her team down and dodge her stun, you have a 5v4.

If you let her have a siege however, or do not control vision decently, you will have a hard time. This is intended. Riven on a team single-handedly means that your team wins a hard-engage scenario in almost all situations, which means they need great vision control around the siege area to avoid flanks. How weak would Riven as a champion be if you could easily out-damage her? She's called the queen of skillcap champions for a reason. You are not meant to challege a champ at his strengths without significant outplay. In Riven's case that would be superior dodging and aiming your own poke well enough that she runs out of health, which she inevitably does without her shield.

I haven't ever seen a capable player complain about Riven in the way that you and other "riven op" people do. Why? Because capable players abuse the full 1 second that shield  takes to charge as hard as it does. Or they correctly capitalize on minion-wave block and the fact that Riven doesn't have waveclear and is outtraded by almost everything outside of her ult.

If Riven is giving you trouble, you need to work on your dodging. Don't tell me it's not as easy as that, I'm not saying that it's easy, just that it's simple. It's mind-games and prediction, the slightest effort you put into learning to dodge those stuns is worth it. If you are consistently hit by Riven's stuns, then the player behind Riven is just playing the game better than you are.
