You know, Riven doesn't have a ranged ability. Well, yeah, an execute which only actually does something after you've been in melee range already.

And that high mobility part... It's the only way a squishy melee champion can be even REMOTELY viable. The hard cc and the shields are just ways to limit mobility while still allowing those squishy melees to exist. Without cc or a shield, Riven or Yasuo would get destroyed by AD carries from minute 1 to minute 80. LITERALLY. Like, you can't do anything against it.
